@lanefu Sorry, I forgot to share my benchmark file.
I did find out that 7-zip multicore results are not to be trusted on SBC's with different cluster performance. The VIM3 has a very big difference so it only uses 500% of 600%. The N2 has a smaller difference in performance between A73/A53 so uses 550% in 7-zip multicore scores. (also lack of memory is a problem)
CPU Miner is good, 7zip single core benchmarks are good. And for me Blender is important too.
Reasons why benchmarks can be misleading
----------------------------------------
throttling
32-bit/64-bit
Difference in cores A53/A7/A15/A72
distro (ubuntu/debian...)
distro version
kernel version
driver versions
compiler version
software version/outdated repositories
desktop Mate/Xfce/LXDE/...
display resolution/headless
background processes
cpu clockspeed
ram clockspeed/latency
ram useage/swap/zram
process sheduler
optimizations for the system/distro
crypto engine for encryption
Undervoltage
config settings
Wifi dongle
CONFIG_HZ=250 - 1000 or any other
7-zip works a bit better on 32-bit vs 64-bit, it doesn't use all cores at 100% in multi-core scores. The percentage differs with different distro's and boards. So it's not completely exact.
7-zip has problems with big-LITTLE architecture for multi-core benchmark. Better to test the clusters seperately.
Blender works a lot better on 64-bit than on 32-bit. It uses 100% of the cores.
CPU Miner only works on 64-bit. Works better in Ubuntu Bionic than in Debian Stretch.
Blender : BMW render @ 1080p
7-zip : Numbers are average of 3 of decompressing only
All tests are done with a fan when necessary so no throttling occurs.

Some benchmark tools can give an estimate of the performance. But they are never an exact reflection.
I got my EDGE this weekend. And in the coming days plans to start assembling and testing Armbian for Khadas EDGE.
By the way, according to Robert, this model plays well videos up to 4K on Ubuntu from Youtube.
