Your Geekbench 4 results

To my surprise, a search didn't bring up a Geekbench 4 results thread, so with a new and exciting CPU launch almost upon us, I thought it could be a fun thread for people to post their Geekbench 4 results for everyone to see, and once the Ryzen 3000 series is out, the results will be really interesting.

As far as I know, Geekbench 4 doesn't favour one CPU maker over the other(if I am wrong about this, I'm sure you will let me know :p).

I've only chosen Geekbench 4 as it is very easy to run, doesn't take long and gives both Single Core and Multi-core results in one go. You can download the free version here.

As this is not meant to be a super serious thread, I'm not recommending people go to extraordinary lengths to provide screenshots of system settings, but of course feel free to do so anyway.

In my next post where I provide my results, I'll demonstrate the modest lengths I'm going to.:)

Windows 10 is updated to the latest version, so I presume all security patches have been applied and I have not bothered to seek out any Bios updates, if they even exist for my motherboard and/or CPU.

My Ivy Bridge i5 3570K is overclocked to 4.0Ghz

Single Core = 4141

Multi Core = 12529

Not wanting to threadcrap but does geekbench test desktop CPUs properly. Last time I used it it hardly stressed my CPU at all. The single threaded test showed hardly any change from idle usage and the multithreaded just gave few spikes up to about 60% usage but not fully stressing the CPU.

I stresses the CPU for sure, biut it does pause the test peridically in order to not throttle the CPU. So you probably checked the CPU load with an application that average the load during a certain time.

I rarely saw 100% usage., I think the test is very flawed.

The most likely reason for that is not that the test is flawed, but rather that the load is bursty enough that it's not detected as 100% due to the sampling period used when measuring the CPU load. The main problem with short tests like these is that they usually don't uncover thermal throttling, but that mainly applies to low-power platforms.

I was just watching the graph in the windows task manager thing.
Surely to actually test the CPU you'd need to give it a task that wasnt momentary?

Depends on what you're trying to measure. Even a comparatively short load will be sufficient to establish a meaningful result, as long as the CPU has spun up to its expected working frequency. You obviously need to be aware of the fact that the CPU will run mainly at max turbo frequencies in a test like this, so it might not be the best idea for establishing performance for long-running tasks.

But am I likely to notice a difference in the tasks that Geekbench is measuring in the real world? If they are that short anyway I'm not going to notice if one is a fraction of a second faster than another as opposed to waiting for a video to encode.

Yes, a lot of the workloads that are tested are of the type that scale. So, even if Geekbench just runs them for a short time, they may run a good deal longer when used in practice (e.g. compression, compilation, etc.). There's also the fact that Geekbench 4 gives a composite score that probably does at least a reasonable job of characterizing the general performance of a CPU. However, as always, if you're interested in a very particular use case, you need to test that (exact) use case.

Well, I am not going to signup to publish, but here is my Result, 2970wx, win 10 latest patches@stock:
Single 4468 Multi 31911

Yeah, I agree that geekbench is not the best. It also seems to over-exaggerate SIMD performance.

Here is the result of a 16-core Zen 2 3950X engineering sample running at 4.3 Ghz(hat tip to @exquisitechar) compared to @Markfw 2970wx running at 4.2Ghz:

http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/13495867?baseline=13496396

Single 5868 Multi 61072.

Now obviously the 16 core zen 2 is good, but I don't think it's that good. IMO not enough to justify 2x multi-threaded the score of a 24 Core Zen+ threadripper.

I'm not sure that 2970WX score is even correct.

Check the 2600X score against it and there is no way that it is reporting the multi-core score correctly.

edit: it certainly isn't an all-core 4.2GHz score, and it's base is just 2GHz.

multi results on geekbench are not reliable with node interleaving off vs. on (at least on my 48 core Opteron). 2x difference in performance results.

My 2970wx is stock. I wonder if some of the results over overclocked and stuck ? when I get my 2990wx up, and OC'ed maybe we can see.

I think, that you should at least list the individual integer and floating point scores instead of the overall scores, because they are quite skewed due to memory and krypto/hash performance. This statement holds in particular for newer CPUs, which have significantly enhanced crypro scores due to additional fixed funtion HW units.
