Primate Labs introduces the Geekbench AI app, a cross-platform AI benchmarking tool. Geekbench is a platform that measures the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities of a device, it was developed by Prime Labs, and its app is a benchmarking suite dedicated to measuring and evaluating the overall AI-centric performance of devices. It is available to download for free across all major platforms. The Geekbench AI tool can run the test on the CPU, GPU, and neural processing unit (NPU), also developers provide the option to choose its framework and models to test their workload.
Geekbench AI cross-platform benchmarking tool Launched
The company stated, “ Geekbench AI is a benchmarking suite with a testing methodology for machine learning, deep learning, and AI-centric workloads all with the same cross-platform utility and real-world workload reflection that our benchmarks are well-known for”. Moreover, the company highlighted the app would run ten different AI workloads automatically, where each test requires three different data types.
Moreover, the comprehensive testing of this AI tool helps users to get a better assessment of the on-device AI performance. The app is available for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows and can evaluate smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and similar devices. Also, the preview release of the app was named “Geekbench ML”, however, it was renamed as the company noticed that OEMs have started using the word AI to describe these workloads.
Furthermore, to determine the AI performance and handle its complexity the benchmarking app considers the workloads, hardware, and AI frameworks of the devices. The Geekbench AI app tests the device’s speed and accuracy as it helps to determine the device’s trade-offs between performance and efficiency.
Additionally, Primate Labs has also created an ML Benchmarks leaderboard where users can get access to check the CPU, GPU, and NPU performance of different devices. The software requirements to run the app are as follows.
- Android -Android 12 or later, 4GB RAM
- iOS -iOS17
- Linux -Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (64-bit) or later, 4GB of RAM (AMD or Intel processor)
- macOS – macOS 14 or later, 8 GB of RAM (Apple Silicon or Intel processor)
- Windows – Windows 10 (64-bit) or later, 8GB of RAM (AMD, ARM or Intel processor).
