ryanshrout · x · 2026-09-01
Ryan Shrout details the methodology behind Signal65's PINNACLE benchmark. Drawing on his experience measuring hardware and creating 'Frame Rating' to evaluate real gaming experiences beyond raw frame rates, he argues AI benchmarking must shift from measuring model intelligence to measuring agentic workflow completion. PINNACLE simulates tasks for five enterprise personas in a realistic hybrid environment, developed with guidance from AMD and NVIDIA.
