AnTuTu benchmark: what is it and what is it for?

It is likely that when viewing the technical characteristics of a mobile phone, especially on specialized portals such as GSMArenalook for the AnTuTu or GeekBench setting followed by a number in the order of millions and thousands respectively. But what is the AnTuTu benchmark and what is it for? What is GeekBench and what is it for?

What do AnTuTu and GeekBench tests measure?

Roughly speaking, AnTuTu and GeekBench tests are standardized procedures designed to broadly measure the performance of the CPU, GPU and memory of a mobile phone or tablet.

For example, the AnTuTu test measures five parameters, all of which are related to the performance of a computer’s CPU, GPU, and memory. These are the following:

• User experience: This area measures the time it takes for the device to open apps, its behavior when using multiple apps at the same time, and the responsiveness of the user interface.
• 3D Modeling: This item evaluates the device’s performance when running 3D graphics and creating images from polygons. This aspect is key in video games.
• Database processing. This test measures the device’s performance when running database-intensive operations that can pose a significant load in multitasking situations.
• Network performance: This item evaluates the device’s performance when using cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
• System Stability: This test evaluates how stable the user experience remains in high-stress situations.

How to interpret AnTuTu test results?

Simply put, a higher number means a better result. Don’t forget that the number you see in the technical specifications will always be Total score (total score), however, if you decide to take the test yourself or view ratings on the AnTuTu page You’ll find CPU, GPU, memory, and UI scores.

If you’re interested, we encourage you to browse through the different categories. We find the SoC very impressive (System on a chip), indicating the most powerful chipset (CPU+GPU) available today. Surprisingly, The most powerful at the time of writing is Dimensity 9300+ from MediaTek..

How to interpret GeekBench test results?

The GeekBench test is very similar to the AnTuTu test, however it only analyzes the performance of the processor, checking how it behaves when using one or more cores. Numbers around 10 thousand are used for scoring; For example, in the test multi-core places Galaxy S24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor at the topwith a result of 6744.

The good thing about GeekBench is that in addition to analyzing the processor performance of various mobile phones, you can also find ratings for computers and tablets.
