Qualcomm’s 1.5GHz 8660 Dual-Core Processor Tops All in Benchmarks

286

You can say whatever you want about Qualcomm’s speed in getting their newer chipsets inside of devices, but they do come to market with technology comparable to their competitors. Such is the case with the MSM8660 – the same chipset inside of the HTC EVO 3D and the supposed HTC Pyramid.

The EVO 3D’s chipset is clocked at 1.2GHz and we didn’t really have enough time with it to run benchmarks on it. Qualcomm seems to be able to clock the thing to 1.5Ghz, though. We’re not too surprised considering they have a single-core chipset inside the HTC Flyer running at those speeds, but our mind was blown after seeing the effects of this overclock.

In a test where the performance of Quake 3 is tested, the chipset outpaces the likes of NVIDIA’s Tegra 2, Samsung’s Hummingbird, and Texas Instruments’s OMAP platform. Quadrant tests reflect much of the same (though we’re aware that many of you don’t put too much stock into Quadrant results). The above photo also shows its performancce in the GL Benchmarks test.

You should note that this chipset does not take into account real-world performance – battery life would be at an absolute premium if you were to just drop this into a smartphone in its current state. Still, it’s quite impressive and we can’t wait to see how this thing will perform inside of actual phones whenever Qualcomm’s OEM partners begin to adopt it. (To date, the fastest chipset OEMs have provided for commercially-available products is the HTC EVO 3D.) [Anandtech via IntoMobile]

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

    Either way, looks like I won’t need to stick with a Tegra-based device if Qualcomm are delivering on performance.

    1. The Htc Evo3d has already been proven everyone on the floor at CTIA was truly impressed with the speed and fluidity of the device not to mention the overall technology that exist in this one device. The only thing I wanted was the NFC technology in the device that’s what’s missing but gingerbread will bring that ability to this device. People on sprint should be very proud of what we are about to get our hands on in the coming days. This device is a reflection of great business relationships and overall commitment to the Evo Brand on sprint nothing on any other carrier will compare for the remainder of 2011.. I want to give Samsung credit with there S2 this year but more so there upcoming 1.4 hummingbird processor that will appear in there next device… HTC EVO 3D WILL RULE ANDROID and further place sprint FIRMLY ON THE ANDROID MAP people can HATE all they want and trust me many haters exist on this site no matter is said NO OTHER CARRIER WILL HAVE ANYTHING BETTER THAN THIS DEVICE.. Not the thunderbolt, not the Droid Bionic, Not any device on Verizon or At&t.

      1. Are you working for Sprint? This test was done with MDP device clocked at 1.5Ghz while others are loaded with manufacturer bloatwares, skins, clocked at 1Ghz. Real performance of Evo 3D @1.2Ghz won’t be this high for sure. Also why Exynos for SGS2 is missing here?
        If you didn’t know, Tegra2-3D, Tegra3, OMAP4440 (1.5Ghz) are all due to be out soon with much faster graphic performance than tegra2. So even adreno220 topping this chart won’t stay long.

        1. Tegra 2 3d is not much improvement, the tegra 3 will be. But so will the adreno 300. And so on and so on. Can’t wait till we actually start flexing the muscles of these SOC’s and I don’t mean angry birds. Playstation 2 emulators? Xbox 1 emulators?

          1. Yeah, but Tegra 3 should come out before this chip..and it has double the processing power and probably at least 50% bigger graphics performance.

      3. This is all well and good until you put the Exynos on there. The fact that last year’s single core Hummingbird is running a close 4th means that the new dual core CPU quad core GPU Exynos from Samsung is going to spank the Snapdragon in 2011 just like the Hummingbird did in 2010.

      5. You’re comparing apples to grapes here. Reason is because you’re comparing a 1.5ghz chipset to 1 ghz chipsets.

        Let’s see how the MSM8660 does at 1ghz to the Tegra 2 or them both running at 1.5ghz. And being that Qualcomm is using A8 vs A9 instruction set and using 45nm vs 40nm on the chips, It’ll probably suck up more juice.

        I’m not saying the new Qualcomm SoC’s can’t give a great user experience, but I doubt they are fast or more power efficient then the other dual core chipsets when you compare cycle for cycle.

        BTW, unless the EVO 3D has an NFC chip, there’s no way it’s going to be activated with Gingerbread. It also already has Gingerbread.

    5. The 1.2 Ghz dual core chip will be out before Tegra 3, but Tegra 3 should be out before this chip, and it’s not even competition. Tegra 3 will be almost twice as good in both CPU and GPU.

