you should try running Linpack on them all (you can find the results here mixed in with other machines I own) https://web.eece.maine.edu/~vweaver/group/machines.html
When I did that on Pi3 when it first came out you could crash the system because the thermal throttling wasn't fast enough (the temp sensor was on the GPU not CPU). When I reported the issue on the pi forums the answer was essentially "why would anyone ever want to do that"
I've been testing HPL on all my SBCs for years: https://sbc-reviews.jeffgeerling.com/reviews/results/
But still haven't gotten a full run on any Pi prior to the 4 B.

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

With all due respect to Raspberry Pi and everything they’ve accomplished in the educational and hobby space,
I felt that one in my bones. I suspect a lot of people with embedded experience who worked with Raspberry Pi over the years feel it too.
Least useless Pi forums answer. it's always the same five people too.
