Footnotes

  1. Thermally throttled; 4.5GHz max boost.

  2. Core i7 1st gen refresh, Westmere-EP LGA1366 tripple memory channel

  3. Orange Pi 5 RK3588S with 4x Cortex-A76 2.4GHz, 4x Cortex-A55 1.8GHz and a cooling fan attached. Powered by a 5V 2A USB phone charger.

  4. Open-air passive cooling time is 821 sec with A55 cores throttled to 1.2-1.4GHz; no frequency data for A76.

  5. Would be 7096 seconds at 100% CPU utilization

  6. 8205 seconds of CPU time
