iPad, iPhone 3GS browser with the Nexus One Performance Comparison

Last weekend on sale in the U.S. Apple iPad from hardware point of view, the most concern is first introduced in Apple A4 processor. This is the first designed by Apple SoC System on Chip processor; expect our follow-up of the iPhone, iPod touch on will see its shadow. But in addition to the frequency of 1GHz, Apple did not disclose any specific size of the processor of information, so that we can only learn from some aspect of their performance levels.

Anandtech recently on the web browser on the iPad performance of a simple test, comparing models including the iPhone 3GS and Google Nexus One. Of course, since all three use the operating system, browser is different, and pure compared with the page rendering speed processor performance is not scientific, but it is currently the best solution under the conditions of a.

WiFi networks are tested under the same number of large sites to open pages (not including Flash content), repeat 5 time’s averaged results are as follows:

Can see that, in addition to several websites achievement gap is too large may be a problem, other than the Nexus One case iPad about 10% faster. In addition to processor performance, operating system optimization factors, the gap may also come from the power optimization. As the iPad is not cell phones, also has a large capacity battery, so it set the processor and other components in the actual operating frequency, can have more room to improve.

Look at SunSpider JavaScript benchmark:

 

iPad leading Nexus One 37.6%. Although many people would certainly say that mobile phones get more performance iPad and obviously unfair, but since it is the same nominal frequency for the 1GHz ARM micro-architecture processor, Apple A4 clear leader in the performance of Qualcomm's Snapdragon GSD8250 show, Apple for the first time into the ARM performance processor design has been well worth encouraging.
