I would like to compare my notebook with my iPhone (about power (speed)). i need something that is really "official" or let's me make a clear statement because I'm using it for a bachelor thesis. is there something like a well known benchmark, or is it possible i write something on my own?

There are a number of common benchmarks but they all attempt to measure different things. Until you define what aspects of a device's performance you care about I don't know how to suggest one. Look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benchmark_(computing) for a start. – Jonah Jan 7 '11 at 20:41
