Sometimes my Smartphone is faster even than my PC, who has a AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE processor, 4GB of RAM. But of course I can't complain too much because I am on my PC one of heavy users, and on my smartphone - not. And on the future perhaps I will upgrade my PC (especially RAM) :silly:
[General Topics] crayz9000:
When comparing raw performance, x86 will almost always beat out ARM (the type of processor in your phone). When comparing performance per watt, ARM beats x86 -- that's why your phone usually outlasts your laptop.

However, there are a few other different reasons for the gap in performance.

1 - Hardware decoders. Most smartphones, in order to save CPU power and wattage, include video decoders in the hardware. That way, whenever you want to watch a YouTube video, the dedicated chip takes care of the processing and CPU usage remains minimal. On the PC side, hardware video decoders usually only appear in some types of video cards. Chances are, if you have a cheap, $349 notebook, you've got minimal processing power to start with, and the CPU gets stuck with everything.

2 - Software. If you took the same computer you have today and put a Linux distribution on it, you'd probably get better raw performance than Windows with the usual Windows overhead + PC maker crapware + spyware infections + whatever other applications are in the background combination I usually see. I say "probably better" because there are always PCs with hardware that isn't fully supported yet, which causes performance issues particularly when it comes to video hardware.

i have been thinking of this for some time now. but compared to my computer, my computer is way faster with an intel i7 2700k and a radeon hd 7870 but compared to some laptops and low end desktops our phones can handle just about the same thing that they can handle. our phones can play some nice graphic games like real racing 3. im sure that game would make some low end computers lag at playing that game

I have no idea, as Android still can't run Windows games. (What I wouldnt give to be able to run Skyrim on my tab... Splashtop is useless without wifi.) But the blame for that lies with game developers, not Google or Android itself.

I need to replace the gpu in my laptop as it's starting to become a bottleneck, (gt 130m), but other than, my laptop is probably faster.

Also, screen resolution on my phone is WAY lower than my computer, so it's a seriously unfair comparison, lower resolution always means higher framerate, as it has to render less.

On an 1280x800 screen, it only has to render 74% of a Full HD video, as opposed to the full 100% (and more) on a 1920x1400 screen.

My PC is faster.

I can certainly see that this is not the case for everyone. My friend's laptop can't run a DS emulator very well, my phone can at about 2/3 speed, and my PC can at full speed.

My PC can run both an HD Game of Thrones rip (we own it on Blu Ray) and run the Dolphin Game Cube emulator playing Twilight Princess at full speed - at the same time.

And it's not even that great a PC - it's just a mid-range gaming set-up that I built because I wanted to play GW2 and Skyrim (not the most demanding games) at maximum shininess.
[General Topics] BradEK:
Did some googling and it appears today's phone CPUs would be equal to about a Pentium D computationally.

You need a few more generations to really close the gap. Any perceptions of them being faster is based on the overall architecture of the phones.

Additions from a stranger

to add to what this poster has already stated:

3 - Possessor Channels. They are kinda like interstate highways for programming languages that pass information that is recognized as a supported without a whole lot of extra emulation or superfluous handling. Apparently ARM has many more channels than IBM or AMD; google it and be surprised.

4 - Openstack. Why compare differences and get all caught up with what can and can't be done on an individual hardware set-up(s), instead lets join them all together into one virtual machine and never worry about speed or ram again.. this is what I'm working on and there is promise that one day we will all be able to run any program or operating system with any collection of old hardware.

Smartphones these days are pretty snappy but still no competition to PC at all.

[General Topics] troolie:
I can safely bet no smartphone that'll come out in the next 5 years will be a match for the PC I had 4 years ago.

There's a fast approaching limit to how small SoC can be manufactured. Once it's reached, battery and architecture improvements alone won't be enough to offset the growing power demand of faster SoC.

Small size and battery life are things that just don't get along with performance.
[General Topics] btsimonh:
I don't think they do or should match the speed of the PC that you use for the office; but I do think that they should be able to easily be used as a gui onto the more powerful machine. e.g. for building Android i need 100GB of drive space and 20 hours of CPU time on a fast machine; using the smartphone to manage the process and do the edits is ideal, since you are not tied to the heavy physical machine whilst waiting for all that downloading and processing!

[General Topics] autom8r:
Yep, if your PC was better optimized, it would slaughter the smartphone. But then again, your question is what is faster, and your 1080p example is good at proving a point. Smartphones were designed much better from this standpoint to be media devices, virtually all smartphones have a dedicated GPU, this may not be the case with many computers using integrated video run by the CPU.

However, ask your PC to do some calculation based tasks and there will be no comparison. Imagine processing a 50K line spreadsheet into a pivot table on your phone or on your PC. I expect with a phone's modest RAM and limited CPU the results would be pretty different than a media test.

It's all in what's important to your experience and how you define "fast". :)

This is more like comparing software not raw processing power when it comes to software Android wins hands down just grab a Gig of ram, Jellybean a decent Gpu and watch it go. Windows on the other hand acts as if years had nothing to do with experience in speed, hang ups and freezes. Apple on the other hand is much smoother about where Android is but If I could pick Google Play and Android would definitely take over Windows. All the developers would then be forced to make Android small, quick and useful like they should have done in the first place. Why programs are clunky who knows I know it's loading up things but they need to find better ways to make it pop. Ex. Foobar.

Install a ROM which runs smoothly on your device. Install a kernel which has good a performance on your device. Then, make any necessary tweaks in order to get your phone running faster. You can also overclock your device's processor.

These are some of the main suggestions I have. You can search deeper on the XDA forums to find other suggestions. Also, making your phone faster than your PC depends both on your phone's and PC's hardware.
