The problem is most Internet benchmark test results are platform specific:

I'd expect so. I can install some version of Windows on a pc and run
a benchmark. I can install some version of Linux on the same pe can
run a benchmark. I'd never expect the same results.

See second paragraph under Interpreting Results. Comparing devices
with the same OS already has its problems, and you want to aggravate
them by comparing Apples with Phones.


I understand that the benchmarks don't generally cross platforms, but the
$130 LG Stylo 3 Plus 32GB octacore phablet is similar in raw specs to the
$670 Apple iPhone 7 Plus 32GB quadcore phablet - so I was hoping to see how
they differed in performance.

The iPhone has half as many cores, but a faster clock speed for half of
those, while the LG has the same clock speed for 4 of its cores that the
iPhone has for 2 of its cores.

The iPhone has 1GB more RAM (at 3GB) while the LG raw specs are better than
the iPhone on almost all other hardware attributes.

Hence I wanted a one-to-one comparison of the two since I have access to
both.
