Why do you say that? GB seems like a relatively balanced benchmark.
I also like Cinebench, but I find it’s better for specific use cases. I have my own DIY CPU gaming benchmark via running an old single thread game (Cities in Motion 1) with free look and custom map size that stretches the limits of the engine, but that a personal thing.
Geekbench is mostly a mobile CPU bench, barely stresses cache and doesn’t scale well with nT. It tells you how good your CPU is at opening firefox or Safari.
If geekbench were a good representation of 1T, just using gaming as an example, the 9950x3D or 9800x3D would be absolutely top dog. Geekbench measures 1T execution, which already strongly benefits Apple SoCs in the score because of the on chip RAM. Furthermore, it barely scratches the limite of L2 and L3 caches of modern processors, so, like I mentioned before, it’s pretty useless if you want to measure anything beyond how fast firefox starts from a clean user session.

For multi-core I would agree, but it seems like a viable benchmark. ST is critical for things like day-to-day application use, gaming and so on…
