UL Procyon AI Image / Text Generation:
UL Procyon AI Image Generation:
UL Benchmark not only offers its 3DMark benchmark suite but also, UL Procyon, to meet the demand for Artificial Intelligence evaluation. This benchmark was chosen for its ease of implementation. The benchmark will generate 4 x 4 images and provide us with a score as well as a result in the form of the time, in seconds, required to generate an image. The software supports several AI inference engines depending on the GPU used.
We will therefore use the benchmark in Stable Diffusion 1.5 (FP16) mode. It is intended for mid-range GPUs. The test will create 16 images at a resolution of 512 x 512 in batches of 4. There is a test called Stable Diffusion XL (FP16), where 16 images will be created, at 1024 x 1024, in batches of 1.
Unfortunately, our NVIDIA RTX 5090 Founders Edition is not recognised by the software and should be updated as soon as the cards are released. However, here are the performances of our other cards and we will update both graphics as soon as our RTX 5090 is supported.
On the other hand, 5th generation Tensor Cores provide support for the FP4 (Floating Point 4 bit) format, which will double the calculation performance of neural models while reducing the memory footprint by half. This improvement is based on an essential compromise: FP4 uses less precision than traditional formats such as FP16 or FP32. However, for many deep learning models, this precision is sufficient to maintain reliable results while considerably reducing the load on memory and computing units. So we carried out the test with our RTX 5090 and here’s the result.
UL Procyon AI Text Generation:
The latest benchmark added to this test suite, AI Text Generation. The Procyon AI Text Generation Benchmark provides a more compact and easier way to repeatedly and consistently test AI performance with multiple LLM AI models. UL says it has worked closely with many AI software and hardware leaders to ensure that the benchmark tests take full advantage of the local AI accelerator of the systems used.
Our RTX 5090 Founders Edition is once again in the vanguard, mastering the subject perfectly. We can see that our two top-of-the-range AMD models are a long way behind.
