Geekbench is a popular tool for evaluating hardware performance. It provides a detailed view of your CPU's performance under different workloads. This is useful for:
Evaluating hardware performance
Not altering the existing Operating System
Portability, Ease of Use, and a Clean Testing Environment
Performing a benchmark with Geekbench from an Ubuntu Live USB is a relatively simple process. Here are the steps:
Requirements:
An Ubuntu Live USB: You can create one using tools like Rufus, UNetbootin, or follow our Ventoy (the easiest method).You can download the latest Ubuntu ISO
from here
.Internet connection.
Note: For the best results, make sure you are in the appropriate performance mode. You can change this from the BIOS [F2]. Also, connect the charger to the power supply.
Steps:
Access from Live USB [F7] or [F10].
Once you have booted into the Ubuntu Live environment, open Firefox and download Geekbench for Linux directly from the official
Geekbench website.
Extract the downloaded file by right-clicking.
Navigate to the extracted folder and open a terminal by right-clicking in a empty space.
Once the terminal is open, run the following command:
sudo ./geekbench_x86_64
Wait for it to finish; it may take several minutes. Once completed, it will provide a link to open in the browser. Copy the link and paste it into Firefox.
The result will appear on the Geekbench website. The following result is from an Executive 14 12700H.
Keep in mind that performance may vary depending on:
Whether you have enabled performance mode.
Ambient temperature.
Whether the test was performed on battery power or with the charger plugged in.
Whether the Slimbook's RAM is configured in DualChannel or SingleChannel.
Whether the thermal paste has been changed recently.
Obstructions in the fan.
Etc.
