<li>
<p>Please consider adding H.265/AV1 encoding/decoding benchmarks. I know GB is strictly closed source but I guess you can license these libraries. One caveat though: some of these encoders/decoders are not optimized for many-core CPUs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Spectre/Meltdown/etc. mitigations.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Please specify the <strong>exact</strong> version of the OS the test is running on. E.g. unpatched Windows and Windows with all HW vulnerabilities mitigations applied may show very different results.</p>
<p>For Linux that means showing the <strong>exact kernel version</strong>, e.g. <code>uname -r</code> <strong>and</strong> parsing the command line for the mitigation parameter, e.g.</p>
<p><code>cat /proc/cmdline | grep mitigations</code> or <code>grep . -r /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities</code> (don't know which one is easier to code for).</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Please, please, please <strong>compile all the binaries using the same compiler</strong>. Clang 8.0 supports pretty much everything under the Sun nowadays. GB4 shows <em>very</em> different results for different OSes on the same PC: <a href="http://support.primatelabs.com/discussions/geekbench/17050-linux-vs-windows-results">Linux vs Windows GB4</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Newer CPUs have instruction sets (e.g. AVX/AVX2) to accelerate certain workloads. Looks like you don't have any tests for that.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Nice to have:</p>
<ol>
<li>It would be great to have stress results (not included in the final scores), e.g. run a certain test for over 10 minutes and show its performance for the time span from 1 to 9 minutes (e.g. exclude the first and the last minutes).</li>

<p>Rationale: GB does <em>not</em> always correctly detects memory speeds (especially on Linux/Android/iOS) and these tests allow to see RAM performance and calculate RAM speeds.</p></div>Artem S. Tashkinovtag:support.primatelabs.com,2011-01-31:Comment/475457442019-08-27T12:49:20Z2019-08-27T12:49:21ZGeekbench 5 Beta<div><p>I've read your <a href="https://www.geekbench.com/doc/geekbench5-cpu-workloads.pdf">tech documentation</a> and it looks like you use LZMA only for compressing text. I guess text is a very specific use case for compression and it make sense to compress other data types, e.g. executables, HTML, images (BMP), audio (WAV), PDFs. A lot of other popular modern file formats are already compressed, so it doesn't make a lot of sense trying to compress them (docx/xlsx = zip, most audio/video codecs are already highly compressed, etc.)</p></div>Artem S.

<ul>
<li>using the same compiler (at the same version) on the most platforms possible</li>
<li>include mitigations enabled/disabled</li>
<li>include exact OS version</li>
</ul></div>b0btag:support.primatelabs.com,2011-01-31:Comment/475457442019-09-01T01:13:20Z2019-09-01T01:16:35ZGeekbench 5 Beta<div><p>Hi,<br>
I purchased a Geekbench 4 license a while ago but seems isn't valid for Geekbench 5 beta.. will Geekbench 5 require purchasing new licenses? can purchase any license now? any discount for Geekbench 4 owners?<br>
finally any news on Android and IOS Geekbench 5 beta?</p></div>rtfss1tag:support.primatelabs.com,2011-01-31:Comment/475457442019-09-03T12:21:11Z2019-09-03T12:21:12ZGeekbench 5 Beta<div><p>OS: Centos7.6 w last updates</p>
