Geekbench AI 1.0 Benchmark released for CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs

Primate Labs launches their Geekbench AI 1.0 benchmark, replacing Geekbench ML

AI performance is becoming an increasingly important aspect of PC performance, be it from a GPU, CPU, or a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). With the release of Geekbench AI 1.0, Primate Labs has given the industry a way to test the AI performance of all major types of AI processor.

Geekbench AI replaces the company’s older Geekbench ML benchmark. The benchmark will have separate leaderboards for CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs. Additionally, AI benchmark scores will be split between three performance categories. These are Single Precision performance, Half Precision performance, and Quantised performance.

This new benchmark is available on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. In theory, this will allow users to compare the AI performance of their mobile phone to that 450W+ discrete graphics card. This new version of Geekbench is available to download now.

With AMD’s new Zen 5 CPU cores featuring AI-focused optimisations, and their new Ryzen AI mobile CPUs featuring dedicated NPUs, it makes sense for a dedicated AI benchmark to land that focuses on CPU, GPU, and NPU AI performance. In time, we will see which CPU/GPU architectures deliver the best AI performance. We will also see which companies need to work hardest to boost the AI capabilities of their hardware.
