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 AMD Ryzen 5 9600X faster than the Intel Core i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz for AI?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 15.16x the Intel Core i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz overall (Training 12.22x, Inference 7.94x, Compute 96.62x). The two runs used different platforms (native Linux and WSL).
Should I choose the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X or the Intel Core i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz?
Choose the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X for training (12.22x the Intel Core i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz). Choose the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X for inference (7.94x the Intel Core i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz). Choose the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X for raw compute (96.62x the Intel Core i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz). These follow the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index category scores, which are not raw throughput.
Where is the difference between the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and the Intel Core i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz largest?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, the ratio is highest on Dense MatMul at BF16 (Compute), where the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 2636.00x the Intel Core i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz, and lowest on DistilBERT at FP8 (Inference), at 0.99x.
Which precisions run on only one of the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and the Intel Core i7-10850H CPU @ 2.70GHz?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, only the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X runs BF16 training; a precision a device cannot execute scores zero.
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.
