Maybe you don't have one, but wouldn't the RPi3 be a more fair comparison?

Right on both counts.

Michael @ phoronix.com just benchmarked several ARM boards. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=raspberry-pi-3
I am running 'phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1603058-GA-RASPBERRY01' on my board right now, after it is done, I will re-run with the latest update from @longsleep.
From the first (unifinished test) the performance of Pine is slightly behind RPi 3 probably due to thermal throttling, slightly lower CPU frequency and the cpu governor.

I also curious on Pine A64 vs RPi 3 and looking forward on your benchmark result.

These are all still 32 bit builds. To see the real performance, we need 64 bit distros and benchmarks on both boards.
RE: Pine 64 benchmarks - janjwerner - 03-06-2016
well I will run what is currently available. That should give us some insight. When 64bit builds are available I will redo the benchmarks. Another thing to test will be bsp vs mainline kernel. But lets gi one step at a time
RE: Pine 64 benchmarks - janjwerner - 03-06-2016
Ok. first round check out "Pine64+ take 2"

RE: Pine 64 benchmarks - longsleep - 03-06-2016
Benchmark comparisons like this are not useful. You need to include thermal information (eg. heat sink, fan) temperature and thermal throttling details as well including environment temperature. Also you need to make sure that you did loose any cores during one benchmark and then run the next with only 2 or even 1 core (once they are off, they are not turned on again).
This is easy to do with RPi monitor which can easily be installed on the Pine64 with the script from @tkaiser: http://kaiser-edv.de/tmp/4U4tkD/install-rpi-monitor-for-a64.sh
Share the graphs which capture the test runs.
Also i have some scripts to monitor on the command line at https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/tree/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts and to turn disabled cores back on.
This are the thermal results running my optimized BSP on the Pine64 without heat sink at 23C room temperature while the pine lies flat on the table without enclosure.

Cooling limit : roomage:0,0,0,0,1152000,4,0,0This means, it runs stable at 816.00 MHz in cooling state 3 at around 90C with 4 cores burning with a8 optimized code. To add more load, run the cpuburn-53 code which utilized the full CPU capabilities and draws a lot more power / heat.
Also there is the undervoltage problem. If your Pine crashes/freezes it is not because of the heat - most likely you draw too much power and the USB cable / Power supply cannot provide it. Use better/shorter USB cable and another better power supply in such cases.

NOTE: Be careful with tuning the thermal details and running cpuburn - you can damage things!

OK, take two (err 4

and here with actually relevant data...

benchmark started around 6.20 finished around 8.20. Ignore the first spike from the RPi Monitor.
There is a mysterious hole with cpu count dropped to 0, but vcore and soc temperature are stable so I think it's more of mis-handling the data rather than 4 cpu's giving up.
Power supply: AC/DC CONVERTER, 11W, 5V, 2.2A; from Digikey ( sadly not available atm). I guess one could try this one: http://www.newark.com/stontronics/t5875dv/plug-type-aus-euro-uk-us/dp/77Y6535
