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 4060 faster than the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT for AI?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 scores 1.39x the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT overall (Training 2.20x, Inference 1.26x, Compute 0.73x). It leads on Training and Inference and trails on Compute.
Should I choose the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 or the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT?
Choose the RTX 4060 for training (2.20x the Radeon RX 9060 XT). Choose the RTX 4060 for inference (1.26x the Radeon RX 9060 XT). Choose the Radeon RX 9060 XT for raw compute (1.37x the RTX 4060). These follow the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index category scores, which are not raw throughput.
Where is the difference between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT largest?
On the LynxBenchAI 26Q3 Index, the ratio is highest on DistilBERT at FP32 (Training), where the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 scores 8.64x the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT, and lowest on Dense MatMul at FP16 (Compute), at 0.49x.
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.
