Can someone please explain to me why this phone will launch with only 800 MHz? Does it have a sick GPU to make up for it?
It's not the mhz, it's how you use itCan someone please explain to me why this phone will launch with only 800 MHz? Does it have a sick GPU to make up for it?
It uses the same 45nm architecture as the new 3600 series OMAP cores. They produce lower voltages, and faster cycles. The G2 will smoke the EVO, Incredible, and N1 in terms of performance.
The GPU doesn't really have much to do with the clock speed. If that was the case, I would've been able to get a higher FPS score in a Neocore benchmark test on my Droid 1 after overlocking it.
The GPU is an Adreno 205, and should perform on par with the current crop of high end Android smartphones.
T-Mobile G2 should have similar performance to Samsung Galaxy S ? Android and Me
Agree in most cases, but disagree here. If the processor is shown to be as fast/faster than the Evo's, plus it has stock Android, plus a dedicated GPU, plus a smaller screen... will definitely out-perform the Evo.Don't start talking about out performing the evo until it actually is out and has done so, what seems good on paper doesn't always translate. (Except for gaming, Evo doesn't handle that so well. Unless youre rooted )
Same goes for hspa+ beating sprint wimax 4G.
I counted pixels on the image that Jerry posted. The Nexus One received an 820% increase in "CPU" performance from 2.2. Extrapolating that to the Galaxy S, the CPU score for those devices would be 1175.
In terms of processor performance, that would make a Galaxy S with 2.2 18% faster than the G2.
Also worth noting is the faster I/O on the Galaxy S: About 130 points difference, which is a 61% performance advantage for the Galaxy S. Presumably this would be unaffected by the 2.2 upgrade.
I don't play games on my phone, so I don't care about the other parts of the benchmark.
In terms of real-world effects, I'm not usually frustrated by the foreground app being too slow; it's usually switching between apps when I start to notice delay. The 61% performance benefit of the Galaxy's I/O system is therefore probably much more significant to me compared to the difference in processor performance.
I was planning to return my two Epics next week... This has given me something to think about.
Who gives a **** about the clock speed. The only thing that should matter is whether or not the phone performs quickly. Which it does.
