I should have clarified that Geekbench can be more accurately described as a set of microbenchmarks. It does test a lot of different kinds of performance, but it does not test sustained performance.
I don't like arguing semantics but I don't really think any of what Geekbench does is a "micro" benchmark. At least for me that typically refers to running a small snippet of code, like calculating a dot product or something. Geekbench tests whole program performance.
It's not aida64 but it is a pretty decent metric, and consistent.
