Hi,

I've been getting low scores on my Macbook Pro retina 2.8ghz. It's only going for 11988 on 32-bit and 13346 on 64-bit.
Could that be a problem with my computer? Is there a certain procedure on how to run Geekbench 3 accurately? I closed all the programs
when I ran the tests.

   Those scores sound reasonable for your system. For example, here are 32-bit Geekbench 3 results for systems that are similar to your system.

   But my computer is the 2.8ghz version, early 2013 retina. According to your chart, it should be running around 12300 on 32-bit, and 13600 on 64-bit:

   Could there be a problem with my machine?

   The Mac Benchmark chart currently only shows Geekbench 2 results. Geekbench 2 and Geekbench 3 results aren't comparable. We hope to have an updated chart available that includes Geekbench 3 results over the next couple of weeks.

   Maybe I'm reading the comparison charts wrong... but are these scores low for my system specs?

   GEEKBENCH 3 SCORES:
   Single Core - 2050
   Multi Core - 6234

   System Specs:
   i5 760 @2.80GHz
   Family: 6 Model: E Stepping: 5
   Core Speed: 2946.3MHz
   Multiplier x 21.0
   Bus Speed 140.3 MHz
   QPI Link 2525MHz

   (Let me know if you need any other info)
   Are these scores normal for my system?
   Thank you so much for the help!

   -Mark
