Geekbench is a cross-platform processor benchmark, with a scoring system that separates single-core and multi-core performance,[1][2] and workloads that simulate real-world scenarios. The current version, Geekbench 4, uses scores that are calculated against a baseline score of 4000, which represents the performance of an Intel Core i7-6600U @ 2.60 GHz. The software benchmark is available for macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. Geekbench 4 also measures GPU performance in areas such as image processing and computer vision.
Linus Torvalds, who is the creator and principal developer of the Linux kernel, criticized Geekbench versions 3 and earlier for showing partiality for ARM64 devices and being a bad performance measure of x86-based systems, he called GB as bad a benchmark as Dhrystone, which he and others have ridiculed for years. [3] When version 4.0 of Geekbench was released his comment was, "Looks much better."[4]
