Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The single-core benchmark only evaluates the performance of the fastest CPU core, the number of CPU cores in a processor is irrelevant here.

The theoretical computing performance of the internal graphics unit of the processor with simple accuracy (32 bit) in GFLOPS. GFLOPS indicates how many billion floating point operations the iGPU can perform per second.
In the Blender Benchmark 3.1, the scenes "monster", "junkshop" and "classroom" are rendered and the time required by the system is measured. In our benchmark we test the CPU and not the graphics card. Blender 3.1 was presented as a standalone version in March 2022.
Some of the CPUs listed below have been benchmarked by CPU-monkey. However the majority of CPUs have not been tested and the results have been estimated by a CPU-monkey’s secret proprietary formula. As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd.
The CPU-Z benchmark measures a processor's performance by measuring the time it takes the system to complete all benchmark calculations. The faster the benchmark is completed, the higher the score.

Blender is a free 3D graphics software for rendering (creating) 3D bodies, which can also be textured and animated in the software. The Blender benchmark creates predefined scenes and measures the time (s) required for the entire scene. The shorter the time required, the better. We selected bmw27 as the benchmark scene.

This comparison is about 2 processors from the mobile sector. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U was launched in the first quarter of 2021 and is manufactured using the 7-nanometer process. It comes from the fourth generation of mobile AMD Ryzen 5 processors and is based on the Lucienne architecture (Zen 2). The Intel Core i3-1115G4 was introduced in the third quarter of 2020 and is therefore about half a year older. It is manufactured using the 10-nanometer process and comes from the eleventh generation of the mobile Intel Core i3 series.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U is a 6-core processor that supports Hyperthreading technology, giving it 12 logical cores (threads). The Intel Core i3-1115G4 only has 2 physical cores, but also supports Hyperthreading, which means that it has a maximum of 4 computing threads. The 6 cores of the AMD processor clock at up to 4.00 gigahertz, the Intel processor clocks a little higher at up to 4.10. Since these are mobile processors, as mentioned at the beginning, there is no free multiplier, so the CPUs cannot be overclocked.
An internal graphics unit is integrated in both processors for this purpose. The AMD Radeon 7 Graphics (Renoir) is used in the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U. This graphics unit has a fixed clock frequency of 1.80 gigahertz and has 7 execution units with 448 shaders. The iGPU, manufactured using the 7-nanometer process, achieves an FP32 computing performance (single precision) of 1612 GigaFLOPS. The Intel UHD Graphics (Tiger Lake G4) is integrated in the Intel Core i3-1115G4. This graphics unit clocks at up to 1.25 gigahertz and has 48 execution units with 384 shaders. The iGPU, which is manufactured using the 10-nanometer process, achieves an FP32 computing power (single precision) of 960 GigaFLOPS and is therefore significantly slower.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U supports up to 32 GB of DDR4-3200 memory. With the Intel Core i3-1115G4, 64 GB of DDR4-3200 or LPDDR4X 3733 RAM can be operated.
