multicore loading
Does the benchmark put a load on all processors and all cores in a tested system? It looks like the benchmark itself is recording how many processors and cores are being loaded? I'm trying to figure out if a score represents what the total machine can do or does it represent what only a single core can do?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your message. Geekbench runs both single-threaded and multi-threaded tests. Single-threaded tests measure how a single processor core performs while multi-threaded tests measure how all of the cores perform. The overall Geekbench score is an average of these single-threaded and multi-threaded tests (the idea being that not every application is multi-threaded, so single-core performance is still important!).
Cheers,
John
