I have the basic benckmarks for Raspberry Pi version 1, 2 and 3, and here is the comparison, all the benchmarks on different Pis are using the same operating system / package, so there won’t be a difference from the version of software.
The testing platform:
RASPBIAN JESSIE
Version: February 2016
Release date: 2016-02-26
Kernel version: 4.1
Since I just did these benchmarks on Raspberry Pi 3:
https://www.peterdavehello.org/2016/03/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-basic-benchmarks/
The Raspbian and all the softwares are up to date, so the benchmark results of Raspberry Pi 3 are just copied from that post, they are the same result. The results from Pi 1/2 are whole new tested, in fact they are very close to the test results I did before, I would say they are all in the tolerance scope, so I’ll just ignore the detail of the benchmarks, only focus on the final results, the performance.
PHP benchmark Script using PHP 5.6.17-0+deb8u1: (in secs, the lower the better)
Raspberry Pi model B+ – 141.145
