UL Solutions Benchmark: Test and compare cross-platform with Solar Bay Extreme

Since the original Solar Bay Benchmark launched on Android, iOS, and Windows, hundreds of thousands of gamers around the world have run it to see how their devices might handle the next generation of games developed for mobile devices and lightweight computers.

However, gaming technology moves fast, and just over the horizon are always new processors with the capability to run even more realistic lighting in games at minimal battery drain.

To be ready for these, we think now is the time to clock things up with an extreme version of Solar Bay. It significantly increases the existing raytracing workload with additional raytracing implementations such as ray-traced specular reflections for all surfaces and glass reflections and ray-traced soft shadows for directional light.

This time is a little different from previous extreme benchmarks of ours – not only have we turned up the scene heaviness with new raytracing techniques, but we’ve expanded the scene with an additional assembly bay. where a rival team is competing to build their solar array faster.