      What most people don’t realize is that Tegra 2 actually started shipping 7 months ago (in September last year)…so even the 1.2 Ghz dual core Snapdragon is 8-9 months late compared to Tegra 2 (although a bit more powerful GPU wise, CPU about the same).

  91. This test is one sided for qualcomm 8660 since it’s clocked at 1.5Ghz while others are at 1.0Ghz. If you scale the performance of Tegra2, OMAP4 to 1.5Ghz, they are still faster.

          1. That was old days of Pentium4. But they couldn’t keep doing that as power consumption sky rocketed with clock. So they came back to focusing on IPC like Core 2 duo, i5, etc. So that argument being able to clock higher is better is not valid any more.

  93. This test is one sided for qualcomm 8660 since it’s clocked at 1.5Ghz while others are at 1.0Ghz. If you scale the performance of Tegra2, OMAP4 to 1.5Ghz, they are still faster.

  97. I’d like to know where all the talkers are about Qualcomm now… Every time you turned around some fanboy of Tegra 2 was on there soap box talking smack… NOW TALK… People on the floor at CTIA was most impressed with the Htc Evo3d’s speed and how the device operated and that was not a finished product software wise so i know when launched this device will be the BEST ON THE MARKET. As far as the Htc Flyer is concerned this is something I will definitely pick up after I get my Htc Evo3d on day one. Who knows i might pick up both of them on day one of picking up my Evo3d. Bottom line here i never put stock in benchmarks I care most about real world USAGE and that is where the ORIGINAL HTC EVO 4G KILLED ALL DEVICES. In reality htc understands not only what there customers want but exactly the daily experience they need from there smartphones NOBODY WILL EVER BE BETTER THAN THEM. I am glad they stick to there business partners and the relationships they have with those partners Htc and Sprint benefit from Qualcomm and apparently so does the Play Station Phone…

    1. It has on live. Google is working on fragmentation. Problem will be solved soon enough.

    2. I happen to think the Adreno 200 was one of the major reasons why we didn’t have good games on Android until very late in the game when other manufacturers joined the Android party with other chips, along with the fact that HTC was “cheap” enough to use only 200 MB of free internal storage for apps, which meant that all games over 5 MB or so were “too big”, and people wouldn’t keep them in their phones for long or would yell at developers because they are “so big”.

    1. Yes, because they use the same GPU but iPhone 4 pushes 4x as many pixels on the screen. It’s too bad so many people are just now realizing this, though I still think I’d prefer a higher resolution (especially on a tablet) over a hit in performance, unless the performance hit is too big.

    It’s quite obvious that the OMAP outperforms the Snapdragon when clocked the same.

  136. You all realize that the benchmarks these phones are tested with are largely invalid, don’t you?
    By the time new games and applications are going to be developed, there might be proper comparisons between the chips.

    Quadrant is the worst benchmark out there. I can set up my Acer Liquid (1st gen Snapdragon (with Adreno 200) running 768MHz) to do a better Quadrant score than a stock Galaxy S. And of course the Liquid is NOT faster than the SGS except in calculating Pi.
    Quadrant is completely invalid.

    Tegra2 uses the GeForce ULV GPU which handles graphical output somewhat different than the other mobile GPUs out there. It works rather like a desktop GPU in the way it renders graphics, while the Power VR SGX GPUs (in the Hummingbirds, A4, A5 and OMAPs) spit out plain pixels and triangles.

    The Adreno 205 is 5x as fast as the Adreno 200 and is about as fast as the Power VR SGX540 in the SGS.
    Qualcomm claims that the Adreno 220 would be 5x as fast as the Adreno 205.

    I hope that the Adreno 22x chips will be able to render graphics in a sophisticated way and will be available in the near future.

    There is a reason why Sony Ericsson puts an Adreno 205 in its Xperia Play.
    There is a reason why tons of game developers port their console titles to the Tegra2.
    Their analysts surely came across these lacking benchmarks presented in this article, and they still decided to port their titles to Adreno 205 and Tegra2 over Hummingbird and OMAP.

    I think with the Adreno 220 it is going to be the same. I see a Xperia Play 2 comming.

  153. if the chipset performs as the test shows then sweet. however, where are the phones that are going to be using this chipset? they are bragging about the performance yet there are no devices in the near future that are going to using the chips. at least we are getting tegra2 chipsets, and the galaxy s is still holding strong. let’s wait until the phones that use this chip releases, then compare it to other phones that are releasing at that time and see how well it holds up. by the time those are being used, there will be even stronger versions of the tegra chipset, and let’s see what the orion chipset can do as well. either way, whichever chipset comes out on top, you can’t lose with either one of them! we will be in for a real treat as these companies compete to create the ultimate phone!
