Geekbench 7 Is Out with Overhauled Performance Tests for CPU and GPU Workloads
Primate Labs says the benchmark adds larger datasets, redesigned multi-core tests, and AV1 and Opus audio and video workloads.
- Primate Labs released Geekbench 7 today, introducing updated tools for CPU and GPU performance with expanded media workloads and larger datasets reflecting modern hardware usage in everyday tasks and artificial intelligence.
- When Primate Labs released Geekbench 6 in early 2023, the company said "a lot changed in the tech world in the past three years," with AI and machine learning becoming ubiquitous across applications.
- Geekbench introduces new audio and video encoding tests including AV1 and Opus, with redesigned multi-core benchmarks that better reflect real software behavior. The software uses larger datasets for The PDF Viewer and The File Compression tests.
- Primate Labs added support for Nvidia's CUDA, joining existing GPU APIs like OpenCL, Vulkan, and Metal. The Pro license costs $99, discounted to $79 through August 6th, while the standard version remains free.
- The updated GPU Benchmark places greater emphasis on machine learning, with new workloads that Track faces, Upscale images, and Blur backgrounds in video conferencing. These additions provide accurate performance metrics as these technologies become ubiquitous in modern applications.
