CPU Benchmark Addon

@ Kju you’re welcome BUT remember this is what the developer wrote

"> CPU Benchmark uses pystone a single core python module to benchmark native python implementation.

Brut python performance is calculated using a standard metric “pystone” . Users can formulate real word expectations comparing Kodi plugin performance.

The pystone score does not reflect hardware capabilities, nor does it benchmark them. pystone does not take into account multi-core processing, which can greatly impact the performance of plugins that supports it … Enjoy!!."

the single core python scores will have a big play in addons but some addons might utilise multicore more etc.

I still think the scores do really well to show relative performance for addons.

the developer has an I/O Benchmark addon
https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:I/O_Benchmark

I’ve ran it and got results that are all over the place, so I’m asking the developer to have a look.
once it’s ready and we combine these REA/WRITE scrores with the single core python scores, we’ll get a slightly better picture,

so boxes with the same SOC, might give you different READ speeds. these read speeds have an impact on how fast artwork will be displayed, I also want random read speeds if the author can manage.

so user can run this and report back so I can add to the collumn. will be fun :smiley:
if you have any results you want to add to the community table, I’d be happy to take them

So the “somewhat faster” from the first post is a bit misleading. When I replaced my N2+ with a Homatics R 4K Plus I felt a big performance degradation. But I thought, it was due to the EMMC vs USB. But now I think it’s more likely that it’s the CPU itself.

I mentioned this countless times to ht2tweak that saying something like the N100 is same speed as AM6B+ is not fair representation. big reason why I looked around for an addon to give us better objective measurement.

the SK1 is a huge surprise though, it’s 90% faster single core python speed. THX
