GPU speed Samsung Galaxy S = 90 million triangles/sec. Wow, handheld yang benar2 powerfull nih. Layak ditunggu!
Did you know the Samsung Galaxy S contains the fastest graphics processing unit of any Android phone? Neither did I because Samsung felt that spec wasn’t important enough to include in theirofficial press release<http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20100323005594&newsLang=en> . It took me awhile to realize it, but I was watching the Galaxy S keynote highlights <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9m4-CbvuR8> and noticed Samsung’s Omar Khan mention their 1 GHz chip could “process a staggering 90 million triangles per second”. He claimed this was three times faster than any smartphone so I went and verified the numbers. The Snapdragon platform (QSD8×50) only does 22 million triangles per second. So how could this be? How could Samsung produce one of the most powerful Cortex-A8 based processors and just completely leave it off their press kit for the Galaxy S? It took me a lot of searching (really, I should be sleeping), but I was able to dig up all the goods on this magical processor. Apparently the Samsung Galaxy S features their new S5PC110<http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/newsView.do?news_id=1043> application processor which was announced last year. This processor contains an ARM Cortex-A8 core paired with a PowerVR SGX540 GPU. The Cortex-A8 core is codenamed Hummingbird and it was designed by Intrinsity <http://www.intrinsity.com/> who claims it is the fastest Cortex-A8 processor around. I will spare you that I’m some kind of ARM architecture expert and refer you to their press release<http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/newsView.do?news_id=1030> for more info. Very little is know about the PowerVR SGX540 because it has only been shown off on two device so far – the Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) and the Samsung Wave (S8500). *Here is a GPU comparison for some of the leading smartphones:* - *Motorola Droid*: TI OMAP3430 with PowerVR SGX530 = 7-14 million(?) triangles/sec - *Nexus One*: Qualcomm QSD8×50 with Adreno 200 = 22 million triangles/sec - *iPhone 3G S*: 600 MHz Cortex-A8 with PowerVR SGX535 = 28 7 million triangles/sec - *Samsung Galaxy S*: S5PC110 with PowerVR SGX540 = 90 million triangles/sec *And for comparison a few consoles*: - *PS3*: 250 million triangles/sec - *Xbox 360*: 500 million triangles/sec As you can clearly see, the Samsung Galaxy S comes out on top of the smartphones by a wide margin (but not quite those PS3 graphics in your pocket yet<http://androidandme.com/2010/03/news/android-will-have-ps3-graphics-in-3-years/> ). So to recap, the Samsung Galaxy S has the best display (Super AMOLED) and fastest processor of any Android smartphone that has been officially announced to launch *this year*. I wonder what else Samsung is trying to hide from us (they have not disclosed the RAM either). sumber : http://androidandme.com/2010/03/news/samsung-galaxy-s-hummingbird-chip-to-have-3x-gpu-power-of-snapdragon/ -- Regards, Krismanto Malam2 kehabisan pulsa? email: norick.senna(at)gmail.com ym: norick_p gtalk: norick.p -- "Indonesian Android Community [id-android]" Join: http://groups.google.com/group/id-android/subscribe?hl=en-GB Moderator: [email protected] ID Android Developer: http://groups.google.com/group/id-android-dev ID Android Surabaya: http://groups.google.com/group/id-android-sby ID Android on FB: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=112207700729
