Linpack vs Geekbench AI
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Linpack
This utility measures a system's floating-point computing power by solving dense linear equations. It reports results in millions of floating-point operations per second (MFLOP/s) and includes checks for solution accuracy and machine precision.
- Measures floating-point computing power
- Solves dense linear equations
- Reports MFLOP/s
- Checks solution accuracy
- Determines relative machine precision

Linpack Benchmark The LINPACK Benchmarks are a measure of a system's floating point computing power. They measure how fast a computer solves a dense N by N system of linear equations Ax = b, which is a common task in engineering. The solution is obtained by Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting, with 2/3·N3 + 2·N2 floating point operations. The result is reported in millions of floating point operations per second (MFLOP/s, sometimes simply called FLOPS). Results. Mflop/s: Millions of floating point operations per second. A floating point operation here is a floating point addition or a floating point multiplication with 64 bit operands. For this problem there are 2/3 n^3 + n^2 floating point operations. Time: The time in seconds to solve the problem, Ax=b. Norm Res: A check is made to show that the computed solution is correct. The test is based on || Ax - b || / ( || A || || x || eps) where eps is described below. The Norm Res should be about O(1) in size. If this quantity is much larger than 1, the solution is probably incorrect. Precision: The relative machine precision usually the smallest positive number such that fl( 1.0 - eps ) < 1.0, where fl denotes the computed value and eps is the relative machine precision.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Linpack at 5.0 against Geekbench AI's 4.2. Linpack also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Geekbench AI's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (33 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Linpack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Geekbench AI has 33 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Linpack's written reviews are positive against 55% of Geekbench AI's.
Linpack ships an update every 8 months, Geekbench AI every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
