Every type of benchmarking software i have used is Bias to certain setups and does not like other setups...for example, 3DMark loves AMD over Intel and will even score AMD higher when it is not necessarily a better processor or board. I have had first hand experience with this. In the PDA world i would fear it would be bias to whatever unit it is designed on.

Software developers are also making more intensive PDA games than they used to. I think this is the main reason that reviewers want to include 3D benchmarks, to provide a good comparison point for this usergroup.
