I'm kind of annoyed that Geekbench has become such a popular benchmark, because it is mostly useless at assessing anything real world.

I understand why it has though. There aren't many options out there when you want to compare capabilities across platforms (PC, Apple, Android, iOS, etc.) Still, that doesn't mean the results mean much (if anything)
