/MUSEWIRE/ — Today, well-regarded long-time benchmarking firm, Primate Labs, who make the venerable Geekbench testing tool, have announced the next generation solution, Geekbench AI 1.0. The new Geekbench AI is a cross-platform AI benchmark that uses real-world machine learning tasks to evaluate AI workload performance. Geekbench AI measures your CPU, GPU, and NPU to determine whether your device is ready for today’s and tomorrow’s cutting-edge machine learning applications.

According to the company, AI works in different ways compared to “traditional” computing, so Geekbench AI measures performance in different ways — three of them.

New Single Precision, Half Precision, and Quantized scores measure the different ways that AI does its work. Different kinds of hardware and different software stacks and frameworks prioritize different kinds of AI tasks, but breaking up our scores according to these different levels of precision provides a more complete picture when it comes to device performance, giving you the context to understand “fast” from “slow” AI.

AI isn’t just about performance; the accuracy of a given result is also really important when it comes to real-world AI use cases. Different kinds of AI models work in different ways, and sometimes the hardware or software between you and that work adjusts how those workloads are processed, say, to increase performance or efficiency. Geekbench AI compares model output against the ground truth to show you how accurate on-device AI might be in some tasks.

According to the company announcement, “AI is changing fast, with new hardware and software pushing the edge of the envelope almost every day. Geekbench AI 1.0 includes some of the latest AI frameworks for new hardware, offering a more complete picture for everyone, from developers building software to early adopters picking up new devices.”
