OK, here's the answer.

I have an older Intel Core i-7-4790 running at 4 GHz.

My single-core score in Geekbench 4 is 3970.

My single-core score in Geekbench 5 is 830.

Totally different scales!

Assuming things are linear, since the tests appear to be the same, then the new minimum score for Geekbench 5 would appear to be somewhere around 300 - 320.
