Hello, Serhi, if you're reading this. This is just me being pedantic but please correct it if possible. Seems like Geekbench has 1GB = 1024MB here. I mean, from this comparison, I clicked on [1] and [2] footnotes and found that in File Compression comparison of Multi-core scores, Snapdragon X Plus (X1P-42-100) (terrible name) scored higher than Ryzen AI 5 340 (another terrible name) here with 7144 points (1 GB/s) over 6986 points (1003.2 MB/s).
