Linpack is the most popular benchmark for ranking of supercomputers and high performance systems by performance. General idea of Linpack benchmark is to measure the number of floating point operations per second (flops) used to solve the system of linear equations. Top500 list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world is based on the Linpack results.
MLX Benchmarks

MLX Benchmark helps you understand how large language models perform on your hardware. Select a model and quantization, set context length and iterations, and run repeatable benchmarks that capture load time, tokenization time, time to first token, throughput, memory usage, and jitter. View detailed metrics grids, visualize comparisons in charts, and manage downloaded model repos directly in the app. Built for developers and AI enthusiasts who want clear, on-device performance insights without leaving their device. Features: - Model selection with quantization details - Configurable prompt, context length, and iterations - Metrics for load, tokenization, first-token latency, throughput, jitter, and memory - Charts to compare runs and devices - Downloaded model management (list, delete, refresh) - Optional Supabase upload for aggregating benchmark results

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MLX Benchmarks at every 2 days against Mobile Linpack's fortnightly. Mobile Linpack's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
