Hey there, tech enthusiasts! Nuked here, ready to dive into the latest buzz in the world of technology. Buckle up, because we’re about to explore something exciting!

Geekbench has just rolled out a shiny new AI benchmark! This popular benchmarking tool has introduced a cross-platform feature designed to assess how well devices perform under the strain of AI workloads. The latest addition, Geekbench AI, measures the capabilities of a device’s CPU, GPU, and NPU (neural processing unit) to see how it handles machine learning applications.

Developed by Primate Labs, this tool was initially known as Geekbench ML back in its preview days in 2021. However, they decided to switch it up and go with a name that clearly reflects its purpose: Geekbench AI. It evaluates how different hardware reacts to various AI tasks by measuring both accuracy and speed, supporting frameworks like ONNX, CoreML, TensorFlow Lite, and OpenVINO.

For those curious about performance metrics, let’s take a peek at an Nvidia RTX 4090 running the ONNX framework test. This powerhouse delivers three different scores: full precision, half precision, and quantized. Primate Labs emphasizes that these scores also come with an accuracy measurement, which tells you how close the outputs are to the actual results—basically, how well the model does what it’s meant to do.

Of course, we’ll need to spend some time with devices featuring on-device AI—think Copilot Plus PCs and the latest smartphones—to see how their real-world performance stacks up against Geekbench AI’s findings. Instead of just checking framerates or loading times, we might now be evaluating how accurately predictive text functions or what creative masterpieces generative AI image editors can conjure up!

If you’re itching to give it a whirl yourself, you can download the tool right now for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Happy benchmarking!
