Geekbench CEO: Geekbench 6 allow everyone to argue about performance on the Internet

Geekbench recently launched a new version of Geekbench 6. In fact, it is a controversial benchmark software in countries. Not only do people question its accuracy, but it also involves the question of what the benchmark or running software is meaningful to actual users. Recently, the developer of Geekbench, the founder and CEO of Primate Labs, John Poole, said that some comments on the Internet are still too extreme, and he always thinks that benchmarking is a very useful tool.

John Poole mentioned in an interview with Ars Technica that many users regard benchmarks as a diagnostic tool. He shared a case where his friend felt that his Mac was running slowly a few years ago. After running Geekbench, the score was half of the normal score. After sending the machine back to Apple for sale, it was disassembled and checked to find that the heat sink was half broken.

In terms of wider application, John Poole believes that benchmarks can also allow everyone to argue with their own computer performance online. Geekbench also does provide a huge data and cross-platform score library for everyone to search and query. In addition, the most important thing is that users can judge whether they need or need to upgrade the hardware based on the benchmark, how much improvement the new hardware can bring, etc. These questions can be answered by a set of numbers of benchmarks.
