A benchmark version number is specific to a test. Benchmark version numbers change rarely and only when absolutely necessary to accommodate changes in third-party applications or bug fixes.

Procyon AI Computer Vision 2.0 Benchmark v1.1.593

Aug 17, 2026

Updated

  • WinML updated from 1.8.2124 to 2.1.74 
  • Added WinML standalone EP support for all vendors 
  • Updated SNPE models and runtime to SDK 2.47 
  • Updated OpenVINO to 2026.2 
    • Fixed bug where running the test on a specific target hardware creates model caches that would be incorrectly used for other target hardware on the system
    • Enabled driver-based NPU model compilation flag
  • Updated TensorRT RTX to 1.6
    • If the system has the WinML 2.0 compatible NVIDIA RTX EP v0.0.40.0, the workload will use the standalone EP instead as this specific version crashes when running the ESRGAN model. The newer EP v2.30.43.0 released on 29.7.2026 resolves this issue and is used if available

Procyon AI Computer Vision 2.0 Benchmark v1.0.567

May 27, 2026

Updated

  • Added support for local generation of EP Context models for AMD Vitis AI EP. This enables the workload to automatically generate compatible models that benefit from the latest VitisAI EP updates without the need to update the benchmark with every EP release. 
  • Enabled shared memory buffer usage for OpenVINO and QNN Execution Providers. Helps avoid implicit IO memory transfers by utilizing shared memory buffers bringing minor performance improvements 
  • Updated native Intel OpenVINO inference engine to v2026.1 
  • Updated ESRGAN model used in WinML + QNN Execution Provider (EP) path

Procyon AI Computer Vision 2.0 Benchmark v1.0.557

April 17, 2026

Added

  • Added native Ryzen AI path for systems with AMD NPUs based on XDNA 2 or later architectures.

Procyon AI Computer Vision 2.0 Benchmark v1.0.555

April 13, 2026

Fixed

  • Resolved an issue where an incorrect SNPE DLL was packaged with the WinML QNN Execution Provider runtime.
  • Model cache generated for WinML QNN Execution provider use SDK 2.39 to avoid regression in BLIP model caused by SDK 2.40 driver dependencies. 

Added

  • Model caches generated for the WinML OpenVINO Execution Provider now include the execution provider version in the cache name so that caches can be regenerated when a new OpenVINO EP is released. 
  • Improved error logging for WinML workloads when Execution Providers fail to download.
