Everyone's favorite cross-platform benchmarking program Geekbench has been updated to version 3. The tool is free to use in 32-bit mode, but if you want to unlock the 64-bit mode, the app will cost you $9.99 for OS X, or $14.99 for Windows, Linux and OS X versions.

Thanks for notifying us Tony.
Memory scores seem more accurate.
I tried to tweak my memory numerous times with old version,but it seems it was performing at spec after all.
I am running 10.8.3.
Systems above 10.8.3 and/or running 64 bit show 10k+.
I score 8.9+ with similar spec hardware.
Intel 3350p 3.1, Gskill Ripjaw 1600, Giga H75md3h.

Thanks for the heads up.
For the first time, running GeekBench under OS X and Windows gives me very similar results.
Usually windows systems wiped the floor with OS X on my builds.

I like the new single core reporting feature also.

it is only 32 bit test possible in free trail mode, 64 bit benchmark is only for full pay version

According to the Geekbench forum, OSX 10.7 is the minimum supported version of OSX for Geekbench 3, though I was able to run it on my old Mac Mini running OSX 10.6.8

GeekBench 3 was updated on Aug 17th to also run on OS X 10.6 systems. The current version as of this writing is 3.0.2

Very helpful as some of us run systems on 10.6.8 too.
