Lower than expected Speedometer 3 score on 7600X build

I'm encountering some puzzling behavior with Speedometer 3 benchmark results on my AMD systems and hoping someone can help explain what I'm seeing.

Setup:
Desktop: AMD Ryzen 7600X + Radeon RX 6600
Laptop: AMD Ryzen 7640U (integrated GPU)
Both running the same Linux OS and Chromium version

The strange part is that both systems are scoring exactly 25 on Speedometer 3, which seems wrong given that the 7600X should outperform the 7640U. Other benchmarks like Geekbench confirm this expected performance difference - the 7600X does score higher there by about 20% on single-core.

Notable system differences:
  • Display setup: Desktop is connected to a 240Hz monitor, while the laptop has a 120Hz integrated display
  • Memory configuration:
    Laptop: 32GB DDR5-5400 (preconfigured)
    Desktop: 64GB DDR5-4800 (RAM doesn't support EXPO)
Has anyone encountered similar behavior? I'm particularly curious if:
  • The memory speed difference could be holding back the 7600X in this specific benchmark
  • The display refresh rate could somehow be affecting the results
  • There might be some browser-specific settings I should check
  • Whether Speedometer 3 has any known quirks with AMD desktop vs mobile chips
Any insights or suggestions for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated!
