HTML 5 Video Player = PAIN IN THE ASS

[thankennedy]

he said new my eyes went directly to the upload date

[VolxMart]

xD че , я не понял ?

[ThePerformance]

everytime i look to the comments below and theres a war, i just got lazy to read others.

[HuATTK]

shaolin95, your Galaxy S is one generation apart from current model. It is running on Cortex A8, which puts it more or less on the same league as iPhone 3GS, if you want to compare with Apple. Apple iPad (and possibly also iPhone 4) runs on Cortex A9, with GPU similar to the PowerVR on Galaxy S. However the problem with Android lies in the amount of apps. Have you played this game called 9mm? Or this other game called Infinity Blade? Or how about Aralon? No? Dead space? Or how about...

[mrseapig]

@HuATTK the iphone 4 has a arm cortex a8 processor. the same as the SGS.. the SGS however has a much more powerful gpu than the iphone 4. However whats the point of having a more powerful gpu if there arent much games where u can put them to use. Thats one of the many bad things about android. WE NEED MORE APPS!!!

[HuATTK]

@mrseapig Well I got ONE good news for you: Dead Space is now out for your SGS. One good game! Need MOIRE (intentionally misspelled for emphasis).

[DARKENDER17]

@HuATTK all of that games are on android

[shaolin95]

where can i get that benchmark? ty

[1976para55]

ıts very good but wait for tegra 3.

[HuATTK]

@1976para55 You guys keep saying wait for Tegra this, wait for Tegra that. But look at Tegra 2. When Tegra 1 was here everyone says yeah, this will kill the iPad but good. But then it didn't. No apps! Then Tegra 2 came out. Yeah, iPad 2, now you DIE DIE DIE. But then, NO APPS! In fact games run worse on Tegra 2 than some funky thing like in this video called Adreno. Now you're saying, wait for--

Hold that thought. Lemme just wait for iPad 3 while you get your act together. How about that?

[shaolin95]

@HuATTK By all means enjoying your IPad 3 ...as long as people like you keeping buying Apple will keep shoving up your assess. lol

[HuATTK]

@shaolin95 And in the meantime, still no apps for your Tegra 2. Wait for Tegra 3, and then what? Same shit as Tegra 2? I'm not saying people should side with Apple. I'm using hyperbole here, since Apple is the status quo these days. Seriously, this no-killer-app-to-support-your-­hardware craziness has to end. Or do you really expect buyers to be happy with yet another round of low-rent gaming like Riptide and Samurai II? Go and Google for Tegra 2. You can count the games with one hand.

[shaolin95]

@HuATTK Not sure where you got I have a Tegra...Iown a Galaxy S with a GPU that kicks the crap out of the iPhone over priced hardware that is the point...apple zombies pay more for less

[Illmatic662]

@HuATTK This makes no sense to me? What on earth does Tegra have to do with Apple anyway? I have never heard anyone proclaim the death of Apple with any Tegra device, your comment comes off as elitist. How did iPad even get in this conversation?

[HuATTK]

@Illmatic662 Have you not been paying attention to the development of tablet devices, which the Tegra 3 is poised to premiere on? Tegra 3's main competitor is the iPad 3. As for "killing the iPad," google for those 3 words. You'll find that every time a tablet maker comes up with a new product, it will supposedly kill the iPad. We're still waiting for that to happen. Also, read my reply to shaolin95. And FYI, I own a Tegra 2 tablet. So I have a legitimate grudge. You?

[Illmatic662]

@HuATTK What makes you think that there will not be an Apple device that uses Tegra? There is a strong possibility that could happen one day. For many years Macbooks were only using Nvidia GPU's. I think the chance of Tegra eventually coming to iPad is good. Which Tegra 2 tablet do you have? I also have a Tegra 2 tablet............

The iPhone/iPad killer thing has to do with the media NOT the companies. How many companies have actually come out and said that there product is better then Apple?

[HuATTK]

@Illmatic662 Let's just say the chances of Apple using Tegra is slim to none. Apple recently revamped their Mac lines and wholesale shifted from Nvidia to ATI. Adding to that, they don't want to cause app incompatibility between iPad versions, which is what makes most Android games not run on Tegra 2 in the first place. You should know if you own a set. I get butthurt just from trying to get a handset Tegra game to run on Tegra 2 tablet. As to your last question: again, google for "iPad killer".

