OK, so is PassMark more accurate than Geekbench?

(And, still, that's with M1 having 4 cores tied behind its back for better battery life).

Neither bench reflects real world performance. Run cinebench, 7zip, h265 encode, blender render, etc.

Unless your primary workload is media encoding or rendering in Blender, those benchmarks are just as artificial as the truly artificial ones.

Most people’s performance workload is dominated by media consumption—not media creation. But the latter sure does make for good benchmarks.
