SRPBatcherProfiler.cs the recommended profiler by Unity. The results shown regarding mobile platform

Hi, only want to settle my mind, as could not find any information.

when working on URP with Android or IOS platform and testing the scene with SRPBatcherProfiler.cs does the results reflect approximated performance on the target platform (probably not because mobile phones have a variety of specs) or just the perfomance of the scene on my machine?

Thank you.

The post I found the recommended script:

The script:

github.com

Unity-Technologies/SRPBatcherBenchmark/blob/master/Assets/Scripts/SRPBatcherProfiler.cs

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.Profiling;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;

namespace UnityEngine.Experimental.Rendering
{
    public class SRPBatcherProfiler : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public bool m_Enable = true;
        private const float kAverageStatDuration = 1.0f;            // stats refresh each second
        private int m_frameCount;
		private float m_AccDeltaTime;
        private string m_statsLabel;
        private GUIStyle m_style;
        private bool m_oldBatcherEnable;

        internal class RecorderEntry

Hello,
Yes, none of the Unity tools estimate what the performance would be in a build on your target platform, not the Profiler, not the SRPBatcherProfiler not even the device simulator, which is more about simulating screen resolutions.

However, the Profiler can be attached to a built development Player to gather performance metrics, and tools like the
SRPBatcherProfiler can use Profiler APIs like ProfilerMarkers and ProfilerRecorder to emit and record timings directly from code and therefore work in a built Player as well.

Performance in the Editor is not going to be a good indicator for performance on your target device and profiling there is only useful for quick, relative checks while working on improvements for issues found while profiling on the target platform and devices.
