Futuremark Pcmark [work]

(now officially UL PCMark ) is a suite of benchmarking tools designed to measure the overall system performance of a personal computer.

The rise of dedicated on-chip AI Processing Units (NPUs) has introduced new workloads that traditional PCMark loops do not fully measure, requiring separate benchmark extensions (like UL Procyon) to evaluate modern hardware capabilities. futuremark pcmark
