Primate Labs releases new Geekbench 6 benchmark

Primate Labs has just announced its latest iteration of one of the most popular performance benchmarks for both CPUs and GPUs in the form of Geekbench 6.

Geekbench 6 like its predecessors measures your processor’s single-core and multi-core power.

The multi-core benchmark in particular is said to have undergone a significant overhaul that now measures how cores cooperate to complete a shared task rather than assigning separate tasks for each one.

It is also said to measure performance in new application areas such as Augmented Reality and Machine Learning.

Geekbench 6 also tests your system’s GPU with its Compute Benchmark to see its power for gaming, image processing, and video editing.

It has support for the OpenCL, CUDA, and Metal APIs with also now support for Vulkan.

Geekbench 6 is also said to have new and updated Real-World Tests such as:

• Blur backgrounds in video conferencing streams
• Filter and adjust images for social media sites
• Automatically remove unwanted objects from photos
• Detect and tag objects in photos using machine-learning models
• Analyse, process, and convert text using scripting languages

They also updated the datasets to help better align with the file types and sizes common today with:

• Higher-resolution photos in image tests
• Larger maps in navigation tests
• Larger, more complex documents in the PDF and HTML5 Browser tests
• More (and larger) files in the developer tests

Geekbench 6 is also cross-platform for users to compare performance across devices and is now available to download on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users are also able to also share their results on the Geekbench Browser.

Geekbench 6 will remain free for all users while Geekbench 6 Pro on the other hand is priced at USD 99PHP 5,810INR 8,390EUR 94CNY 721 retail but is now on sale with a 20% discount for just USD 79PHP 4,636INR 6,695EUR 75CNY 575 until February 28, 2023.

Geekbench 6 Pro adds more tools for professionals such as Benchmark Automation, Standalone Mode, and Online & Offline Results Management.
