iPhone performance benchmarks after Spectre security update

Completely bogus. Absolutely no performance hit. Many people are reporting an increase in benchmark scores.
Unclear as to whether or not he did this testing immediately after updating to the new version. If he had, post-update indexing would cause performance to bog down a bit. Wish that was clarified.
Inconclusive from just one device tested and it was based on an 4 year old model iPhone 6. This test was conducted without taking other factors into consideration such as degraded battery resulted in throttling or indexing or iCloud resyncing after an update.
What if you did OTA update to the latest firmware that render your device stuck on the boot logo? Would you automatically assume it’s the worst update ever? Is it possible your device was just unlucky? How many iPhones experience such situation?
I believe we can’t generalized one instance to majority iPhone will result in this situation.

Doesn't appear to hold up: Performance hit after Spectre patch (11.2.2)
Not sure about iPhone 6 but no change here, my gb4 numbers pretty much same before and after patch on my 6s

I haven’t seen much of a difference between Geekbench scores between 11.2 and 11.2.2 and it honestly feels more fluid/faster. My multicore score went down around 1% and the single core score went up by a negligible amount