[Illmatic662]

@HuATTK Yes, but lets not forget about that recent large lawsuit between Nvidia and Intel, it ended nasty. I still think the chance of seeing an iPad someday having Tegra inside is possible. I have not had any problems running Tegra games on my Tegra 2 device.

Like I said though, the iPad killer thing comes from the media more then the manufacturers. For example Engadget might see an awesome device and proclaim that it's an "iPhone/iPad killer"

[mrseapig]

@Illmatic662 From what i know the Ipad2 has a better gpu than the ULP gpu chip in the tegra 2 chip. So if they keep it up i think they will be fine. :D

[noobwalker93]

Well anyways I wouldn't buy an htc device all because of their GPUs. When the Adreno 220 gets benchmarked we'll see if it's worth it.

[acharad]

in the whole video, we have briefed verbally for specs of devices and watched only "Adreno" performance. But there is no PowerVR performance info.

[noobwalker93]

the g2 is not a snapdragon its called a "scorpian" and there's a difference its clocked at 800mhz not 1ghz

[Chaniyth]

@noobwalker93

Actually it is a Snapdragon CPU, modle number MSM7230 to be exact, and yes it is called "scorpion" thats the internal name of the CPU, however it is a 800 MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7230.

[edsolp]

Comparison is about Android 2.1 vs Android 2.2,

too bad not using both Android 2.2 to compare

really Adreno 205 vs PowerVR SGX540.

[lightningwar123]

Dude where did you get this benchmark

[imalwayswatchingu00]

G2 is qualcomm adreno 205.

G2 2nd gen snapdragon

Just typed that here because I had to remember it, but eh.

I'll post it too.

[biggerben2010]

POWERVR SGX 540 CRUSHED

Adreno 300 more Powerful.

[biggerben2010]

Aderno 220 is going to be better than SGX

[dasupasin]

Why do you show the back? There's nothing special on the back,

[imahavedat]

Samsung Galaxy S suffers lag with its sh!t RFS outdated filing system.

Put 2.2.1 on it, with an updated filing system should perform much better.

Hopefully Samsung will pull their heads out of their arse's and put ext4 file system on Galaxy S. Bet it will beat the G2.

[KakkoiiBaka]

@imahavedat My gaming performance mark on Smartbench 2010 with my Galaxy S Captivate running stock 2.1 is almost double that of the G2. 2233 points vs the G2's 1396 points. But the productivity score is lower than the G2's. So yeah, with 2.2 and a file system patch, it will run laps around the G2 in every aspect, not just gaming.

[Danaceb]

snapdragon was crap from the start, it never was good enough to become outdated...it was launched that way. What a worthless mealy mouthed video.

[Tableuraz]

@Danaceb You should read the test on planet android . com the Adreno 205 beats the PowerVR SGX 540 with a slower processor ;-)

[K1ngggg]

@Tableuraz no SGS had 2.1

[adilgangsta1]

@Tableuraz galaxy s was using 2.1 with the test the latest 2.2.1 the galaxy s stil is king

[Metalfreak760]

hey how do you download that software on ur phone? i cant find the apk app for it. i want to run it on my, mytouch 4g.

[crazymelkor]

We'll have to wait until 2.2 comes to make an apples to apples comparison. I'd put my faith in XDA rather than Samsung to get it out sooner. They already have a beta Froyo on the Epic.

[OverWatchWilly]

Is there anywhere we can download 3dmarkmobile for android?

[antkung2009]

AMD AMD AMD !!!!!

[Dj3dda]

Why aren't Intel or AMD doing CPU's or even GPCPU like AMD is working on for laptops but for smartphones? Instead of these "lesser" processor manufacturers like qualcom?

[jords1225r]

@Dj3dda Quite simply - x86, which is the architecture used by intel and AMD, cannot come close to ARM (which qualcomm, TI, samsung etc license and build their SOC's from), in terms of power consumption. ARM has always performed very well at this, and I can't see x86 catching up soon. It just wasn't designed for low power consumption like ARM was.

I also don't think it's fair to call qualcomm a lesser manufacturer - they don't play in the desktop market, sure, but they are big in mobile.

[sota767]

Gotta put the mic a little farther away from where you're speaking next time.

[Youpartyte]

where do you get the benchmark? any links to download?

[eaturcrap]

1:28 you call it the Srint Evo. I think you meant Epic.
