Geekbench 6 for Windows, Linux, macOS and Android

Popular and simple benchmark Geekbench is getting an update.

Primate Labs is shipping Geekbench 6 for Windows, Linux, macOS and Android. The new version is designed to focus on machine learning workflows and to address how processors with "big" and "little" cores share workloads. That means that Geekbench will "better take advantage of your GPU," as those jobs rarely just use the CPU.

Primate Labs' press release said: "New frameworks and abstraction layers for our benchmark also mean more accurate cross-platform comparisons for these measurements across device types and environments, with support for more ML acceleration instructions, as well as more uniform GPU performance across platforms,"

The tests will be able to quantify the way that cores share tasks in "true-to-life workload examples." Previously, Geekbench added together the performance of each core. It also features larger images, to simulate what you might actually take with your phone's camera.
