Because Geekbench 6 Metal GPU scores are in the hundreds of thousands, they can overwhelm CPU scores when combined (added up) with single-core and multi-core results. After analyzing the data with ChatGPT, we found that dividing the Metal score by 7.3 brings it into a comparable range/scale with CPU scores.
The Normalized Geekbench Score (NGS) combines all three metrics—single-core CPU, multi-core CPU, and adjusted GPU Metal score—into a single number, providing a balanced indicator of overall system performance.
NGS will be our v1.0 Composite Score.In the future, in v1.1+, we plan to incorporate Speedometer, Disk I/O performance as well as AI-related benchmarks to further enhance our scoring system.
Our next immediate steps include refining the site’s purpose and determining how each Mac model delivers the best performance-for-value ratio.
We’d love to hear from you if you’d like contribute to a future formula for calculating the best possible overall Mac performance metric.
