A few years ago, a benchmark developer working for Ziff-Davis' benchmark operations group lamented, "In a few years, we won't be able to reliably or repeatably benchmark anything due to the dynamic optimizations of the OS, drivers and apps." It would appear that this prediction is being borne out today. And ironically, it's not entirely a bad thing for consumers.

3D NewsNET has posted a FutureMark and Nvidia joint statement relating to 3DMark03 and optimizations.
3DMark03 is designed as an un-optimized DirectX test and it provides performance comparisons accordingly. It does not contain manufacturer specific optimized code paths. Because all modifications that change the workload in 3DMark03 are forbidden, we were obliged to update the product to eliminate the effect of optimizations identified in different drivers so that 3DMark03 continued to produce comparable results.Read more

The drive is about half the size of a business card. A number of consumer electronics companies have announced products based on the drive.
