Test claims Intel phones are 'fastest ever'

London, Jan 17(ANI): Benchmarking tests carried out by the website Anandtech has revealed that any phone powered by Intel chips are faster than any other phone, including the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy S2.

The test results clearly gave the new Intel 'reference' design a class-leading test time of 1,331.5ms when running JavaScript, which measured up to 2,250ms for the newest iPhone, 1,988.1ms for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and 3,727.4ms for the well-liked Samsung Galaxy S2.

The tests were conducted on the new "Medfield" Atom Z2460 chip, which signified that the claim made by Intel regarding its technology is quite precise.

Intel has also claimed that the battery life of the phone stays good, despite of the improved performance. This is mainly because the chips only have one 'core', while some competitor devices utilizes twin or even quad core processors.

"We don't frankly see the need for dual core. Our single core with hyper threading allows simultaneous applications, so we get much greater power efficiency. We believe we are at par if not better than our competitors," said Dave Whalen, Vice-President of Intel's Architecture group.

"The platform appears to deliver better CPU performance than anything on the market, despite only having a single core. GPU (graphics processing unit) performance is still not as fast as what's in the A5 but it's competitive with much of the competition today, and I fully expect the dual-core version of Medfield to rectify this problem," claims Anandtech.
