Why my geekbench score so low?

Which system do you use? Android, Ubuntu, OOWOW or others?

Ubuntu 22.04 via oowow

Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others?

Official image

Please describe your issue below:

I recently got Khadas vim4 and orange pi 5 and tried to bench test both system.

Vim4 is installed ubuntu 22.04 via oowow and apt upgraded to the latest.
Opi5 is installed ubuntu 20.04 image from their official web site.

I have tested with geekbench 5.4.4 for aarch64 version

And here is the result.
vim4 goes here: single 349, multi 1482

Opi5 goes here: single 590, multi 2516

VIM4 introduction page shows vim4 marked 1464 for single and 5388 for multi which is way above from both systems.

Is there any reason vim4 marked such low result?
What am I missing here?

The geekbench results on our website is based on Android, why you use geekbench on linux ? It’s not very useful.

Every benchmarks gives different results and can have hundreds of reasons why they differ.
Kernel version, software version, packages used, cooling, undervolting, bad settings, missing drivers, …
To say just a few.
I’ve got tons of benchmarks and learned how to read them and not put too much confidence in some weird results. Now on different RK3588 devices I get weird 7Z scores. Ones who are clocked higher perform worse, some single core scores ain’t great. But then with Blender al perform the same when the same blender version and distro version is used.

Because I am trying to run ROS 2 on linux for robotics application. There is no way to run ROS on android right?

Yes, but no need to care about the geekbench scores on linux.
