Summary

  • Geekbench 7 is now available, with Primate Labs saying the new release better measures CPU and GPU performance in everyday tasks, gaming and AI workloads.
  • New tests put more weight on machine learning and content creation, including face tracking, image upscaling, background blurring, RAW processing, path tracing and fluid simulation.
  • Nvidia CUDA joins OpenCL, Vulkan and Metal in the supported GPU APIs, expanding the benchmark’s coverage of modern graphics and compute platforms.
  • Multi-core scoring now runs workloads across multiple threads only when real-world tasks typically do, while media tests add AV1 screen-sharing, Opus audio compression and Whisper-based live captions.
  • Primate Labs said broader datasets and updated assets across file compression, PDF viewing and image-processing tests aim to reflect how devices are used in 2026; Geekbench 7 Pro is 20% off through August 6.
