The title is misleading because the Intel Atom is Medfield, which is a chip (hurriedly) designed for mobile use from a laptop chip by Intel and hence low power.

The title is misleading because the Intel Atom is Medfield, which is a chip (hurriedly) designed for mobile use from a laptop chip by Intel and hence low power. Anyone know how it would do with a real laptop Atom processor?
- madmaze 14y agoAlso the medfield in the Lava XOLO X900(w/HT) is a single core processor and not a dual core like the A6
- mtgx 14y agoSunspider is a single-threaded test, so it doesn't matter.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoNever mind that Sunspider tests the JS engine (which isn't identical on either device) just as much as the processor. Testing JS->engine->OS->processor is a poor method of gauging performance of the processor itself. That said, I'm surprised no one's attempted a port of Nitro to Android/NDK for benchmarking purposes, to remedy this somewhat.
- trotsky 14y agoWhile I understand you point, it's rather thin - they are comparing the newest smartphone chip from apple with the newest smartphone chip from intel. Intel brought their best low power engineering to the table - haswell won't be available until 2Q13 which is pretty much an entire phone design cycle. Power doesn't mean much anymore without power/watt.
