3DMark benchmark test available for iOS
The benchmark testing software 3DMark has released an iOS app to test GPU and CPU performance, just in time for Apple's expected new hardware announcements.
Futuremark is bringing the iconic 3DMark benchmark software to iOS. A newly available app puts your iOS device through its paces to test its gaming prowess. The tests come in three forms of an "Ice Storm" render, to test GPU and CPU performance.
3DMark is free on the iOS App Store. The 3DMark community site also scores various smart devices and pits them against each other, battle royale style. The announcement cheerfully notes that if Apple debuts its new iOS device this week, you can use 3DMark to hold their claims up to the cold ice storm of reality.

Pretty silly to have considering that you have little to no variation on hardware profiles.

It's cross platform and they're inviting cross platform comparisons.

I mean I get that but still. Hardware variation will still be relatively slim even between Android and iOS devices.
If you want to know whether or not your system will run a certain game well enough, the research is relatively easy to find with little to no standard metric required.
It's not like a PC where any number of combinations of parts can constitute a near infinite variety of system possibilities which makes comparison sometimes difficult to discuss.

I guess that means they don't have much new in the 5s so they are going to point to numbers instead of new features. Nice going Tim Cook.

I think so. They have a good number because the phone is very fast and they are planning to market that because they don't have enough interesting new things to market.

When you post your scores at Futuremark, just make sure you specify the size of your iPhone 5 (16,32,64) which iOS version and if it's jailbroken or not.
