Summary
Honor Magic8 Pro moved to the top of Geekbench 7’s multi-core smartphone rankings, while Apple’s latest iPhones still led the new benchmark’s single-core results.
Primate Labs redesigned Geekbench 7 to better mirror real-world use, limiting multi-core scaling to workloads that actually benefit from multithreading and adding heavier AV1, Opus, Whisper, gaming, imaging and AI tests.
The benchmark now uses larger, more demanding datasets and keeps CPU scores normalized to a 2,500-point reference, making results more reflective of modern apps across phones, tablets and computers.
Geekbench 7 scores are not directly comparable with Geekbench 6 because workloads, procedures and the reference base changed, shifting some devices’ relative positions in the rankings.
