# Results

Below some results collected. Please keep in mind that these are **NOT** hardware performance numbers but depend on software/settings (see the differences kernel version makes for RockPro64 for example). The purpose of `sbc-bench` is to generate insights and not colorful graphs representing numbers without meaning. It's perfectly fine for the same hardware appearing multiple times with different numbers since those differ for a reason (software/settings).

Especially *openssl* numbers should be taken with a huge grain of salt since the benchmark numbers depend on kernel features and performance with other use cases (e.g. disk/filesystem encryption) [might look  differently](https://forum.armbian.com/topic/7763-benchmarking-cpus/?do=findComment&comment=59235).

So do **not** rely on collected numbers unless you carefully read through all the explanations and insights below and be prepared to conduct your own benchmarks if you really want to choose appropriate hardware for **your** use case.
