Video Transcript: Maximize AI performance: Introducing BenchSmart by SHI for in-depth PC & edge device evaluation
Welcome to BenchSmart, a proprietary tool designed and developed by SHI to evaluate the performance of AI PCs and edge devices in detail. Whether you are testing chat responses, voice transcription, or image generation, BenchSmart provides deep insights into system behavior across different AI workloads.
BenchSmart operates locally with a web-based management console. This ensures that only the specific test script runs on the test device, maintaining consistency across evaluations. The tool measures both individual and combined AI workloads, providing a clear picture of system efficiency.
With BenchSmart, you can analyze multiple performance factors, including CPU, GPU, and NPU utilization, ensuring that every processing unit's contribution is accounted for. This allows for accurate comparisons across various silicon platforms, including AMD, Intel, Apple, and Qualcomm
Once a test is initiated, BenchSmart tracks several key metrics: tokens processed per second, power consumption in watts, workload distribution across compute resources, and battery life impact. Our objective approach highlights differences in platform and OEM performance, helping customers make data-driven decisions when selecting devices.
The results are stored in the BenchSmart backend, where SHI can generate comprehensive reports comparing multiple devices and their AI capabilities. BenchSmart offers detailed reports with historical trends, allowing users to track performance improvements over time. This ensures you have the data needed to validate OEM claims and refine your product selection criteria.
One of BenchSmart's key capabilities is remote test execution. Authorized machines can trigger tests on a test device and retrieve results seamlessly, enabling flexibility and ease of use.
BenchSmart is not designed to mimic user behavior exactly, but to stress test systems to understand their performance capabilities under different typical enterprise workloads. By doing so, it helps infer the impact on user experience when running local AI tasks.
BenchSmart, developed by SHI, empowers businesses with objective performance evaluations, ensuring informed decision-making for AI PCs and edge devices.
