For years, we’ve relied on Geekbench to tell us how fast our computers are. Now, it’s trying to figure out how smart they are.

The company behind the popular benchmarking tool has unveiled Geekbench AI, a new test designed to measure a device’s artificial intelligence prowess. Think of it as an IQ test for machines.

While we’ve been able to compare the processing power of different chips for years, understanding how well a device handles AI tasks has been a murkier proposition. Geekbench AI aims to change that by providing a standardized way to measure AI performance across different platforms like macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

The test works by throwing a variety of AI challenges at a device, from recognizing images to processing complex data. It then spits out a score that’s meant to reflect how well the device handles these tasks.

The company claims that big tech players like Samsung and NVIDIA are already using Geekbench AI to gauge the performance of their AI hardware. But it’s important to note that while Geekbench AI is a step forward, measuring AI performance isn’t as simple as measuring raw processing power. AI is a complex field, and there’s still a lot we don’t know about what makes one AI system better than another.

For now, Geekbench AI offers a starting point for comparing AI performance across different devices. As the technology continues to evolve, we can expect the benchmark to become more sophisticated and informative.
