3DMark is used by millions of people, hundreds of hardware review sites and many of the world’s leading technology companies. It’s the industry standard benchmark for graphics performance measurement, a professional level diagnostic tool now available to everyone for free!bUse 3DMark Ice Storm for device-to-device comparisons of mainstream mobile devices. Ice Storm is an OpenGL ES 2.0 benchmark test that uses fixed off-screen rendering at 720p then scales the output to fit the native display resolution of your device. Ice Storm includes two graphics tests designed to stress the GPU performance of your device and a physics test to stress its CPU performance. Use 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme for device-to-device comparisons of high performance mobile devices. Ice Storm Extreme raises the off-screen rendering resolution to 1080p and uses higher quality textures and post-processing effects in the graphics tests to create a more demanding load for the latest smartphones and tablets. Use 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited for chip-to-chip comparisons of the hardware inside your device without vertical sync, display resolution scaling and other operating system factors affecting the result. In Unlimited mode the rendering engine uses a fixed time step between frames and renders exactly the same frames in every run on every device. The frames are rendered in 720p resolution “offscreen” while the display is updated with small frame thumbnails every 100 frames to show progress.

Minimum Requirements:

• OS: Android 3.1 or later
• Memory: 1 GB (1024 MB)
• Graphics: OpenGL ES 2.0 compatible
• Storage: 155 MB

Looking at the performance results and Futuremark’s own comparison charts we can see that the S6000 gives a reasonable amount of performance for this end of the market, however don’t expect it to play all games smoothly with a high level of detail.

When we look at how well the S6000 performs against some of the most popular Android devices on the market, the entry-level ranking of this tablet sees it fall down the charts a little. Whilst the gaming tests appear to give bad results, in the case of the S6000, the likely hood is that basic games such as sodukus, wordsearches and card games are going to be played and thus are not going to be heavy going on the graphics either.
