Geekbench 6 Multi-Core is fundamentally a single-task benchmark. It measures performance in workloads, where the user is not running anything significant in the background. If you are a developer who wants to continue using the computer while compiling a large project in the background, Geekbench results are not particularly informative for you.
I've personally found that Apple's Pro/Max chips have already too many CPU cores for Geekbench.
