You run the test, wait a few minutes, and get scores for your processor and graphics. The workloads are modelled on real tasks like processing photos, encoding media and handling documents, so the numbers mean more than a purely synthetic test would.

    Key Features

    • CPU benchmark reports single core and multi core performance scores
    • GPU benchmark tests graphics power through the Metal API on Mac
    • Workloads mirror real tasks such as media encoding and image work
    • Results can be uploaded and compared in the Geekbench Browser
    • The same tests run on Windows, Linux, iOS and Android devices

    How to Download

    Geekbench AI from Primate Labs answers a newer question than the classic Geekbench. How fast is this machine at AI work? It runs a set of machine learning workloads on your device itself, using tasks like image classification and object detection. You get a clear picture of how your Mac handles the kind of processing that modern software leans on more every year.

    Key Features

    • Ten AI workloads based on real machine learning tasks and data
    • Separate scores for single precision, half precision and quantized data
    • Tests the CPU, the GPU and the neural engine in your Mac
    • Uses Core ML on macOS to run models the way real apps do
    • Results compare easily with other devices in the online results browser

    How to Download

    1. Download from the official site and choose the macOS version.
    2. Open the download and move Geekbench AI to your Applications folder.
    3. Launch the app, pick a framework and device, then run the benchmark.

    System Requirements

    Geekbench AI runs on Macs with Intel or Apple Silicon chips and a recent macOS release, as listed on the official download page. Machines with a neural engine can show extra speed in supported workloads, which is part of what the test reveals.

    FAQs

    How is this different from regular Geekbench?

    Regular Geekbench measures general CPU and GPU performance. Geekbench AI focuses only on machine learning workloads, so it shows how a device handles AI tasks specifically.

    Why are there three different scores?

    AI models run at different precision levels. The three scores together give a fuller picture than a single number could.

    Does the benchmark need the internet?

    The tests run locally on your device. You only need a connection if you want to upload your result and compare it with the results other people have shared.
