Question(s)

I own GeekBench 2 and like it. Not sure I like the way GeekBench 3's numbers are calibrated, for 64 multicore. Is there a sort of reset / recalibration with GeekBench 3?

And... For some reason I can not get GeekBench 2 to work via the command line, (not sure if 3 offers command line, don't see it).

We are only interested in muiticore 64 bit, testing, that is why I have paid license. Version 3 is a paid upgrade?

thanks,

    Hi John,

    Thank you for your message. Geekbench 3 scores use a dual-core Mac mini as the baseline system. There is no way to re-calibrate the scores against a different baseline system.

    What error are you seeing when trying to use Geekbench 2 from the command line? Geekbench 3 Pro offers command line tools as well.

    Geekbench 3 is a paid upgrade from Geekbench 2.

    Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be happy to help out.

    Best,
    John
