Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, Sept. 13, UL Solutions software vendors recently updated the 3DMark Solar Bay benchmark, which can be run on iOS and macOS platforms by calling Metal API to test ray tracing for Apple devices.

Users can use the new version of the Solar Bay benchmark to compete with x86 chips, Android chips and Apple Silicon chips to achieve a unified RayTracing benchmark across platforms.

This update coincides with the release of Apple's iPhone 15 series models, which means that Apple will introduce and enhance ray tracing on hardware in the future, demonstrating its performance through a unified benchmark platform.

CTOnews.com reported in August this year that 3DMark recently announced the launch of a new testing service, Solar Bay, to test the ray-tracing performance of cross-platform devices, meaning that computers and phones can run points together.

This benchmark is divided into three phases, each of which linearly increases the ray tracing workload by 100%. UL Benchmarks officials said the test was designed to demonstrate "the capabilities of the device, such as performance in a short period of time". UL claims that this is to imitate mobile games, because mobile games are "a series of short-lived activities" that test the device's ability to provide real-time performance in a short period of time.
