What is Geekbench and how does it rate processors?
Geekbench is a processor benchmarking platform that ranks chipsets based on their multi-core and single-core performances. While evaluating multi-core performances, the platform runs a set of instructions simultaneously per core, to generate an aggregate result. The same process is repeated to calculate single-core scores. The faster a processor carries out the instructions, the higher is its score on Geekbench.
