Evaluation of Image Classification performance on the MNIST dataset, reporting standard Accuracy alongside detailed hardware efficiency metrics including inference latency and energy consumption, both absolute and equivalent 16nm scaled values.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Image Classification |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MNIST |
| Metric | Accuracy |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 7 of 7 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-mnist-accuracy-and-hardware-efficiency-metrics.md?metric=Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Inference Latency (s)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-mnist-accuracy-and-hardware-efficiency-metrics.md?metric=Inference%20Latency%20(s)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [Equivalent 16nm Latency (ns)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-mnist-accuracy-and-hardware-efficiency-metrics.md?metric=Equivalent%2016nm%20Latency%20(ns)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [Energy per Inference](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-mnist-accuracy-and-hardware-efficiency-metrics.md?metric=Energy%20per%20Inference>): Lower is better; unit: OTHER.

- [Equivalent 16nm Energy per Inference (pJ)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-classification-on-mnist-accuracy-and-hardware-efficiency-metrics.md?metric=Equivalent%2016nm%20Energy%20per%20Inference%20(pJ)>): Lower is better; unit: OTHER.
