And we’re back with another video of the HTC Inspire 4G. Last time around, we showed off the handset’s speeds on AT&T’s HSPA+ network. This time we’re taking a look at how the HTC Inspire 4G stacks up in a Quadrant benchmark test. The final Quadrant score for the HTC Inspire 4G came in at 1976, which is at the high end of the spectrum for an HTC phone. The HTC myTouch 4G and HTC Desire HD both feature the same Qualcomm® QSD8255 1GHz second generation Snapdragon processor and have comparable Quadrant scores to the HTC Inspire 4G.
There have been a lot of comments going around which seem to downgrade the performance of HTC Inspire 4G by putting it in the same category as the HTC EVO 4G or even the Nexus One. We believe that many are confused about the handset’s performance simply because all these handsets feature a processor which clocked at 1GHz. But processor speeds never tell the whole story. The HTC EVO 4G and Nexus one produce quadrant scores around the 1250 mark, which is about 35% lower that the Inspire 4G’s benchmark numbers.
Yes, the Qualcomm® QSD8255 is last year’s technology, but the EVO and Nexus One are running on technology that’s been on the market for over 16 months. We know HTC is already working on phones that utilize Qaulcomm’s dual-core MSM8260 chip, but we don’t expect these handsets to hit the market for another 3-4 months.
I’d be interested in seeing linpack results but more importantly Smartbench 2010. Smartbench is more reliable on some phones and I like how it graphs CPU and GPU/Graphics individually. Can you run Smartbench on this phone?
My HTC G2’s Quadrant score was 2255. Course I was running SetCPU to OC up 1.5ghz, minimum 1ghz, set to Ondemand. 2255 though, from a phone with a supposedly ‘800mhz’ CPU. heh. 2nd Gen Snapdragon!
