The combined SIG-Computing/SIG-Linux topic will be: “Geekbench and Phoronix” presented by Sharan Kalwani.
In the July 2024 SIG-Linux meeting, we evaluated the performance of different Linux distros on similar hardware. Three of the utilities mentioned were: Hardinfo, Geekbench and Phoronix Test Suite. There are many others, but two of these are available in both Linux and Windows versions. In this talk we will look at Geekbench and Phoronix. We will explore what these utilities help test and measure and see if they reflect many of the common tasks we do so that we can end up with both decent performing and good budget choices for a new computer.
