There’s a bug in the Browser that we haven’t been able to track down yet that’s preventing the Mac Studio from appearing on the leaderboard.

jfpoole | 6 years ago | on: AMD Ryzen 9 3950X is the fastest processor on Geekbench
Geekbench exposes some strange behaviour around the memory allocator under Windows. On systems with more than 8 cores Geekbench spends a significant chunk of time in the memory allocator due to contention. This issue (at least to this degree) isn't present on Linux, so that's why Epyc scores are much higher on Linux than Windows.

jfpoole | 8 years ago | on: Performance comparison between 2017 iPad Pro and 2012 iMac
The 6700 result you selected is significantly faster than the average for the 6700: http://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks
Maybe it's overclocked? If you look at the averages for the 3770 and the 6700 Geekbench reports a difference of 20% for single core.
