The point is that it's supposed to stay the same so you can see what else is changing. If the scores change without clear understanding of why, a benchmark is useless. But for casual comparisons going from 5 -> 6 just raises the curtain on how subjective the matter. They could wave their hands and that was ok with me.īut since 5, GB is so well established as a reference that any question of refinement must address specific details of workloads: So far GB versions have for me been informed by a thread of plausible ignorance at the GB Corp as to what constitutes a good general benchmark, which they were evolving and refining. This update will lead to a lot of churn for GB Corp which is maybe good for them, but as they've released another instance with its own performance context this results in confusion for me (as an everyman) because my previous reference points of reference have just been reset, all too common for the computing industry. If anyone comes across a good writeup, please post. Unfortunately for users everywhere, details on what makes the workloads more meaningful (presumably) are not summarized.
