Geekbench 6
Geekbench 6 is a macOS benchmarking utility that measures CPU and GPU performance and lets you compare results across devices.
What is Geekbench 6?
Geekbench 6 is a benchmarking utility for macOS that helps users measure and compare CPU and GPU performance. It is designed for people who want a quick, repeatable way to test a Mac, whether they are checking a new purchase, comparing hardware upgrades, troubleshooting slowdowns, or sharing benchmark results with others. The app runs performance tests based on real-world style workloads and presents the results as clear numeric scores that are easy to compare. Geekbench 6 also supports result sharing through Geekbench Browser, which is useful for side-by-side comparisons with other Macs and supported devices. Advanced users, reviewers, developers, and IT teams often use it to evaluate system performance without building their own test suites. Published by Primate Labs Inc., it is a focused utility rather than a general system monitor or repair tool.
Key features
- Run CPU benchmarks to measure overall processor performance
- Run GPU benchmarks to evaluate graphics and compute performance
- Compare results using simple benchmark scores
- Upload and share benchmark results through Geekbench Browser
- Test performance with workloads based on common real-world tasks
- Use the app for hardware comparisons, upgrade checks, and troubleshooting

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Geekbench 6 is legitimate benchmarking software used to test system performance. It may upload benchmark results if you choose to share them, so review what you publish if your device details matter to you. Diagnostic and performance-related data handling is normal for this type of tool, and removing the app simply prevents you from using its benchmarks and saved results on that Mac.
Recommendation: Keep Geekbench 6 if you use it to compare Macs, test upgrades, or check performance over time. If you no longer run benchmarks, you can remove it without affecting normal macOS operation.
