Ah, I picked the wrong record referring to asmFishL_2017-05-22_popcnt, that was with the old Ipman bench. With SF 14.1 pop nn-1340 Linux as on Ipman's current page, it's 5969 kNPS.
Yes now it makes absolute sense. You can also run SF 14.1 with last parameter classical, and you should probably get close score to that one asmFish (even though somewhat lower).
Just as an example of extremely off Geekbench result, here is my almost one decade old CPU system (2x E5-2869 - 16 cores):
SF14.1 NNUE bench 18653886
SF14.1 classic bench 31898169
Geekbench 5 multi 7964
Geekbench 5 int (multi) 7650

Here are my numbers
i7-9700k 16509kn/s bench and 6317kn/s geekbench integer
i5-1135g7 6934kn/s bench and 4351kn/s geekbench integer
i7-11800h 21538kn/s bench and 8306kn/s geekbench integer
What kind of laptop is that one with 11800h?
What kind of SF you were running 14.1? avx2 or bmi2? Just "bench 1024 16 26" (no default depth NNUE as other options)?
Because with 14.1 bmi2 same CPU in dell xps15 I only managed 17678knps (default ipman bench settings) and 19758knps ("bench 1024 16 26") with max power settings and laptop basically standing outside in 5C temperature (so thermals were great).
