Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest single board computer in UnixBench?

The Orange Pi 6 Plus 32GB currently tops our UnixBench ranking with 10,152 (Multi-Core Index), measured on real hardware with our standardised test setup.

What is a good UnixBench score for an SBC?

Across the 109 boards we have tested, UnixBench results range from 113 to 10,152 (Multi-Core Index), with a median of 1,654. Anything above the median puts a board in the faster half of the market.

About UnixBench SBC Benchmark Rankings testing

UnixBench is one of the oldest Unix system benchmarks still in use, and unlike a pure CPU test it measures the whole system: integer and floating point maths (Dhrystone and Whetstone), but also file copies, pipe throughput, context switching, process creation, shell scripts and system call overhead. That makes the kernel, C library and storage part of the result, so it reflects how snappy a board feels running everyday Linux workloads. We run the full default suite of byte-unixbench twice: once as a single copy pinned to the board's fastest core, and once with a copy per core. Each score is UnixBench's System Benchmarks Index, where 10 equals the original 1990s reference machine. Higher is better.
