When running benchmarks, you should normalize the results to a standard. Either make n the same for all calculators or if the results are too small to measure, increase the number of trials and then divide the results to be the equivalent. In the case above, you should divide the G850VS results by 10 and the 50g results by 1000 so they can both be directly compared to the 1401.
