Geekbench 7 Launches With Redesigned Multi-Core and GPU Benchmarks

[PBG4 Dude]

Are you serious? Unigine is outdated from 2009 and benchmarks OpenGL which was deprecated years ago in macOS.

It’s a benchmark with fancy graphics. That’s what was requested. 🤷‍♂️

Im glad they are still around. Good job.

They always like outdated - https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks where is M5 Pro results?? its M6 release soon...

Not the M6 Pro though, if Gurman is to be believed.

It’s either that or pay for a subscription. Pick your poison. 🤷‍♂️ All the buy once software I have used has been like that? Want the new version? Pay for it.

except for Final Cut Pro. I bought that one in my last year of university 15 years ago and still get updates. Lol.

Only seeing 6 on the App Store as of now. Will keep checking back.

Seems like they botched launch day a bit. It isn’t on the app store, and the installer for macOS is corrupted.

Unable to download on iOS

If I follow the article link to the developer's website, then tap on download now, I end up on the Geekbench 6 app page.

Ridiculous.

Bummer was looking for Geekbench 7 but only getting 6. Maybe tomorrow

I just ran it on my 14” MacBook Pro M4 Pro (14-core) with 48 gb ram and received the following scores:

Single-Core: 3424
Multi-Core: 25488
OpenCL: 68558
Metal: 117044

Just downloaded it for my m5 air, just ran the cpu test so far

Single-Core: 3642
Multi-Core: 17941

Insane that Geekbench charges for every update, so you have to re-purchase the same app every year perpetually.

I've only used the free one and take the results with grains of salt every time

yea I don't see the reason to buy the pro version for the average user.

3DMark has modern GPU benchmark tools with fancy graphics even for Mac.

I guess all the scores have to be reset, and we can’t compare GeekBench 6 scores with GeekBench 7 scores, right?

Even so, this is a much welcomed update, with chips more and more focused on local AI, graphics and video encoding/decoding. Hopefully it will stay as the reference benchmark for a few years (including the M6 and M7 generations), so that we can see the huge improvements that come with the new chips and we feel the need to replace our Mac lol

I’m really curious about the M6 performance gains, or maybe the M6 is mostly about efficiency, lowering power consumption and heat generation.

The M7 is going to be a whole different beast, according to rumors.
