GoKawiilPrimate Labs released Geekbench 7 today, promising benchmarks that more closely reflect how people use their devices across everyday tasks, gaming, and AI workloads. Here’s what’s new.
Geekbench 7 now available
When Primate Labs released Geekbench 6 in early 2023, the company said that “a lot [had] changed in the tech world in the past three years,” with AI and ML becoming “ubiquitous in general and mobile applications.”
Three years later, that is even more true. From on-device AI inference and image processing to video editing and increasingly demanding games, CPU and GPU performance now matter across a wider range of everyday tasks.
Today, Primate Labs released Geekbench 7, featuring “both new and improved workloads to measure the performance of your CPUs and GPUs.”
Geekbench 7 also revamps the app’s GPU Benchmark, placing greater emphasis on machine learning and content creation workloads. Here’s Primate Labs:
For machine learning, the GPU benchmark includes workloads that: Track faces and apply real-time filter effects to video, modeling the face filters in social media apps.
Upscale images with machine learning, modeling super resolution features in content creation apps.
Blur backgrounds in video conferencing streams, modeling virtual background features in video conferencing apps. Geekbench 7 also introduces new GPU image editing and synthesis workloads, including RAW image processing, LUT-based video color grading, path tracing, and fluid simulation.
Additionally, Geekbench 7 adds Nvidia’s CUDA to its list of supported GPU APIs, alongside OpenCL, Vulkan, and Metal.
