Easy-to-use, cross-platform benchmarking tool at your service

Those looking for benchmarking tools capable of working across iOS, Andoid, and Windows tablet devices need look no further. The non-profit consortium BAPCo has released TabletMark v3, the latest iteration of the benchmarking tool that features cross-architecture and cross-platform performance and battery life benchmarks for tablet devices.
TabletMark v3 offers results that can be compared across Android, iOS, and Windows 8.1 devices and built so that the test results reflect features and optimizations native to each platform. The benchmarking tool automates activities into three separate usage scenarios: web and email; photo and video sharing; and video playback, with the results being displayed at the end of the run. It also supports 64-bit versions of iOS and Windows 8.1.
According to BAPCo, the benchmark makes use of a variety of workloads and data sets in an effort to closely reflect the performance a user could expect when they are performing comparable workloads over a number of real-world applications. It will be interesting to see the results and see how accurately the tests will reflect how a person uses their tablet.
TabletMark v3 is currently available for free and can be downloaded from Google Play and the Windows Store. Meanwhile, the iOS version will be coming soon though no date was provided.
