Benchmarks Platform Qualcomm S4 promises high performance

We have already reported that Qualcomm is developing a new generation of mobile processors, which will form the platform S4. Now the network has the results of synthetic tests that show how increasing productivity through the use of new nuclei Krait. Of course in testing was a platform whose characteristics are very different to those that will have a real phone. In addition, the impact on the assessment of the speed of the user will be affected by elements such as a screen and the camera, but the 'pure' processor parameters also play an important role. The test has been involved Qualcomm MSM8960 platform with two cores Krait having a frequency of 1.5 GHz each. For all the individual kernel parameters exceed the current generation of Krait Scorpion, so it's not surprising that the resulting performance was much higher. In the test Limpack when one thread result was obtained 106.8 MFLOPS, and if the result of a multi-threaded more than doubled - 218.2 MFLOPS. What is most important - quad Nvidia Tegra platform with three core Cortex-A9 processor with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz with a multithreaded test results showed only 135.9 MFLOPS. In tests, SunSpider, and the result has been achieved BrowserMark rates exceeded Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which was to be expected, despite the high optimization of the latter. But with the graphics card is slightly different story. Despite the fact that the platform Qualcomm S4 enables graphics core Adreno 3xx is used in the MSM8960 tested, Adreno 225. On paper, this graphics card is not inferior in terms of PowerVR SGX543MP2, which is installed in the iPhone 4s. According to the test GLBenchmark situation is different. MSM8960 platform for rendering video with a resolution of 720p slightly superior to Mali-400MP4 installed in Samsung Galaxy S II and plays SGX543MP2 and graphics cards in the Tegra platform 3.
