Primate Labs, known for its popular Geekbench benchmark, has released Geekbench AI 1.0, a new benchmarking suite designed to test the performance of machine learning, deep learning, and AI-centric workloads across different platforms. This release comes after years of development and collaboration with industry experts, aiming to provide a reliable and relevant benchmark for evaluating AI performance.
Intel’s next-generation Core Ultra 9 288V ‘Lunar Lake’ CPU has made an appearance on Geekbench, showcasing its impressive performance, particularly in single-core tasks. However, the multi-core performance appears to lag behind AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 ‘Strix Point’ APU, which boasts significantly higher scores. The Lunar Lake CPU features a higher PL1 power setting of 30W, 32GB of on-package memory, and integrated Xe2-GPU graphics based on the new Battlemage architecture.
According to a Geekbench test entry, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 may run on the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset as its predecessor, the Z Flip 5, instead of the expected Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, the listing indicates an increase in memory to 12GB RAM. This is in contrast to previous Z Flip models, which all used 8GB RAM. Samsung has reportedly been experimenting with different performance packages for the Z Flip 6, including the possibility of an Exynos 2400 chip in some regions. While outdated tech may not significantly impact the Z Flip series, which prioritizes other features over raw performance, it could result in a lower price point for the device, especially in light of competition from cheaper foldables like the Motorola Razr 2023 and Nubia Flip 5G.
