Primate Labs releases Geekbench 6.4
Benchmarking software Geekbench has been up to date to model 6.4, seeing added help for RISC-V Vector Extensions and Arm Scalable Matrix Extensions.
Geekbench is a highly-used benchmark software, offering fast methods to check the efficiency between similar-specification units. On Tuesday, the app was up to date by Primate Labs to model 6.4.
The replace introduces help for RISC-V Vector Extensions, boosting the efficiency of workloads that leverage SIMD directions when run on RISC-V CPUs that implement RVV.
It additionally improves help for ARM Scalable Matrix Extensions (SME). In Geekbench 6.3, SME help required CPUs to implement each SME and SME2 directions. With Geekbench 6.4, SME help now requires CPUs to both implement SME directions or implement SME and SME2 directions, which improves compatibility and efficiency for upcoming CPU releases.
Geekbench 6.4 now additionally reviews the instruction set extensions detected and utilized through the CPU Benchmark. These reviews provide priceless insights into the instruction units Geekbench employs throughout efficiency measurement.
CPU expertise can be improved, notably enhancing detection on Linux programs with ARM and RISC-V processors.
Whereas Geekbench says Geekbench 6.4 scores are comparable with Geekbench 6.3 scores, it nonetheless recommends that anybody utilizing Geekbench 6 replace to the most recent model. Geekbench is accessible for macOS, Home windows, Linux, iOS/iPadOS and Android.
