To be honest, I suspect their Raspberry Pi 4 benchmarks are being hurt by a couple things:

• Clock throttling
• 32-bit OS

I imagine they just ran a Pi 4, straight out of the box.

It'd be good to see some independent benchmarks against a Pi that's at least being properly cooled, and preferably even running the same OS.
