Great to compare your machine with others.
The price is a bit steep though.

Ummm, $13 is steep? I have to disagree. I think it's quite reasonable.

I think the use of Geekbench as a standard for CPU testing makes it absolutely worth my hard-earned cash.

Good metrics, great benchmarking. Essential tool if you do any overclocking.

I just love benchmarking. It is cool to compare with others on-line.
Price is a bit high imo

I thought this would be a good idea. However, once you use it once...what good would the app be to use later? Plus, the numbers generated are too abstract to have any usefulness. Too complicated for someone like my wife or kids to use.

you are 100% correct! after 1 use,especially on a maxed out iMac(16 gigs ram,2 gig 6970m gnu,quad core i7 3.4 ghz) there would be absolutely no reason to run this app again. especially if you just youtube a video of someone else running geek bench with the same specs as your iMac. ignore the haters that gave you 4 frown symbols on macupdate,they do it to me also when i am right about my comments 100% of the time. these people are mostly morons who know nothing about macs and actually pay for the software they use! hahaha

Acuraice, are you implying you don't pay for the software you use?

Pandaiger replied on 03 Nov 2011

Acura... if nobody paid for software... there wouldn't be a reason for there to be all of this software. Yes, pirating is your choice, but because there are people that actually pay... is the reason most of this software exists for you to pirate in the first place. So despite your ridiculous comments, if it wasn't for paying customers, you wouldn't have anything to steal.

I believe in paying others for their work as much as I believe in my getting paid for my work. Stealing isn't cute or commendable, and it's certainly not something to brag about.

How is watching someone use software on YouTube pirating? I think GeekBench's price is a tad steep too.

Oh my apologies, I missed Acuraice's last sentence.

This could really use the Sparkle framework for update checking and self-updating.

I'm getting a message at launch saying the 2.2.0b1 build is already expired, though it was just posted here yesterday. I don't see a link at the developer's website for downloading any beta versions, so I can't try the latest version.

We've had a few users complain about the build appearing as expired. Could you send an email to geekbench22beta@primatelabs.ca and we'll help you work through it?

Actually fun to play with. Comparing is always fun. :)

But paying for an benchmark tool?

Purchased this on MacUpdate promo - no my serial is no longer valid... this is the last PROMO item I buy. This update is supposed to be free to all registered users.... expect those who bought the promo that is.

This should not be the case as everything we sell through Promo should be identical to if you had paid full price.

I just emailed the developer. Have you been in touch with them? I didn't see any emails from you to our support team.

Mredrup replied on 09 Nov 2010

I stand corrected, the dev team made good and corrected my serial number. I would like to thank them for their help.

So glad to hear that -- in the future feel free to email support@ and we'll be happy to go to bat for you. We want to make sure our customers are always satisfied!

L0xby had trouble on 08 Sep 2011

is it normal for the 64-bit test in 2.2.0 to be 4-5% lower than what's reported in 2.1.13? i've run both versions several times back to back and the 2.2.0 score is consistently lower.
