Geekbench AI is the new app to measure the power of artificial intelligence in our devices

Different hardware will have different performance in terms of artificial intelligence. The power of the CPU, GPU, and neural engines, if any, as well as the amount of available power and various other variables directly affect the ability of a device to efficiently run AI models. How to compare devices with so many variables? With the new Primate Labs app: Geekbench AI.

An accurate assessment of the capabilities of each device

Geekbench, a software already well known for its performance benchmarks, has officially launched Geekbench AI, a suite specifically designed to evaluate the ability of devices in machine learning tasks, deep learning and other AI-focused workloads.

The app is capable of analyzing performance under a considerable variety of workloads. For example, we can evaluate performance at different levels of precision: single precision, medium precision, and quantized data. This is an important differentiation because different AI-related tasks require different levels of precision, and not all devices handle these levels in the same way.

After running the test, the tool provides us with a score in three parts that reflects this variety, giving us a more complete view of hardware performance. In addition to performance scores, Geekbench AI also includes a measure of accuracy in each test.

Regarding the measurement process, Geekbench AI takes advantage of several new frameworks for a more accurate simulation of workloads. Primate Labs has also made sure to include data sets that accurately reflect typical workloads and inputs in real-world usage.

A synthetic test, like the ones we have in front of us, does not always accurately reflect what the device has to face in its day-to-day. And yet, the ability of the Geekbench tools developed by Primate Labs to come as close as possible to these use cases has made their apps and scores a benchmark. A benchmark that we can now use to compare the power of different devices in the field of AI.

Geekbench AI is available for free on various platforms, including iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, and Linux. Soon, we will also be able to view and compare scores from different devices, so while the European Union sets its sights on AI with this pioneering law in the world and Halide removes all Artificial Intelligence from iPhone photos, we will have a much clearer vision of what they are capable of doing.
