There are many benchmark tools available for mobile devices but realising how accuracy differs amongst them, Samsung and other companies like Broadcom, Huawei, OPPO and Spreadtrum have come together to form a consortium to create a standard performance metric for mobile devices.
The consortium is called MobileBench and revealed more details about their plans when they met in Shenzhen, China. Although the consortium is looking for new members, MobileBench will create two tools – MobileBench and MobileBench-UX to evaluate performances of mobile devices.
MobileBench will be a mobile app that will monitor CPU, RAM, memory, HTML5, Javascript etc. to evaluate hardware performance and rate the device by comparing with others.
MobileBench-UX will be a PC-based software that delves a little deeper by evaluating UX performance when the device was connected through USB to a PC.
The consortium also plans to release a consumer-centric app so that end-consumers can benchmark their own devices.

Yes sure Samsung, got cheating on current benchmarks and now everyone would believe that this sort of company which lies should be trusted for doing even a benchmark.
Samsung is not trustable, that is a fact.

I’m incredulous at their audacity, those lying cheating bastards.

BREAKING NEWS!
Pieces of code from Samsung’s new benchmarking tool leaked! See below:
if(isSamsungDevice(pid))
{
score = score * 1.5;
}
Vera Comment says
oh c’mon. it’s only 20%
/s
Sean Cua says
if(isSamsungDevice(pid))
{
score = score * 1.2;
}
else if(isAppleDevice(pid)){
score = score *.5;
}
this is more likely to happen.
