Primate Labs has released Geekbench 7, the newest iteration of its widely used benchmarking software. This version incorporates novel tests for video and audio encoding, alongside a re-engineered multi-core performance assessment.
Geekbench 7 employs more substantial datasets to better emulate the intense requirements of today's applications on hardware. The new audio and video tests specifically include support for AV1 and Opus codecs, reflecting workloads like video conferencing and content streaming.
The multi-core benchmarks are designed to mirror real-world software behavior more closely. The Pro license for Geekbench 7 is priced at $99, with an introductory offer reducing it to $79 until August 6th. This license permits offline benchmarking without uploading results to the public browser and remains compatible across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.
