Geekbench 7 将对您的电脑或手机进行更严苛的压力测试，以实现更精准的基准评估
Primate Labs is releasing Geekbench 7, the latest generation of its popular benchmarking tool. Geekbench 7 features new video and audio encoding / decoding tests, a redesigned multi-core test, and larger, more demanding datasets for CPUs and GPUs to crunch through. It otherwise looks and acts just like Geekbench 6, and a Pro license will cost the same $99 (discounted to $79 until August 6th).
Primate Labs 正式发布了其广受欢迎的基准测试工具的最新一代产品——Geekbench 7。Geekbench 7 引入了全新的视频和音频编码/解码测试、重新设计的多核测试，以及更大、更具挑战性的数据集，旨在进一步压榨 CPU 和 GPU 的性能。在外观和操作逻辑上，它与 Geekbench 6 保持一致；Pro 版本的授权费用仍为 99 美元（8 月 6 日前优惠价为 79 美元）。
A Geekbench 7 Pro license allows for offline benchmarking that doesn’t get uploaded to the Geekbench Browser, and it still covers all compatible desktop platforms of Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Geekbench 7 Pro 授权允许用户进行离线基准测试，测试结果不会上传至 Geekbench Browser。该版本依然全面支持 Windows、macOS 和 Linux 等主流桌面平台。
Geekbench is one of the mainstay synthetic benchmarks we use in reviewing laptops here at The Verge. I’ve always liked how simple and fast Geekbench is to run, but its short duration also means it’s a better test of quick bursts of computing rather than sustained loads that can throttle some CPUs and GPUs. (One of its tests involves rendering a 1.5MB PDF file, which must be near-instantaneous for most modern chips.)
Geekbench 是我们在 The Verge 评测笔记本电脑时使用的核心合成基准测试工具之一。我一直很欣赏它简单快捷的运行方式，但由于测试时间较短，它更适合衡量瞬时爆发性能，而非那些会导致 CPU 和 GPU 降频的持续高负载场景。（例如，它的一项测试是渲染一个 1.5MB 的 PDF 文件，这对大多数现代芯片来说几乎是瞬间完成的。）
Primate Labs claims Geekbench 7 uses “more demanding data sets to more accurately capture the hardware demands of modern applications.” The new audio / video tests also now include AV1, Opus, model video conferencing, streaming, and content consumption workloads. And multi-core benchmarks are designed to better reflect real software behavior since the new workloads will only run multi-threaded when the modeled tasks run that way.
Primate Labs 声称，Geekbench 7 使用了“要求更高的数据集，以更准确地捕捉现代应用程序对硬件的需求”。新增的音视频测试现在涵盖了 AV1、Opus、模拟视频会议、流媒体以及内容消费等工作负载。此外，多核基准测试经过重新设计，能更好地反映真实软件的行为，因为新的工作负载仅在模拟任务本身支持多线程时才会调用多线程处理。
These all sound like marked improvements, even if Geekbench 7 tests still only take a few minutes to run. Scores from Geekbench 6 are of course not compatible with Geekbench 7. So if you’re the testing type, feel free to spiritually join me in a whole bunch of new benchmark testing and retesting. Always be testing.
尽管 Geekbench 7 的测试过程依然只需几分钟，但这些改进听起来非常显著。当然，Geekbench 6 的分数无法与 Geekbench 7 兼容。所以，如果你也是个“测试狂”，欢迎在精神上加入我的行列，一起投入到新一轮的基准测试与重测中去。生命不息，测试不止。
