Geekbench

Geekbench is a cool tool that a lot of people use to check how well their Mac performs. Over the years, it’s become pretty much the go-to benchmark for businesses, tech reviewers, and everyday folks. In just a few minutes, you can see how your Mac stacks up against others thanks to its big online database.

Testing CPU and GPU Performance

This app tests both CPU and GPU performance using benchmarks that mimic real-life situations. You can even upload your results to see how they compare with similar devices. Plus, it works across different platforms! So, you can compare your Mac with Windows or Linux PCs easily.

Easy to Use

Using Geekbench is super simple! Running a CPU test is as easy as clicking one button. For the GPU test, all you need to do is choose your compute API and device. Just make sure no other apps are running while you let Geekbench work its magic.

Quick Benchmarking on M1 Macs

If you're on an M1 Mac, the benchmarks usually take less than three minutes! With the free version, your results will automatically upload to the Geekbench Browser and open in your default web browser. If you opt for the Pro version, you can run everything offline but still have the option to upload results later.

What Does Geekbench Measure?

Geekbench runs multiple tests designed to check how well your system handles everyday tasks like file compression, navigation, browsing, text processing, HDR imaging, ray tracing, and more. It gives you separate scores for single-core and multi-core performance too!

Your Results Explained

You’ll get a combined score plus individual scores for each test metric. This way if something seems off with your overall score, you can spot which specific test might be dragging it down.

A Great Database of Results

The best part about Geekbench? Its massive results database! You can find scores for every CPU and GPU available today right there online. This makes it easy to rank them and figure out which one is best for your needs.

Using Your Results as a Baseline

After running a benchmark on your system, those results can be used as a baseline when comparing against other CPUs and GPUs. While it's a bummer that you can't do this directly from the app's interface, using your browser isn’t too much trouble at all!

A Reliable Benchmark Tool

In short, Geekbench remains an awesome tool for checking out performance on popular desktop and mobile platforms alike! It’s fantastic for quickly assessing how well your Mac performs compared to others out there. With its user-friendly interface, getting started is super easy!
