Designed by researchers at ETH Zurich, AI Benchmark is a new Android-specific app that was developed to evaluate the performance of various smartphones. This testing is done across a suite of open-source algorithms that perform facial recognition, image super-resolution, image classification, photo enhancement, segmentation and a host of others to measure performance. AI Benchmark is even capable of testing performance on neural networks used in driverless cars, which may one day be run on chips comparable to the ones found in smartphones.
As AI Benchmark runs the phone through its paces, it also produces visualizations of the phone's performance. This numeric score factors in the speed of the system-on-chip and available RAM to produce an accurate and pertinent score of the device.
