Geekbench is a benchmark that measures the performance of your CPU (processor of the computer). For this purpose, several 32-bit and 64-bit test runs are started, which get your CPU running properly.
- Geekbench is cross-platform and measures the performance of your computer and your mobile phone equally.
- The benchmark also measures the performance of your GPU (graphics processor), the second most important computing chip in your PC.
- The benchmark is 4000 points, which corresponds to an Intel Core i7-6600U with a clock frequency of 2.6 GHz.
- In the free trial version you need an internet connection. The more extensive purchase version also works offline and offers even more tests and evaluations.
- The test version performs various calculations such as PDF rendering, HDR calculation, JPEG compression, SQLite database queries, HTML5 translations, Gaussian blur calculations, face recognition and physics calculations.
- After a few minutes you have your result in the browser and can compare it with millions of other results.
- A popular alternative to Geekbench is 3D Mark, which measures your computer's 3D performance.
