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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Linpack at none against AIDA64's 2. Linpack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (78% vs 47%). AIDA64's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 5) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AIDA64 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Linpack asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Linpack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AIDA64 has 2.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Linpack's written reviews are positive against 47% of AIDA64's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Linpack ships an update every 8 months, AIDA64 every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
