Geekbench

Given the rapid pace at which technology advances nowadays, those seeking the highest level of raw performance may wish to stay up to date regarding the latest hardware tests before choosing their next computer they have to use on a daily basis. While many forums or manufacturers’ own websites can be of use in this regard, a more complex set of carefully crafted benchmarking operations may be a better choice, which is where industry-leading GeekBench comes into play, providing you with a series of scores to compare your computer with other devices and see whether it fits your requirements.

Once installed, starting up the program greets users to a straightforward, non-resizable in portrait orientation featuring the quintessential collapsible command ribbon that used to be a staple of Windows desktop applications prior to its 11^th iteration. IT professionals testing devices with different motherboard, memory and processor combinations can make good use of the program’s default start-up screen, which specifies the exact model numbers of those very key components to distinguish between two laptops from the same line-up built with lower RAM capacity, for instance.

With an increasingly higher number of games demanding more performance out of the target device’s processor, being able to find out how the CPU fares compared to its successors can help you decide whether upgrading is a requirement or if future-proofing is worth the extra costs.

Once the tests are finished, their results are automatically uploaded to GeekBench Browser’s easily accessible global database, thus contributing to what has become a standard in terms of measuring the performance of consumer-grade hardware. Companies with Non-Disclosure Agreements or individuals who try to be mindful of their privacy can opt for the program’s Pro version, which lets you choose whether the results become a part of the online database.

If you want to find out if it is worth upgrading your current set of components to their latest variants, then GeekBench’s tried-and-tested industry-leading standard in performance tests and ever-expanding online database may be the right solution for your use-case.
