AnTuTu benchmarking This app is used to find out the performance & gaming benchmarking test on Android. This app gives scores based on 4 elements -- 3D, UX, CPU & RAM by running a multitude of tests. It also has lots of benchmark data collected over the years with various devices. Moreover, they also tied up with Samsung, Qualcomm, Intel to deliver more accurate results.

Geekbench This benchmark tool is available for both mobile and desktop computers. It provides the single core and multi-core performance of your smartphone to give overall scores.

PC Mark & 3D Mark This tool is the industry standard in testing gaming hardware & graphical performance. They also created a free mobile version of their popular CPU & 3D testing software, that works by rendering a selection of 3D scenes and physics heavy environments.
Vellamo Mobile Benchmarking This was used to run a variety of HTML-based tests to measure real-life Android Performance. However, it is not available right now, as Qualcomm removed it.

What does this number mean? It is ok to look at the benchmarks, but don't buy mobile based on them. It is good to know, but it should hardly be the only factor you consider. A device with good benchmark score might get poor battery life, have a crappy camera, or it might not work on your carrier's network. This benchmark test is there only to test the mobile limits, that why you should take phone benchmarks with a grain of salt and not the foundation of your buying decision.
