Remember that geekbench doesn't test *exactly* the same things as the dolphin JIT generates (which is why I dislike pc "enthusiasts" bandying around "IPC" as a single magic number to compare - IPC doing *what* is important - there can be big changes in relative performance doing different things and running different instruction streams. To be honest, the entire goal of using a single number to compare will always be nonsense, as different designs will be better/worse at different things).
And the dolphin JIT happens to like really wide frontends and reorder buffers, which means that the big x86_64 CPU designs (like and post-p4 Intel and AMD's ryzen) tend to overperform what you'd expect from just comparing the geekbench scores (compared to most arm designs at least)
