How to Read These Results

A LynxBenchAI score is sustained throughput on a fixed catalogue of PyTorch models, measured after a warm-up at a batch size raised until throughput stops improving, so it is what the machine holds under load, not its best instant. Training, Inference and Compute are three separate scores; GT combines them (Training and Inference weigh 0.4 each, Compute 0.2).

Every run uses the stock, publicly released PyTorch stack, so a result is broadly indicative of the out-of-the-box PyTorch experience on that hardware, and so of custom PyTorch models too. It does not run your own model, and it is not a vendor-tuned peak like an MLPerf submission.

Scores compare only within one Index: the 26Q3 Index fixes the models, precisions, correctness thresholds and scoring, and a later Index may change them. Each test is one timed window, the scores have no 0-100 scale, and a precision a device cannot run scores zero rather than being skipped.

LynxBenchAI is built by TechnoLynx, which the European Commission engaged as an independent expert advisor on AI performance and benchmarking for AI Gigafactories under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (case study).

Questions

Is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 faster than the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU for AI?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 scores 5.82x the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU overall (Training 5.48x, Inference 6.16x, Compute 5.83x). The two runs used different platforms (native Linux and WSL).
Should I choose the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 or the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU?
Choose the RTX 4090 for training (5.48x the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU). Choose the RTX 4090 for inference (6.16x the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU). Choose the RTX 4090 for raw compute (5.83x the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU). These follow the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index category scores, which are not raw throughput.
Where is the difference between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU largest?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, the ratio is highest on DistilGPT2 at FP8 (Inference), where the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 scores 7.43x the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU, and lowest on GraphGPS (Peptides) at BF16 (Training), at 4.12x.
What does this result tell me about my own PyTorch model?
Every run uses the stock, publicly released PyTorch stack, so a result is broadly indicative of the out-of-the-box PyTorch experience on that hardware, and so of custom PyTorch models too. It does not run your own model, and it is not a vendor-tuned peak like an MLPerf submission.
