Geekbench 4
Geekbench 4 is a cross-platform CPU and memory benchmark tool from Primate Labs, designed to measure the performance of computers under standardized workloads. It is widely used by technology journalists, reviewers, Mac owners and system administrators to compare processor speed across different systems and architectures, and to track performance improvements over time. Geekbench 4 provides single-core and multi-core test results that serve as reference points for performance discussions and purchasing decisions.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionGeekbench 4 has been discontinued by Primate Labs and is no longer receiving updates or support. While the app still runs on Apple Silicon Macs through Rosetta 2 emulation, it will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028). Primate Labs has moved development to Geekbench 5 and Geekbench 6, which both provide native Apple Silicon performance and are actively maintained. If you need a current benchmarking tool, upgrade to Geekbench 6 (the latest version) or Geekbench 5; both offer native performance on M-series Macs and are still receiving regular updates. Geekbench 6 is available directly from Primate Labs and reflects the most current hardware capabilities. Upgrading now will ensure your benchmarking tool continues to work reliably beyond the September 2028 deadline and provides more accurate performance measurement on modern Apple Silicon systems.
