Since Primete Labs has released a new version of its popular Geekbench 6 benchmark, it will naturally lead to an adjustment of the ranking of the most powerful smartphones. For example, such a Google Pixel 7 managed to reach the Galaxy S22 Ultra, iPhone 14 But he is still an uncrowned king. 

The app came with several new tests, including background blurring during video calls, photo filters on social media, and object detection for AI workloads. For that reason, it tests new things on old devices, so of course it is useful to update the leaderboard to see if there have been any changes. By the way, Geekbench 6 is also much less focused on tests measuring single core performance, since it's not that important a number for the main core due to the fact that real-world use cases "pull" performance from different parts of the hardware. Therefore, a multi-core test should be considered as a liaison assessment.

We cannot carry out our own measurements, because we do not have such a wide range of equipment in the editorial office, however, what we cannot do, others will do. The magazine took it upon themselves xda-developers.com, which tested the currently most popular phones (the result is an average of three tests). Just such a Pixel 7 jumped by 700 points in the multi-core score.

After all, this is what proves the issue of similar tests, which is certainly not all-encompassing. Therefore, when choosing a phone, focusing exclusively on similar performance evaluation tests is not quite ideal. Benchmarks simply aren't the be-all and end-all of device testing, and they don't take into account the user experience, no matter how hard they try.
