In JavaScript testing, meego destroys Android 2.2

Note: the title of this article refers to a recent arstechnica article, and cannot be taken seriously. Let's take a look at the following reports to learn more about the situation. In fact, this is all about the browser engine and platform, rather than the operating system.

Today, I started a series of tests on the aava prototype phone. The first item I want to do is

Sunspider JavaScript test. It is a central processor-intensive and is an important part of the chain event that allows web programs to display on your browser. Yes, it is one of multiple variables and an important indicator of CPU performance.

I have been recording sunspider tests (you can also add the list you want to test) and are impressed with improvements in software and hardware. In the ARM-based world, the best devices of the same kind produce sunspider results (IPAD, iPhone 4) within 10 seconds ), some new devices are completed in less than 6 seconds (see references ). In Intel's world, netbooks use about 2 seconds to generate sunspider results (using the latest chrome build ).

The above is the result of my current aava call. 4215 Ms. It runs on Intel's moorestown (1.5 GHz) and uses the same CPU as the netbook. On the netbook, run sunspider on the latest Firefox build, or on Firefox mobile build on the meego-based aava phone. The difference is very small. For a prototype phone, 4.2 seconds is impressive. These numbers confirm the CPU speed again and confirm that the sunspider speed is about to be reduced to 2 seconds (using the latest chrome or android browser build ). Try sunspider on your phone or PC browser to see how many points you can get. For your reference, I use UMPC as my trusted PC. It runs a 1.6 GHz atom CPU and returns 4.1 seconds. The real speed of a desktop PC is no less than 0.5 seconds.

We are talking about the power of PC here, but there are two points that we must remember. 1) multi-core ARM-based devices are coming soon. Dual-core, 1.2 GHz Snapdragon platform is likely to reach 2 ~ The speed range of 3 seconds. 2) We must also remember that if you want to continue running this test on these high-energy platforms, you will experience crashes within several hours.
