It’s a benchmark with fancy graphics. That’s what was requested. 🤷♂️
Got a tip for us?

except for Final Cut Pro. I bought that one in my last year of university 15 years ago and still get updates. Lol.

If I follow the article link to the developer's website, then tap on download now, I end up on the Geekbench 6 app page.
Ridiculous.

I've only used the free one and take the results with grains of salt every time

yea I don't see the reason to buy the pro version for the average user.I've only used the free one and take the results with grains of salt every time
3DMark has modern GPU benchmark tools with fancy graphics even for Mac.

I guess all the scores have to be reset, and we can’t compare GeekBench 6 scores with GeekBench 7 scores, right?
Even so, this is a much welcomed update, with chips more and more focused on local AI, graphics and video encoding/decoding. Hopefully it will stay as the reference benchmark for a few years (including the M6 and M7 generations), so that we can see the huge improvements that come with the new chips and we feel the need to replace our Mac lol
I’m really curious about the M6 performance gains, or maybe the M6 is mostly about efficiency, lowering power consumption and heat generation.
The M7 is going to be a whole different beast, according to rumors.

Comparing GB6 and GB7 scores on the same device, with GB7 my single core went down (3784 vs 3200 now) but multicore went up (23258 vs 26365 now).

Very cool to see the generational improvements!
Looks like Geekbench 7 Browser has also been updated to reflect results from v7: https://browser.geekbench.com/
Note that Geekbench 7 is setting the Baseline Score of 2,500 points to reference the AMD Ryzen 7 7700. Geekbench 6's reference baseline was Intel Core i7-12700.

Geekbench 7 is now is the iOS store but not searchable for some reason. I found it when I tapped on Geekbench 6 and scrolled down and saw “More from Primate Labs” and it listed.
I ran CPU and GPU on Geek Bench 6 and Geek Bench 7 for my A19 Pro iPhone 17 Pro Max. So why would the scores vary so much with back to back testing?

Thanks for the tip on how to download GB7 on the App Store. My scores varied between the two versions also. My scores were lower on GB7 by a similar amount

Fascinating to me that my GB7 results for Metal GPU are closer to a 10% improvement M4 to M5 rather than the over 40% that GB6 shows (my M1Max scores are off by about 1% GB7 to GB6, my M2Pro by about 8% and M5 26%). That strikes me as… unlikely. Geekbench has always been accused of a Windows bias in results (whether fairly or not is beyond me) but this looks like a complete absence of accounting for improvements that can be seen in actual applications running on the M5 chips.
