Geekbench is a well-established multi-platform benchmarking tool that is designed to be easily comparable from processor to processor, test to test.
Geekbench tests CPU power, speed and capabilities however it expands on this for situational tests like video editing and gaming.
Geekbench can be seen as a “boring” benchmark overall. It doesn’t show IO speed, read & write and global network speeds. However, it’s testing on the CPU is very comprehensive and the output to a webpage is a nice addition.
