Certification reassures results
Futuremark’s cooperative benchmarking business model enables its Benchmark Development Program (BDP) members to license handheld benchmark source codes in order to use them in all phases of product development. However, before non-Futuremark compiled benchmark results can be published, they must be certified by Futuremark to ensure a high level of benchmark results integrity. With certification, one is assured the results are truly comparable and fair. All certified results are freely available on the Futuremark Web site.

Growing presence in handheld market
Futuremark is well known in the handheld and PC industries having had over 30 million copies of its 3DMark® and PCMark® series distributed worldwide. Futuremark’s SPMark(TM)04 benchmark product is a growing presence in today’s handheld market with over 30,000 copies distributed.
