GL benchmarks of the 3D's Processor...

well? What do you guys think? I personally am GLAD to see it beating out the competition (albet it is clocked at 1.5 GHZ). I thought the new proc would be slower than others considering last years competition (although that snapdragon was still good just not for gaming). Glad to see me being wrong. Also cant WAIT to play games on it now!..just another pro for us dEVOtees...see what I did thar?
 
Given the current state of apps, there will be no big difference between the 1.2 and 1.5 in regular use. By the time the apps start to drop that start to weed out slower CPU's we'll be closer to the next Evo in 2012.

Apple has the software and apps to really show off what it can do on the iPad2 for example.

Android still lags in this regard.

On the upside, because the Evo3D hardware has outpaced apps, it should be a screamer, and be a relevant phone for at least 18 months.
 
yes..there is something odd / wrong with this test and scoring.

iphone4 is at the bottom, but the iphone 3gs is higher...

the chart is interesting, but I dont give too much credit.

It's because that particular benchmark is running at the native resolution -- the 3GS has a low resolution screen, so it gets a sizeable speed bump. Most of the phones tested have a more comparable resolution. Point being, the Adreno 220 is definitely not going to disappoint.

It might be worth reading the full original review from AnandTech and seeing all the benchmarks: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4243/...ormance-1-5-ghz-msm8660-adreno-220-benchmarks
 
While it is ocd to 1.5ghz it is still the same chip so performance scores should be similar...and the reason the 3gs is doing better than the iPhone 4 is because it is at lower resolution..I also remember the developers at Qualcomm or HTC stating that the ego 3d quo be overclockable to at LEAST 2.0ghz..they said that they wanted to "future proof " it as much as possible.
 
This will be worth more to me once we see the scores of products that are actually on market with everything (on both ends) properly optimized for each.
 
I love HTC phones, but the one thing that sucks about HTC phones compared to other high-end Android phones is the GPU.

Both the Droids and the Galaxy S phones have a better GPU, which make those phones better for gaming.

So, how does the GPU in this phone compare to the one in the Droids and the Galaxy S?
 
The Adreno 220 is fine.

The problem isn't hardware, it's software, because really, Android games are awful compared to iOS games. In addition, android still lacks hardware acceleration, which is why it looks and feels laggy compared to WP7 and iOS.

Supposedly, the GPU will be 2 times stronger than the Tegra 2 to begin with, although more than likely the EVO3D will produce weaker results to the Adreno 220 tested in that picture, due to the EVO3D having a higher resolution, as well as being clocked lower at 1.2 GHz as opposed to 1.5.

Either way, it should still be fairly impressive and definitely up to snuff for the near future.
 
I believe the phone tested also had an 800x480 resolution, and not the 960x540 the EVO3D will have, so the score will likely drop a bit. It will still be impressive though, and notably more powerful than the Tegra 2.

People are getting all twisted up on benchmarks, but can't seem to grasp the software isn't there to expose the differences.

Furthermore, in those benchmarks the iPhone4 scores horribly, but iOS performs buttery smooth, and it has games that look as good as anything on Playstation2, while android is stuck with Fruit Ninja

True, but Android is progressively getting better. Case in point, a game like Dungeon Defenders, out for both devices.

Now we just need our own version of Infinity Blade to take us a step further.

Though the problem is, anything based on Adreno 200 or 205 could not handle a game like that, but for reference, pretty much any Galaxy S phone should be able to handle a game like Dungeon Defenders or Infinity Blade just as well as the iPhone if not better.
 
The chart having the iPhone 3GS leaps and bounds ahead of the iPhone 4 has me a bit worried... (in the sense that these charts obviously aren't everything)
