A Samsung device with model number XE940XSA appeared on Geekbench, running Android 17 and a Snapdragon X Elite chip. While some outlets interpret this as Samsung’s first Googlebook, others argue it may be a separate Android-powered Galaxy Book. The device features 16GB of RAM and matches the hardware specs of current Googlebook models from Dell and HP.
A purported Geekbench result for an unreleased M6 Pro chip appears dubious due to internal inconsistencies flagged by Geekbench’s John Poole; Bloomberg had previously reported that Apple plans to skip the M6 Pro and M6 Max, suggesting the alleged score may not be legitimate.
Early Geekbench 7 GPU benchmarks show Apple’s M5 Ultra delivering a Metal score up to 366,744 (vs M3 Ultra’s 230,420) and the M6 reaching 93,217, with OpenCL scores roughly in line with NVIDIA’s RTX 4080; results indicate meaningful graphics performance gains ahead of the new Mac Studio and Mac mini, though real‑world results will vary.
Geekbench results for a 36-core M5 Ultra Mac Studio (256GB RAM) show 3,774 single-core and 52,516 multi-core, indicating a big leap over the M6 (4,071/22,783) and roughly six times better multi-core than the M1; Geekbench is a general reference, not real-world performance. The M5 Ultra starts at $5,499 (tested configuration $10,799), with shipments highly constrained and delivery windows from November 9 to January.
A new mid-range Sony Xperia 10 VIII has surfaced in a Geekbench listing, suggesting the device may use the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset (same as the Xperia 10 VII) and 8 GB of RAM across variants like XQ-GH54, while Sony has announced a global launch for August 25 at 02:00 UTC with pricing and full specs still undisclosed.
Early Geekbench results for the Pixel 11 Pro XL show a roughly 14% single‑core and 20% multi‑core uplift over the Pixel 10 Pro XL, thanks to the new Tensor G6 and Titan M3, but the Pixel still trails the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (about 3,082/10,381 in scores). The Pixel 11 line, including the non‑XL, shares core specs, and Google is targeting an August 20 launch with pre‑order promos like a $200 gift card for Pro models; as with all early benchmarks, take the numbers with caution until official reviews arrive.
Ahead of Google's Made by Google event, the Pixel 11 Pro XL surfaced on Geekbench with a Tensor G6 CPU (two cores at 2.65 GHz, four at 3.38 GHz, one at 4.11 GHz), 16GB of RAM, and Android 17, posting 2,112 single-core and 5,196 multi-core scores. Separate hands-on images show the Pixel 11 Pro in black and Dune packaging, hinting at a HiLight RGB LED on the rear camera bar and confirming color options Dune, Light Fog, Midnight Haze, and Pine.
Geekbench 7 debuts with a redesigned multi-core benchmark that better mirrors real-world multi-threaded workloads and a revamped GPU benchmark focused on machine-learning and content-creation tasks, including real-time video effects, image upscaling, LUT-based color grading, path tracing, and fluid simulations. It adds new tests for RAW image processing and supports broader image formats, while expanding media workloads (audio/video encoding/decoding, Whisper, AV1, Opus) and keeping CUDA, OpenCL, Vulkan, and Metal as APIs. Available on iOS, macOS, and other platforms, with a free personal-use tier and a Pro version discounted 20% through August 6.
AMD's Medusa Point Zen 6 10-core engineering sample posted 3,329 points in single‑core and 16,555 in multi‑core on Geekbench at 5.4 GHz, signaling a notable uplift over Zen 5 Strix Point and clocking up to 5.37 GHz; the sample previously outpaced Ryzen AI 9 365 by roughly 29% and is now about 35% faster in multi‑core, though early Geekbench data and engineering samples should be treated cautiously ahead of an official launch.
A Geekbench 6 benchmark leak for Valve’s Steam Machine (codenamed “Fremont”) shows a multicore score of 7,316 and a single-core score of 2,334, well behind an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H’s 16,104/2,868. No GPU results are published yet, but estimates place the GPU around RX 7600 level. Valve targets upscaled 4K gaming at 60 FPS with ray tracing and FSR support. The device is already in at least one reviewer’s hands, suggesting a launch could be earlier than expected.
Pre-release Geekbench entries for Valve’s Steam Machine (codename Fremont) hint at a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 CPU, 16GB RAM, and an RDNA 3 GPU, with scores suggesting a notable uplift over the Steam Deck; Valve has said launch is this summer and markets the device as about six times more powerful than the Deck, but these are early, unofficial benchmarks and should be treated cautiously until full reviews arrive.
Two Geekbench 6.7.1 results indicate Valve’s Steam Machine is in testers’ hands and running SteamOS, pointing to a launch likely at the start of Summer 2026. The AMD custom CPU (6 cores/12 threads at 4.86 GHz) shows strong single‑core performance, but overall performance will hinge on the GPU, with price rumors suggesting it could exceed the Steam Deck OLED.
Valve's Steam Machine reappears on Geekbench in two listings running SteamOS (instead of Windows 11 Pro) with an AMD CPU 1772, posting ~2,334/2,282 single-core and ~7,316/7,392 multi-core scores, fueling talk that reviews are underway as release and price rumors surface for later this month.
A European Xperia 1 VIII (model XQ-GE54) has surfaced on Geekbench with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Adreno 840 GPU, but appears to ship with 12GB RAM. Geekbench scores are around 2,325 (single-core) and 9,217 (multi-core). Sony hasn’t commented yet, though UK listings (sometimes bundled with WH-1000XM6 headphones) hint at a forthcoming launch but offer no official confirmation.
AMD’s Medusa Point APU (Zen 6) shows promising Geekbench v6 results with a 10-core/20-thread engineering sample delivering about 2,300 single-core and 13,002 multi-core scores at a base 2.4 GHz (actual ~2.0–2.1 GHz). Surprisingly, it matches a Strix Point APU running at more than double its clock speed, with slightly lower single-core but higher multicore performance. The data suggests IPC gains and possible FP16/AVX-VNNI acceleration, though final performance will depend on later benchmarks; official launch is expected around CES 2027.
