Intel phones ‘fastest ever’

[Jazzy]

Tests on the first mobiles powered by Intel chips have given them higher marks than any other phone examined, including the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy S2.



Benchmarking tests carried out by website Anandtech said the results were as good as those found in tablets. It gave the new Intel ‘reference’ design a class-leading test time of 1,331.5ms when running Javascript, compared to 2,250ms for the latest iPhone, 1,988.1ms for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and 3,727.4ms for the popular Samsung Galaxy S2.



Intel announced its first mobile phone deals at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week, revealing that Lenovo would be the first company to sell a device, launching the K800 in China, and that Motorola had signed a multi-ear deal that will see it sell phones in the second half of this year.



The tests on the new Medfield Atom Z2460 chip indicate that Intel’s own claims for its technology are largely accurate. The company also says that battery life remains good, despite the increased performance, because the chips only have one ‘core’, while some rival devices use twin or even quadcore processors.

I want one! How about you?

I read something that is the opposite of this. ARM chips are still surpior.

I dunno, Jazzy, my computer runs that same test about 4 times faster.

That's not a cell phone.

Intel has a long way to go if it wants to compete with Apple and Samsung.

If I were to install Skype it would be!
