Is there a known CPU benchmark that tests the same things on either platform? If not, what kinds of benchmarks should be tested on them? (I plan to make applications for both if one does not exist)

Quadrant is one famous benchmarking tool which is used for Android phones! Apart from CPU benchmarking it does I/O and Graphics benchmarking as well. Here is the link to the Android app.
I’ve worked on these apps on ARM based phones, so I can suggest you a few things. Benchmarking is NOT the absolute measure of how well a phone/device performs. Just because you get a higher benchamarking value doesn’t mean higher performance. Total device performance doesn’t depend on CPU speed alone. Cache size, Bus speed, RAM size etc all contribute to the overall performance.
Also, I myself have seen companies modifying their code in order to fool famous benchmarking tools! So don’t exclusively rely on the benchmarked values. They should just serve as a reference for you!
Non-technically, one thing benchmarking helps is to flaunt your device with your friends 🙂
