Well there's a new tool out there for pitting our browsers against each other, and this one comes from the WebKit team. It's called [Motion Mark](http://browserbench.org/MotionMark?ref=birchtree.me) and it's definitely the best looking speed test I've ever used.

We all know that every benchmarking tool has it's drawbacks, and the WebKit crew seems to know this:

> We needed a way to monitor and measure WebKit rendering performance, and looked for a graphics benchmark to guide our work. Most graphics benchmarks measured performance using frame rate while animating a fixed scene, but we found several drawbacks in their methodology. 

[You can read their entire post](https://webkit.org/blog/6943/motionmark-a-new-graphics-benchmark/?ref=birchtree.me) to see what they focused these tests on. In the meantime, I ran the 3 devices in front of me through it's hurdles and got some interesting results. The long and short of it: phones are getting stupid-fast.
