Robert Varga has just informed me that his Windows Phone 7 benchmarking application WP BENCH 2 is now available on the Marketplace. The most notable change is the inclusion of online charts and user submitted results which will allow you to easily compare your device’s performance against others. WP BENCH 2 is also Mango compatible and has been further tweaked to better test the handsets.


You will have to grab it directly from here even if you already have the previous version installed because this one was submitted with another AppHub account.

Update: Looks like somebody with a mysterious Nokia XXX and Fujitsu IS12T ran the benchmark just recently…
