Normally when we say the technical characteristics that a phone has, the most important ones are usually said, such as the processor, its speed, the amount of memory, power of the camera, ... Among these characteristics, what usually sounds the most or take into account when comparing it is the speed of the processor and normally we assume that a faster processor is better than one that has less speed. This statement is not always the case and also influences other elements that surround the processor such as the unit that processes the images, which would be something similar to the graphics card in desktop computers.
In addition, the processors can all come from the same base, for example ARM Cortex-A8, but have a totally different performance when developed by different companies.
With the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S One thing has been overlooked that when it has been known, it gives more relevance to this terminal than it was originally given.
A processor is the one that manages all the calculations that are necessary to run a terminal, computer, machine or whatever, it is the heart and the brain. To this processor helpers are added to manage part of this work and that the processor deals only with what is important. One of these almost fundamental helpers is the one that manages the graphics. Graphics processing today is a labor-intensive task and if this is done by another part of the device other than the processor, it is left to work more comfortably on other management tasks.
When the Samsung Galaxy S It was obvious to give a very important detail and that is that the Samsung processor is accompanied by an assistant for graphic processing tasks that makes a fool of other similar phones, such as the Nexus One or Motorola Milestones.
Then I leave you a relationship with the name of the terminal, the type of main processor, the graphic processor and the number of triangles per second that it is capable of registering or processing.
- Motorola Droid /Milestone: TI OMAP3430 with PowerVR SGX530 = 7 million (?) Triangles / second
- Nexus One: Qualcomm QSD8 × 50 with Adreno 200 = 22 million triangles / second
- iPhone 3G S: Cortex-A8 (600 MHz) with PowerVR SGX535 = 28 million triangles / second
- Samsung Galaxy S: S5PC110 with PowerVR SGX540 = 90 million triangles / second
As you can see, the power of this is impressive Samsung Galaxy S that leaves in diapers Motorola Milestone, the Nexus One and the iPhone itself.
For those who want a comparison with a device that makes intensive use of this type of processors such as consoles, comment that the PS3 is capable of playing 275 million triangles per second and the Xbox 360 500 million triangles per second. Although the Samsung is fast, it is still far from the power of these consoles.
Now that you like even more the Samsung Galaxy S?
Well, it does give respect, but not only for the "raw" number but for the brand: if one takes into account that the real performance of the PowerVR SGX530 (although it seems that not) that mounts the milestone is DOUBLE of the N1, imagine what this one can do, bufffff.
"Although the Samsung is fast, it is still far from the power of these consoles."
taking into account that the ps3 that you put for example moves 275m triangles per second .. with a resolution of 1920 × 1080
and that this kid moves 90m at a resolution max WVGA 800 × 480
With wga, I don't think the difference would be much noticeable if the power was put to good use. It is not the same to see 275 million polygons moving on a 40 ″ screen than on a 4 ″ one.
honestly it already has enough ... another thing is that they make good use of it
Well, it does impress, but they have no other choice to raise the reputation that Android users have left with the abandonment of the first Galaxy, me among them ... they should learn from other brands in this sense ... I promised never to buy me plus a Samsung and at the moment I'm still in my thirteen, especially seeing that the competition is not lame far from it.
Does the milestone also have a Cortex A8?
an OMAP 3430 that supports ARMv7 instruction set and an ARM Cortex A-8 CPU
I think it is a tremendous team, but I would like to know in Venezuela, specifically in the cities of Coro and Punto Fijo, which stores sell them, I am too impressed by what is said about the information to be better than the iphone.
