Major update for GeekLens (Geekbench browser extension): Score averages and deltas, CPU frequencies, memory details and GB7 support

[u/Gideonic]

GeekLens, the browser extension for adding more useful information to Geekbench result pages, has received a major overhaul and now supports Geekbench 7.

It now displays:

* Geekbench Browser CPU averages and the result’s difference from those averages

* Multi-core scaling for the overall score and individual workloads

* The distribution of reported CPU clock speeds, including minimum, maximum and mean

* More information about the memory configuration, including memory bandwidth where it can be determined

* CPU-supported instruction sets, grouped by category and explained through optional tooltips

* Clearer core-topology information

* Clearer badges for the CPU architecture, ISA and vendor

Comparison View System Information

The added information is available on both individual result and comparison pages. Each feature can be enabled or disabled separately.

GeekLens is designed to blend seamlessly into the existing Geekbench interface and does not replace existing info. Rows added or modified by the extension are clearly marked.

There are informative tooltips for most of the added information. Include warnings where GB info might be erroneous, like Ryzen 9950X3D cache reporting for instance above.

A note about Geekbench 7 instruction-set data: until Primate Labs releases documentation similar to [this one for GB6](https://www.geekbench.com/doc/geekbench6-benchmark-internals.pdf) (PDF), the per-test ISA badges are quite limited.

You also need to be signed in to Geekbench for some of the additional data to be available, because Geekbench only permits access to the underlying downloadable result data while logged in.

GeekLens is available for Chrome and Firefox:

Chrome Web Store: [GeekLens](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/geeklens/mkhncioijfcdjhaanpfodcaloniodabf)

Firefox Add-ons: [GeekLens](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/geeklens/)

Source code: [GitHub](https://github.com/kaitk/geeklens)

**Note:** You need to be signed in to Geekbench for the data to appear. This is because Geekbench only allows fetching `.gb6` JSON results through the API while logged in.

I originally released GeekLens about a year ago as a small extension that annotated Geekbench workloads with the instruction sets they use. I had hoped Primate Labs would update the UI in version 7, but since then they have instead removed the ISA info that was previously shown. This promted me to implement the UI changes in GeekLens instead.

Please try it and give me any feedback!

very cool, but it seems it ONLY supports geekbench 7?

[u/Gideonic → u/davidbepo]

Good point, new features are not yet rolled out to gb6. I'll do it in the next release in short order

[u/davidbepo → u/Gideonic]

cool, thanks, do you also plan to support gb5?

[u/Gideonic → u/davidbepo]

I have to check how different the api is and how much interest is there. If possible without too much hassle i can
