Details on Geekbench and the grading of CPU performance
Geekbench is a processor benchmarking platform that grades processors based on single-core or multi-core performances.
While evaluating multi-core scores, the platform runs multiple streams of instructions simultaneously per core to generate an aggregate result.
For single-core results, the same process is replicated. The faster a chipset fulfills the instructions, the higher is its score on Geekbench.
