It is indeed a very nice improvement. I will point out that the earlier GB6 test uses version 6.2.1 and the recent one uses 6.3.0. However, according to Primate Labs, the results are comparable as long as the CPU does not have Scalable Matrix Extensions support (which the Pi 5 does not). See https://www.geekbench.com/blog/2024/04/geekbench-63/The average 41 percent improvement seen by
2126/1507=1.41
for GeekBench 6 obtained without changing the executable or hardware is astonishing.
For the tests themselves, they were both run on fresh Bookworm installations with force_turbo=1, so the results should be trustworthy.
