> faster than Pi4 but slower than Pi5
It may actually be faster than a Pi5.
The benchmark is well tuned for ARM64 but not so well adapted to RISC-V, especially the vector extensions.
You may still be right of course. The SpaceMIT K3 is exciting because it may still be the first RVA23 hardware but it is not exectly going to launch a RISC-V laptop industry.
There isn't much to tune in some, e.g. the clang benchmark. We know that many of the benchmarks already have RVV support (compare BPI-F3 results between versions) and three are still missing RVV support. I think the optimized score would be in the 500s, but that's still a lot lower than Pi5.
