Primate Labs has announced a new version of its globally popular benchmark - Geekbench 6. The company claims that phones and computers are getting faster and faster, so previous methods of measuring their performance gains are quickly becoming obsolete.
Geekbench 6 brings larger photos, a larger image library for importing tests, and larger and more modern example PDF files. The app now takes up more space on all platforms as it comes with several new tests, including background blur during video calls, photo filters on social media, and object detection for AI workloads.

Geekbench 6 is much less focused on single-core performance tests. According to Primate Labs, the number is not that important for the main core because real-world use cases "pull" performance from different parts of the hardware. Machine learning is also on the rise, which is why the multi-core result has also been reworked.
The end result is not just the performance of four different cores. The tests measure how the cores "actually share the workload in real-world workload examples." The mobile world has been mixing big and small cores for some time, but now desktops and laptops have caught up, making the older version of Geekbench unreliable.

In addition, Geekbench 6 uses better GPU calculations with new frameworks and abstraction layers. Cross-platform comparisons will be more accurate because the developer has integrated more instructions into the app to accelerate machine learning and uniform "graphics" performance across platforms. A new version of the popular benchmark is available now, for platforms Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.
