On August 16 that Primate Labs released the first version of the Geekbench AI benchmark today . Although the name is new, the software is a renamed Geekbench ML.
We learned from the official blog of Primate Labs that Geekbench ML includes computer vision and natural language processing tests and has been in preview for some time. Developers realized that the term ML (machine learning) is not very suitable for promoting tools, and replaced it with Geekbench AI (artificial intelligence) tests that are more suitable for marketing .
The Geekbench AI 1.0 benchmark supports cross-platform, but because the performance of AI algorithms on different platforms may be very different, users will see different scores in different tests. Therefore, the AI benchmark rankings will be divided into three groups: CPU, GPU and NPU (neural processing unit).
NPU has been the focus of all processor manufacturers as their goal is to ensure that modern processors achieve high inference speeds with low power consumption. NPU is also a requirement for Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC certification.
Primate Labs explains that AI benchmarks are much more complex than GPU tests and need to measure more than just raw computing power. Over time, developers add new frameworks and API support, which must also be reflected in the benchmark.
Ultimately, Geekbench AI scores will be divided into three sub-scores: full-precision score, half-precision score, and quantized score .
Meanwhile, users can browse the official Geekbench AI ranking to see the fastest AI hardware.
The Geekbench AI benchmark is now available for free trial. Geekbench AI 1.0 is available through the official Windows, macOS, and Linux download pages , as well as the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
