Geekbench has become a staple of cross-platform benchmarking, and there’s a new version hot off the press. We’ve grabbed the software and a selection of the latest and greatest smartphones to see how they handle this new CPU test. But before we get into the numbers, let’s dive a little bit more into the new benchmark.
What’s new with Geekbench 6?
According to Primate Labs’ John Poole, Geekbench 6 is primarily designed to improve the real-world relevance of its benchmarking suites. It’s built to emulate modern workloads, ranging from video conferencing background blur to machine-learning subject tagging like in Google Photos. That’s required quite a few under-the-hood tweaks to bring the suite up to date.
