Geekbench
Geekbench is a cross-platform benchmarking utility developed by Primate Labs that measures single-core and multi-core CPU performance, graphics performance, and machine-learning capabilities. It is widely used by enthusiasts, reviewers, journalists, and Mac buyers to compare processor performance across different hardware configurations and generations. Geekbench has become the de facto standard benchmark for evaluating Mac performance and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon processors. Results are submitted to a public database where users can view aggregate scores for specific Mac models and configurations.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionGeekbench has shipped native Apple Silicon support since version 5.3, released in late 2020. The latest versions (Geekbench 6 and Geekbench AI) are Universal Binaries and run natively on M-series Macs. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, update to the latest version at geekbench.com/download to get the native build and native performance. The download page will automatically serve the Universal Binary on Apple Silicon Macs, so the standard installer is all you need. No special settings or beta channels are required — the native build is the default and has been standard for several years.
