3D smartphone capabilities database

Is there a website or a downloadable document that contains information on 3D capabilities (Fillrate, Features, Shader Units, etc.) of 3D equipment used in many modern smartphones, such as IPhone 3G, IPhone 4, more popular Android devices, Windows Phone 7 etc.

If there was such a resource that would surely save me a lot of time! When I first started my current work, my first task was to create a spreadsheet of information on the three-dimensional capabilities of all smartphones. It was waaaay harder than I expected, because the various device manufacturers are surprisingly restrained with respect to specific information other than that in their marketing brochures. I didn’t even get every device (just a solid selection of the most famous), and I didn’t examine them to the depth that you are asking for.

In general, however, I found several common patterns and the most useful resources that together told me the most about what I need to know.

First of all, almost all smartphones there use either a PowerVR chip or a Qualcomm chip (previously / alternatively known as "Adreno", this is a long story, read the Wikipedia article ) for the GPU. For example, all iPhones use the PowerVR GPU (while other generations), and Microsoft has mandated that all WinPhone 7 devices use the same Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. Motorola Droids uses PowerVR, HTC Android phones use Qualcomm, etc.

Secondly, I relied heavily on GLBenchmark, PDAdb.net, and the good ole Wikipedia. For example, going to the Results tab in GLBenchmark displays a list of all the smartphones they tested, then go to the iPhone 3Gs results and go to the GL Environment tab:

Oh look, he has a PowerVR SGX 535
