A new benchmark tool for Windows Phone 7 named WP Bench is set to launch in a few hours in the Marketplace. The application was developed by Robert Varga who also developed the DirectX 11 ComupteMark software. As with all synthetic benchmarks the results aren’t really indicative of the real word performance of the devices so you should always base your performance analysis one synthetics results and real word results. Another way to compare the performance of the different Windows Phone 7 handsets on the market is to use the XNA sample applications (which I showed you in video in my Windows Phone 7 review) or just display the framerate rate counter in your application when debugging it.
