    Geekbench 7 Resets Scores, Adds Native CUDA GPU Testing

    Geekbench 7 has arrived with a substantially redesigned CPU and GPU test suite, and one early Apple M5 Max result offers a useful first look at what the new scoring system rewards: fast interactive compute, media processing, creative workflows, and increasingly AI-adjacent tasks rather than pure...
