For a lil more perspective:
Xperia Z compared to HTC Butterfly, benchmarks give credit to Sony?s handset ? Unwired View
The DNA would be on the left. So the One put up better numbers than both the DNA ans the Xperia Z.
Let's see how it compares to newer phones like the S4, Note 3, iPhone5S/6, etc. and then decide how impressive it is.
Personally i don't care about benchmarks at all. There are too many factors for them to be definite measures of a device's hardware.Well that goes without saying. In fact, I believe rumor has it that the S4 will run the same processor but clocked at 1.9ghz which means its benchmark will be higher. But who cares? This is still very impressive for HTC.
