Geekbench Compute score, metal (GPU) over time
Geekbench Compute result for a named major version and graphics API. The API is part of the benchmark identity, because a Metal run and an OpenCL run execute different code against different drivers, and so is the version. It is a separate metric from the processor score rather than a variant of it: version 7 calibrates a compute result against a baseline of 100,000 and a processor result against 2,500, so the two are not one quantity even when one machine reports both.

Chart
5 figures from 5 machines, spanning 2020 to 2025. The lowest geekbench compute score here is 16 049 (Apple iPhone 12, 2020) and the highest is 54 482 (Apple Mac mini (M4, 2024), 2024). That is a range of about 3.4× within one comparability group; the figures are plotted in the base unit. Points use the release date of the machine the figure belongs to. The table below lists absent figures with their recorded reasons.

Why this chart holds one group only
Every point on a chart is implicitly compared with every other point on it. This chart uses one comparability group: one metric, one device scope, one method and one benchmark version. There is no chart of all clock frequencies over time because they are not one quantity.
Points use the release date of the machine a figure belongs to, including figures recorded against a part. A release date applies only to a machine that shipped. What this metric measures.
