There’s a new 3DMark sheriff in town.

3DMark Steel Nomad is a rasterized bench designed to replace Time Spy. It works on Windows on Arm, Android and iOS, with Linux on the way. It sounds potent: Guru3D benched 25 GPUs against it and only four broke 60fps!

It has “Easter eggs referencing the last 25 years of 3DMark Benchmarks” in its Explorer Mode, too. It’s a free update to 3DMark, which costs $35.
