<p>Thanks for your message. This is a known bug in Geekbench where
Geekbench misreports processor cache information on Sandy Bridge
processors. This bug has been fixed; you can try out the fix in the
latest Geekbench 2.2 Beta, or you can wait for the next official
release which should be out soon.</p>
<p>You can download the latest Geekbench 2.2 Beta from the
following location:</p>

don't have a license key. I bought it from the Apple Store. Is
there anyway to get it to recognize that I've purchased it?</p>

<p>You're welcome. I'm hoping to implement a solution where Mac App
Store customers can use Geekbench from the Primate Labs website
without needing a separate license key, but for now the separate
license key will have to suffice.</p>
<p>If you ever have any other problems or questions about Geekbench
let me know and I'd be happy to help out.</p>
<p>Best,<br>

<p>You can download Geekbench 2.2 for Linux from the following
location:</p>
<p><a href=
"http://s3.amazonaws.com/geekbench/Geekbench-2.2.0-Linux.tar.gz">http://s3.amazonaws.com/geekbench/Geekbench-2.2.0-Linux.tar.gz</a></p>
<p>Geekbench 2.2 should have no problems correctly detecting your
system's cache. Please let me know if this is not the case.</p>

<p>I had already downloaded 2.2 when it became available on the web
site. This was my result -:</p>
<p><a href=
"http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/478590">http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/478590</a></p>
<p>I now have cache information but the CPU, memory and FSB
frequencies are missing.</p>
<p>Best Regards,</p>

<p>It looks like your processor core count is incorrect, too. Could
you send me the contents of /proc/cpuinfo for your system? That's
where Geekbench gets a lot of its system information, and I'm
wondering if there's something unexpected in that file that's
throwing Geekbench off.</p>
<p>Also, what distribution are you using?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
John</p></div>Johntag:support.primatelabs.com,2011-01-31:Comment/92343802011-09-15T21:30:26Z2011-09-15T21:30:26ZGeekbench not showing correct processor cache information.<div><p>Hi John,</p>
<p>Cpuinfo file attached.</p>
<p>We are running Redhat Enterprise Linux Server 6.1.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

differences Geekbench isn't expecting, hence the missing (or
incorrect) system information. I'll fix the problems in Geekbench
for an upcoming release.</p>

<p>Would there be any influence on that actual benchmark numbers
?</p>
