What does it measure?
The front page states: Geekbench provides a comprehensive set of benchmarks engineered to quickly and accurately measure processor and memory performance..."
So it seems to me, that"
This is a test of base hardware and would have LITTLE to do with
performance of a particular OS. Therefore, while a useful
guideline, especially in comparing different machines with the same
OS, it has little relevance across OSs since it masks the relative
efficiencies/inefficiencies of the systems.
Is that a correct statement?

I would appreciate a definitive answer.
Thank you!

From the operating system you're running, to the compiler developers use to build applications, software can have a significant impact on the performance of your computer. Geekbench measures the performance of the entire system, including the operating system, and not just the performance of the underlying hardware.
