Full Definition & Technical Explanation

Benchmarks run fixed workloads so results are comparable across devices. Popular ones: AnTuTu, Geekbench, Cinebench, 3DMark, PassMark.

Benchmarks are a guide, not the whole story — real use depends on thermals, software, and throttling. See date: Benchmark in specs.
