### Who is this for?
This is an introductory topic for software developers interested in comparing the performance of Arm Linux computers using Geekbench.

### What will you learn?
Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:
- Install and run Geekbench 7 on an Arm Linux system
- Compare Geekbench 7 scores to determine the appropriate hardware configuration for your workload

### Prerequisites
Before starting, you will need the following:
- An Arm computer running Linux. You can use a cloud instance, refer to [Get started with Arm-based cloud instances](/learning-paths/servers-and-cloud-computing/csp/).
