Geekbench AI 1.0 examines some of the unique workloads associated with AI tasks and seeks to encompass the variety of hardware designs employed by vendors to tackle these tasks, delivering a three-score summary as part of its benchmarking results to reflect a range of precision levels: single-precision, half-precision, and quantized data.

It measures the performance of AI workloads, not the quality of LLM answers
Wish I could get measured like that at work. Do and say anything I want, great! It's all wrong and I'm killing patients, but I'd be fast!

Are those results in these photos in the article real cuz all i got on my new Galaxy Fold 6 with all its AI features is this 😅

Edit: ok my 15 Plus does much worse besides in the Half Precision Score for some reason? At least Apple does not seem to be lying about its capabilities regarding Apple Intelligence support guess?
Apple intelligence is optimized for qunatized 3.5-4 bit. It may do worse with other precisions on iPhone 15. The scores don’t mean much unless the models are optimized for certain precision.

Just a rename of geekbench ML, nothing new here. Clicking on the open button on the app store opens the ML app
