Geekbench is one of the most popular benchmarking tools, allowing you to test how different computers, tablets, and phones stack up in computing performance. Now there’s a brand new version available.
Primate Labs, the developer group behind the utility, has released Geekbench 6. Just like earlier versions, it can run benchmark tests for both CPU and GPU performance, giving you a final score that you can compare against other devices and hardware. However, the exact tests have been tweaked to better reflect how modern software works on a given device.
According to the developers, the CPU benchmark is calibrated against a baseline score of 2,500, which comes from a Dell Precision 3460 with a Core i7-12700 processor. It tests navigation with OpenStreetMap, opening various pages using a background web browser, rendering complex PDF documents, indexing and editing images, and even compiling code. There’s also a GPU benchmark that tests support for OpenCL, CUDA, Metal (on Apple devices), and Vulkan APIs — that last one is new in Geekbench 6.
