PC Perspective did a similar comparison both versions of the benchmark on a pair Intel and AMD-based PCs and the differences are rather drastic — showing a much higher relative performance of the Intel-based platforms than the AMD platforms.
While there does seem to be some significant improvements in Geekbench 5, it appears to be less of system-level benchmark than before and even appears to have added some biases that did not exist in previous versions. Tirias Research would still recommend using it as part of a suite of benchmarks, but we have some concerns about the overall value of the new benchmark and recommend questioning anyone just quoting the Geekbench 5 scores.
