Posted in: Today's Chili

Basemark X Ready To Rock The Mobile Benchmarking WorldRightware, the creator of the Browsermark web browser performance suite and Kanzi, the UX powering Audi automobiles, is getting ready to launch a cross-platform graphics/gaming benchmark called Basemark X. This is a 3D “game-like” application built on the Unity Engine 4.0 which aims at simulating the workload experienced by the hardware when running demanding games. The benchmark will work across iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8+, so when this comes out, we will be able to make more meaningful cross-platform benchmarks to give you a good idea of what your next smartphone is capable off in our reviews.

Vellamo benchmark adds CPU and memory tests, here’s how it rates the One X and GS III

Vellamo benchmark updated to tests CPU and memory, here's how it rates the One X and GS III

Qualcomm’s Vellamo app has been a part of the furniture in our Android benchmarking suite for a while now, providing a fun little test of browsing and networking speeds on almost any Android device. Version 2.0 adds something extra, however: a section called “Metal” that is all about putting your processor and memory through the wringer.

As a quick taster, we ran the new HTML5 and Metal tests on the HTC One X (both global and AT&T) and the Galaxy S III (global and Sprint), settling on the average of three consecutive results. Conspiracy theorists who think that Qualcomm’s app favors its own processors will only find further ammunition in the CPU results, however the HTML5 scores actually give the QCOM devices much less of a lead than the old Vellamo did, scoring all four handsets roughly equally. You’ll find the table overleaf, along with a publicity video that explains the update.

Early benchmark scores are in for the Sony Xperia T, TX and V

Posted in: Today's Chili

We’ve already benchmarked the Galaxy Note II and the ZTE Grand X IN at IFA, and as the week wraps up we’re circling back to test the mettle of other handsets announced here in Berlin. We ran mobile benchmarks on Sony’s new flagship Xperia T, the Xperia TX (the US version of the T) and the LTE-enabled Xperia V. All three devices pack dual-core Snapdragon S4 Krait processors clocked at 1.5GHz, and they’re currently running Ice Cream Sandwich — though a Jelly Bean update is reportedly on the way. Meet us past the break for a first look at how these smartphones stack up.

Intel, Acer, Qualcomm join Futuremark's 3DMark for Android development program

Benchmarking outfit Futuremark has announced that Intel, Qualcomm, Acer and SingTel-Optus are joining the development program for the company’s 3DMark for Android. The quartet is in good company, joining a list of industry heavyweights that includes AMD, Microsoft and NVIDIA, amongst others. While the Helsinki-based outfit hasn’t mentioned a specific release date for its latest analysis application, it’s on course to arrive “later this year.” For us, that simply isn’t soon enough — but then again we don’t get out much.
