The results seem strange. Intel HD 4000 is not a great card, but it's completely capable of running new-ish games on low/mid settings. I wonder if there's something even worse going on (falling back to software rendering?) if it seems to score 10x worse than a mobile phone.

yeah something is wrong. I ran the test on my lenovo x200s with an intel core 2 duo and intel GMA 4500 graphics and got 3700 "objects" and with a "tickcount" of 1400. I'm assuming objects are sprites--the test itself doesn't use the term.

If his HD4000 is getting 1250 objects, I shouldn't get 3700.

The test appears to be very resolution-dependent.

At 2560x1600, I get about 1800 objects at 25fps. At 1280x800, I get ~4k objects at 30fps. At 640x480, I get 16k+ objects at 30fps.

Yeah, well spotted. Just tried on intel 4k HD and got 12k in a mobile phone-comparable size.
