Geekbench has been updated, after several years on the major version 5, to its version 6.0. This is done with new tests and a new algorithm to calculate the results in multithreading for this benchmark, something that should yield figures that are more representative of the real use that users make with their terminals. providing higher fidelity than other synthetic tools.
Among the new tests that we find in Geekbench 6, we find some modern classics, such as blur the background of a video in real time, the application of filters in images for social networks, automatic removal of objects in photographs, labeling using artificial intelligence, and text analysis.
In addition, the operation of multithread tests has been changed, so instead of assigning separate tasks to each processor core, tasks will now be performed where all cores can cooperate, thus highlighting what the final result will be in applications that make use of several cores, instead of synthetic performance by loading each core with a different application.
Undoubtedly, this will also mean that the results generated with Geekbench 5 will not be comparable with those of Geekbench 6, something that we will take into account here when carrying out our migration in the benchmarks of our reviews, since we will also use the new version of Geekbench, possibly in conjunction with the previous version.
