Apple’s 2½ year old iPhone 12 is 6% faster than the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
I guess my question is - why do I care about geekbench?  When was the last time someone who doesn't play games on their phone thought "man, I wish this was faster"?  Because it's been years for me.  The good news I hear is that Samsung is finally improving their battery life.  That is a score that I actually care about.
