Qualcomm Uses Procyon AI Benchmark at Snapdragon Summit

At their 2023 Snapdragon Summit on Oct. 24-26, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. demonstrated its use of the UL Procyon® Artificial Intelligence (AI) Inference Benchmark for Windows in analyzing the performance of their next-generation compute platform, Snapdragon X Elite. The event focused on showcasing “the leading CPU for mobile computing” (Qualcomm) and providing insight into Qualcomm Technologies’ plans and capabilities for the future of Windows PCs.  

Developed with industry partners

Our UL Procyon AI Inference Benchmark for Windows, which launched in March 2023, is designed for industry vendors developing AI-specific hardware. At UL Solutions, we develop our benchmarks in collaboration with industry partners so they remain relevant and innovative. Working with these partners helps us understand the problems the technology industry faces. By developing our benchmarks to remain standardized and consistent, we’re helping to create impartial data that allows businesses to assess and compare performance.  

Our AI benchmarking is constantly evolving

AI is becoming a creative disrupter, impacting the way we work. Many tasks that we once thought manual can now be performed autonomously. Our AI Inference for Windows benchmark is part of this revolution, with AI workloads that are standard machine tasks, such as image classification, image segmentation, object detection and super-resolution. Development for this benchmark is ongoing, with workloads relevant to new AI use cases continuously under discussion. Software development kits (SDKs) used to measure AI inference performance include Qualcomm® Neural Processing SDK, Microsoft® Windows ML, Intel® OpenVINO™ and NVIDIA® TensorRT™.  

Procyon benchmarking focuses on real-world scenarios to maintain relevance

The UL Procyon benchmark suite offers flexible licensing, letting you choose the benchmarks that best meet your needs. You can buy just one benchmark or add more in any combination.
