What is Geekbench FOR LINUX?

Geekbench

Geekbench is a cool tool that helps you test how well your computer performs. It’s not something most people think about right away, but it can be super useful! You might want to check your system's performance before and after an upgrade or when adding new hardware. It’s like giving your computer a little health check.

What is Geekbench?

Now, Geekbench is in its sixth version (yep, version 6!). This cross-platform benchmarking tool measures your system's performance with just a click. You can use it on Linux (specifically Ubuntu and Debian-based distros), macOS, Windows, and even mobile platforms like iOS and Android!

How to Use Geekbench on Linux

If you're using Windows or macOS, you’re probably used to fancy interfaces. Unfortunately for us Linux fans, we have to run the app straight from the Terminal. But don’t worry; it’s not hard at all! Just pop open the Terminal, run the app, and most of it will happen automatically. Yes, it's a paid product (but there’s a Free version too!), so having a GUI would have been nice.

Awesome Features of Geekbench

Let’s dive into what makes Geekbench so great! One of its best features is measuring how powerful your processor is—both single-core and multi-core performance. This means you can see how your CPU handles different tasks like augmented reality and machine learning. It really gives you the scoop on what your system can do—or can't do!

GPU Benchmarks

The app also includes various GPU benchmarks. This is perfect for testing out how well your system performs in gaming, video editing, or image processing. It supports OpenCL, CUDA, Metal APIs and even Vulkan!

The Geekbench Browser

An exciting part of using Geekbench is the Geekbench Browser. Here you can see all your results online and share them with friends or coworkers!

Free vs Pro Versions

If you're wondering about the differences between Free and Pro versions: The Free version allows CPU Benchmarking, GPU Compute Benchmarking, plus saving results online via the Geekbench Browser.

The Pro version has everything in Free but adds Offline Results (save locally for more privacy), automation tools for testing flexibly through commands, and a Standalone Mode so you can run it from USB drives or network drives.

A Trusted Tool for Everyone

You know what? Geekbench has been around for over 15 years! While it might not be the flashiest tool out there, it's reliable and works well for both beginners and advanced users alike.
