Geekbench 2
The Easy Way to Measure System Performance
Whenever a new computer system makes its glorious debut, all of the tech magazines are quick to publish benchmark results, and people in bookstore cafes across the nation stare and drool at those colorful bar charts showing the system's performance in photo processing, number crunching, and the latest build of a game that no one plays anymore. But how can you tell how YOUR specific system measures up? By running Geekbench, obviously!
Geekbench provides a comprehensive set of benchmarks that give you an instant evaluation of your processor and memory performance. Easy to run and easy to understand, Geekbench is everything that you need to determine how obsolete your old system (or how outstandingly awesome your new system) truly is. It comes in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors, and is available for a variety of hardware platforms.
How many cores are you rocking? One? Two? Four? No matter what the number, Geekbench will handle benchmarking with ease and grace, since every processor benchmark is multi-threaded and multi-core aware. Plus, with One-Click Benchmark, you don't have to waste time adjusting settings to match some "standard" test system -- run it, and you're running Geekbench with the same parameters as all other Geekbench users! Want bragging rights? Use Geekbench, then upload your results to the Geekbench Result Browser! It's like drag racing, but without the risk of fiery death.
