Linpack vs AnTuTu Benchmark
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Linpack
This utility measures a system's floating-point computing power by solving dense linear equations. It reports results in millions of floating-point operations per second (MFLOP/s) and includes checks for solution accuracy and machine precision.
- Measures floating-point computing power
- Solves dense linear equations
- Reports MFLOP/s
- Checks solution accuracy
- Determines relative machine precision

Linpack Benchmark The LINPACK Benchmarks are a measure of a system's floating point computing power. They measure how fast a computer solves a dense N by N system of linear equations Ax = b, which is a common task in engineering. The solution is obtained by Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting, with 2/3·N3 + 2·N2 floating point operations. The result is reported in millions of floating point operations per second (MFLOP/s, sometimes simply called FLOPS). Results. Mflop/s: Millions of floating point operations per second. A floating point operation here is a floating point addition or a floating point multiplication with 64 bit operands. For this problem there are 2/3 n^3 + n^2 floating point operations. Time: The time in seconds to solve the problem, Ax=b. Norm Res: A check is made to show that the computed solution is correct. The test is based on || Ax - b || / ( || A || || x || eps) where eps is described below. The Norm Res should be about O(1) in size. If this quantity is much larger than 1, the solution is probably incorrect. Precision: The relative machine precision usually the smallest positive number such that fl( 1.0 - eps ) < 1.0, where fl denotes the computed value and eps is the relative machine precision.

Here is the translation of the content into English, tailored for a tech product announcement style: New Version Performance Benchmark: A Comprehensive Upgrade for Your Device Experience! This software update brings a revolution in performance benchmarking. Covering everything from the processor to storage, user experience, and graphics processing, we aim to simulate real-world usage scenarios more accurately, helping you fully understand your device's potential. CPU Test: Closer to Daily Use, Understanding Your Needs In our CPU single-core and multi-core testing, we have moved beyond traditional theoretical benchmarks. The new version incorporates more practical application scenarios—such as common encryption/decryption and compression algorithms—to comprehensively examine CPU performance during daily tasks. Additionally, we have introduced a dedicated **CPU AI test** to evaluate the processor's AI computing capabilities, giving you clear insight into your device's future potential. MEM Test: Deep Dive into Memory & Storage Limits Beyond the existing memory bandwidth and latency tests, we have deeply optimized storage performance testing. In addition to traditional sequential and random read/write operations, we have added a **mixed random read/write test** to simulate the real-world load during multitasking. Furthermore, considering the advent of the AI era, we have specifically included a test for AI Large Model file reading capabilities, aimed at assessing device performance when handling future large-scale applications. UX Test: User Experience – Feel the Smoothness in Every Detail We haven't just upgraded existing test items to better match actual user scenarios; we've also added several key tests. You can now benchmark your device's performance in handling daily office documents with the new **Word document and Excel spreadsheet processing tests**, providing a more intuitive reference. Additionally, we have added a **video format conversion test** to comprehensively evaluate the device's multimedia processing capabilities. GPU Test: UE5.5 Engine – Unveiling the Beauty of Light and Shadow The Graphics Processing Unit testing has undergone a massive upgrade. All test scenes have been remastered using the **Unreal Engine 5.5 (UE5.5)** to present more realistic and exquisite visuals. Engine Upgrade & Rendering Optimization: We have upgraded the engine and adjusted the rendering for classic scenes such as "Seasons: The Cabin" and "Coastline HD: Stone Sanctuary," aligning them with future GPU design trends to fully unleash hardware potential.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Linpack at none against AnTuTu Benchmark's shown. Linpack also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). AnTuTu Benchmark's advantage is ratings volume (8.6K vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Linpack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AnTuTu Benchmark has 8.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Linpack's written reviews are positive against 83% of AnTuTu Benchmark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Linpack ships an update every 8 months, AnTuTu Benchmark every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
