Geekbench CPU Benchmark
The Geekbench test measures how fast the server's CPU can perform a wide range of common computing tasks. It runs a set of workloads — such as data compression, image processing, encryption, machine learning, and physics simulations — and converts the results into numerical performance scores. YABS shows these scores in two categories:
-
Single-Core Score – how powerful one CPU core is when working alone. This is important for tasks that cannot be split efficiently across multiple cores, such as many web applications, databases with limited parallelism, or older software.
-
Multi-Core Score – the combined performance of all available cores working together. This better reflects workloads that scale well across threads, such as video encoding, scientific computation, or heavy parallel processing.
By default, YABS uses Geekbench 6, the latest version of the benchmark. Earlier versions (Geekbench 4 and Geekbench 5) are still supported for compatibility and may be used if you request them or if the environment cannot run v6. Scores from different major versions are not directly comparable, since each version updates the test set and scoring scale. When you compare results, make sure you're looking at the same Geekbench version.
Each YABS run lists the single-core and multi-core scores in a simple table. If the test was successfully submitted to the public Geekbench Browser, a Full Test link appears as well. That link takes you to the detailed online report, where you can see per-task sub-scores, CPU model detection, memory details, and other system info.
How to interpret scores:
- Higher numbers mean better performance.
- Single-core scores above ~1000 (Geekbench 6) usually indicate modern CPU cores; scores well below that may feel sluggish for many tasks.
- Multi-core scores scale with core count but also depend on clock speed, architecture, and how well the CPU sustains boost frequencies.
In short, the Geekbench section lets you quickly judge both per-core speed and total CPU capacity, and provides a link to the full official benchmark if you want deeper technical detail.
Notes
Geekbench keeps a live chart of CPU benchmark scores submitted by users, covering most current processors. It's a good way to see how your system's score compares against popular chips and find a rough performance tier.
