HTC X One has already begun to flex its muscles with the first
benchmark of which we had occupied a few days ago regarding the S4 version with Qualcomm .
New tests begin to trace the divide between the version of HTC X One with
quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 and other dual-core smartphone which also include team-mate HTC One S. The benchmark results obviously do not always translate into a similar performance boost noticeable in real life of the device, but we must admit that if the premises are those that are going to show you, even in the daily performance of HTC X One might be very convincing and true Top of Range.
Let's start off from a challenge HTC X One plays at home, defying HTC One S , equipped with S4 Platform Qualcomm dual-core architecture. The frequency of each core is substantially similar for the two smartphones (1.5 GHz), but HTC X One has a double number of cores (4 versus 2). An impact on performance is not only the frequency of operation but also the efficiency of the architecture and from this point of view also has HTC S One of the trump cards from the manufacturing process 28nn Qualcomm S4 which makes it very efficient.
Regarding the results of the tests reported below, we clarify that the version of the software used by HTC One D is not yet definitive, the results may therefore be subject to further improvements. For testing we used the well-known benchmark AnTuTu that expresses a single synthetic value the performance of various components of the smartphone (CPU, RAM, GPU, etc). Following are the complete results:
One HTC X:
- Total Score: 10 597
- RAM: 2280
- CPU Integer: 3495
- Float-point CPUs: 2617
- 2D Graphics: 141
- 3D Graphics: 1194
- Database IO: 525
- SD Card Write: (24.1 MB / s) 150
- SD Card Read: (35.2 MB / s) 195
- CPU Frequency: 1500
One HTC S (software version is not final)
- Total Score: 6458
- RAM: 1166
- CPU Integer: 2069
- Float-point CPUs: 968
- 2D Graphics: 296
- 3D Graphics: 1248
- Database IO: 365
- SD Card Write: (24.1 MB / s) 150
- SD Card Read: (35.2 MB / s) 196
- CPU Frequency: 1512 MHz
As you can see, at least with the benchmark used, the performance gap compared to the solution of dual-core Qualcomm is consistent.
A similar scenario superiority recurs when you switch to compare the performance of HTC X One with those of three smartphone Samsung widespread, popular and powerful, or the S Galaxy II, Galaxy and Galaxy Nexus Notes . We propose the following chart with measurements made by Nvidia itself:
Starting from a value of 100 which corresponds to the performance of the Nexus Galaxy, HTC X One would result in an increase in performance ranging from 111% to 186% more depending on the benchmark used. Obviously this comparison test, made by Nvidia, and not by a third entity entirely, or not be refuted by further benchmark the community and we will do when we start to use the copies of HTC X One for the usual tests. At the same time we felt it appropriate to refer you to begin to quantify the benchmark, albeit with some margin of error, which will be the performance boost provided by the solution quad-core Nvidia over existing dual-core.
We were aware that a quad core compared to last generation, to be released next week, with dual core always top range but already on the market. But this is precisely the point, given the criticism that we often face the Integra 3. If our Galaxy Nexus have more than 6000 points benchmark and HTC super X ONE is part of the 10,000 already a remarkable achievement, important, and if we hope for future enhancements directly from nvidia, HTC or community of enthusiasts, we can certainly hope that the product is durable and at the top.
