<br>
Although the original Green Book benchmarks are not really very useful any more it is always fun to see what the number is and for a Pi3 we now hit ~100 Dorado. For $35 frikkin’ bucks! I suspect the Dorados used more cost of electricity per day than that.<br>
<br>
And for the larger ‘Shootout’ benchmarks that some prefer, the results are fairly impressive.<br>
nbody -42.6<br>
bintree - 30.4<br>
chredux - 53.9<br>
threadring - 67.9<br>
- all around 30% faster than the Pi2. Also interesting is the comparison with some old result Eliot logged for his 2012 MacBook Pro 2.2GHz quad i7 running the closure interpreter.<br>
nbody - 40.9<br>
bintree 30.6<br>
chredux - 30.7<br>
threadring - 9.2<br>
<br>
I think that’s quite good.<br>
