From what I read geekbench is basically comparing hardware acceleration for encryption. Not very useful for general purpose computing.

I did some searching and found the following quote concerning the Geekbench 4 benchmark:
“These updated workloads include several well-known codebases that are used every day on mobile devices, such as LLVM, SQLite, and PDFium. These updated workloads model real-world tasks and applications, and provide an objective measure of the performance of the CPU in your phone or laptop.”
That sounds like it is testing a lot more than hardware accelerated encryption.
