[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Ah, thanks! Great article.

Here are the benchmarks from the article, with the text translated via Google Chrome.

The HTC Sensation sits Qualcomm's new Snapdragon platform MSM8260, and the device is a dual-core 1.2GHz processor. New graphics chip adreno 220 works in conjunction with the processor, and it takes over from the first generation Snapdragon - adreno 200 - and the second generation who drove adreno 205th The latter graphics chip is including both Sony Ericsson (Play / Arc) and HTC (Desire HD / Incredible S) past top models, and according to Qualcomm's new adreno 220 twice as strong as its predecessor.

On the memory front, we find 768MB RAM, 558MB of which is available to the system components used their fair share. The amount of memory for appinstallationer is around 1080MB, which is significantly less than the Samsung Galaxy S2S 1935MB. Compare it with the HTC Desires sad 98MB appminne is just over a gigabyte a blessing, and the amount would be more than enough for most people - especially since the apps and games that take up most space stores the bulk of their information on the memory card, which for Moreover, large 8GB of Sensation.

The unit is also equipped with sensors gyro (a fancy form of accelerometer), digital compass, light meter, proximity sensor, accelerometer and a TV-out by MHL A / V link.

Performance, games and graphs

The big question is, of course, the MSM8260 platform performs relative to other dual-core chip that Tegra 2, which includes sitting in the LG Optimus 2X, and Samsung Exynos processor Galaxy S2-ball equipped with. When you take a look at the results of synthetic benchmarks should be kept in mind that the HTC Sensations screen has QHD resolution, while Optimus 2X and SGS2 driving WVGA, which means that HTC's flagship must shovel around more pixels. Therefore it would be odd if the unit is not ended after the test results, which it indeed did.

Before you put too much on the benchmarks, you might also be asking whether you really need more computing power than what Sensation such offers? Currently, dual-core processors, mainly for running graphics-intensive games, and play and capture high resolution video - something that Sensation is capable of. The new processors of course, also brings other benefits - they include energy efficient - but the fluency of the Android interface and common apps are good in one way over a year old HTC Desire.

In addition, because performance in games played as much on whether the developers optimized their game for a specific processor architecture, as in the raw computational power of the chip. In other words, if the software does not use the hardware in the best way, it makes little difference how good performance hardware has. An extreme example is the emulators: when playing some Commodore 64 games on a HTC Desire hacks them up, even though the C64 had a 0.985MHz processor and 65KB of RAM - which is over 1000 times slower CPU and 9000 times less RAM than the HTC Desire - simply because most software slows down everything.

Nvidia has managed to get developers to optimize some heavier games for Tegra 2, and Qualcomm would not be outdone and went out recently and said that more than 100 games have been optimized for Snapdragon and graphics chip adreno - which bodes well for the game, interested in buying a Sensation. The mobile games Sony Ericsson Xperia Play running a Qualcomm chip with adreno-205 GPU also means that more games are optimized for just Snapdragon.

If playing on HTC Sensation can be briefly said that not a single game that was tested, although the more graphically intensive, showed no tendency to lag. As a side brackets may be mentioned that the popular platform game Cordy at the moment but unfortunately was not compatible with the sensation - it was simply never past the loading screen, regardless of waiting time.

Those who want to make a detailed study of the HTC Sensation performance in benchmark tests in comparison with various other entities, which sometimes dual competitors Optimus 2X and SGS2, can usefully look at uppsjön the tables below.
