SSD Dropped my Geekbench mark?

[Chiuy]

Does the SSD have any effect on the Geekbench mark?
I originally had 5928 on my MBP with my standard HDD (stock) and with the new SSD, I have 5792.

From the Geekbench web site:

"Geekbench provides a comprehensive set of benchmarks engineered to quickly and accurately measure processor and memory performance."

Thanks.
Then I wonder what dropped my benchmark score then... 😕

run it in a week or so. your OS is probably adjusting to the new drive. caching and indexing can slow down your processor a bit. that is probably it.

or some background process did utilize some of the CPU power this time around.
