The most noteworthy improvements in Geekbench 6 involve an updated dataset to better reflect the use of the latest technologies.
These changes are evident in the test tasks:
- Higher resolution photos captured by smartphones (12-48MP)
- HTML examples representing modern web design standards
- A larger image library to test input performance
- Larger maps to test navigation
- Larger and more modern PDF examples
- Increased size of the Clang workload
In other words, all these changes better reflect the usage of smartphones and computers in 2023. Primate Labs, the developer of Geekbench, understands that machine learning and tasks requiring more computation are better indicators of smartphone performance. Therefore, new tests have been added to Geekbench to better reflect how we actually use our smartphones.
From experiments in blurring backgrounds during video calls to enhancing beamforming and AI object detection, numerous advancements will most accurately reflect your smartphone's performance.
This new version of Geekbench is also changing how applications operate and standard benchmarks are scored, with tests now leveraging the better advantages of the GPU. Moreover, Geekbench 6 will not overly focus on single-core CPU tests, but multi-core scores will have a new calculation method, measuring how cores share workloads similar to tasks users perform daily.
