What is the Geekbench score? ›

Q What is the GeekBench score? A A multi-threaded, server orientated, CPU benchmark test. GeekBench is a processor benchmarking program. Like other CPU benchmarks, GeekBench runs a series of tests on a processor and times how long the processor takes to complete the tasks.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 scores 105,630 points in Geekbench's OpenCL benchmark and 99,419 points in Vulkan.

The RTX 4070 Super scored 195,384 points in Geekbench 6's OpenCL test and 219,237 in Geekbench 6's CUDA benchmark.

Ranking of single-core processors by Geekbench score performance worldwide 2024. As of March 2024, the Intel Core i9-13900KS processor achieved the best average single-core performance with a score of 3,107 from the Geekbench benchmarking tests.

Geekbench 6 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 2,500 (which is the score of a Dell Precision 3460 with a Core i7-12700 processor). Higher scores are better, with double the score indicating double the performance. Geekbench 6 provides two composite scores: single-core and multi-core.

When a device runs a Geekbench test the score can be uploaded to Geekbench's website which allows for the crowdsourcing of scores from different devices. As benchmark scores can differ slightly depending on the particular device and background processes, averaging these results improves their value.

Geekbench 4 provides one overall score for the Compute Benchmark. The overall score is the geometric mean of the scores of the individual Compute workloads. Each Compute workload has an implementation for each supported Compute API.

Why is Geekbench score low? ›

Why is my score so low? Low scores can be caused by running Geekbench while other apps are open or while your device is in low-power mode. Low scores can also be caused by hardware issues, which Primate Labs does not diagnose.

Free. The easiest way to benchmark all of your devices & manage your results in the Geekbench Browser. Includes: CPU Benchmark.

Geekbench 5 is out for free on the App Store, and the iPad Pro continues to show how capable of a device it is despite the updated testing criteria.

Geekbench 6 measures your device's CPU and GPU Compute performance. Use the Geekbench Browser to organize your Geekbench benchmark results and share them with other users around the world.

A good CPU benchmark score is generally considered to be 10,000 or higher on PassMark, while a score of 5,000 or higher is considered to be good. However, this can vary depending on the specific benchmark and the tasks you will be using the CPU for.

Admittedly, browsing through Geekbench 6 scores seems to point to that particular CPU only barely scraping 2000 points in single-core, but aside from that, the premise is that a device that scores 5000 is said to have twice the performance of the i7-12700.

You can find a chart of all the CPUMark values on the CPUbenchmark.net web site. A the time of writing 20,000+ was a high CPUMark while 8000 was more typical for a newish machine. The Mark values are good for a quick assessment of the hardware's performance.
