Intel Xscale Vs Qualcomm

Same movie is store on same brand memory card & place into HTC TyTn II/HTC Touch Dual/LG KS20 & MWg ATOM V.
this demo shows that Intel chip processor is still the best for PDA.

great demo, good point. . .well made

sort it out HTC

N92 may be good in video capturing but not playing back DIVX or MOV in 30fps. i have that phone, i will record and post it shortly compare with my xda2 with intel chip.

the MWg Atom V had a higher clockspeed than all the other 3 anyway.. 520 MHz vs 400 Mhz. not completely fair if you ask me.

I have PDA without camera and video playback is really important for me. This thing would be much less useful if I couldn't watch a smooth videos/movies in good quality. PDAs are pocket computers, I don't make photos with my PC but use it to watch videos, run many useful apps, play games, connect to web - and PDA is also meant for it. You want to make photos and videos? Buy a cheap compact camera, most of them beat any PDA or phone.

He isn't right at all. It's not just about playing videos smoothly. Weak processors can handle weak compression smoothly, but the point is you'll get poor quality of video and a huge filesize. So better compression (like H.264) = more/longer videos with better quality and that definitely needs strong processor like XScale. Qualcomm is just too weak for that. With the current capacity of internal/external flash memories the compression type really matters.

I think Qualcomm isn't going to beat Intel/Marvell processors, they make mediocre chips and are aware of it. It's HTC that makes them popular. There are some priorities for phone/pda users and most of them prefer overall design, eyecandy GUI, neat software for GPS ... and processor power? Who cares, that sounds nerdy.

I'd like to see another video that compares animated 3D graphs rendered by XScale and Qualcomm in Spacetime.

Agreed. Intel makes One of the world's most powerful processors(Core i7). What makes qualcomm think they can beat intel?

[n4v1ns]

I still have my old ipaq 5450 it's still so cool with its fingerprint reader and joystick- like d -pad,

[qwer55555555]

agreed

[valdr666]

Qualcomm sucks and HTC killed Pocket PCs, they never made any, just pda-phones! The technology they use is ancient, look at old good Axims and iPAQs that was the way to go, but now Pocket PCs - rest in peace :/

mahendrarc is right this video is just misleadiing, people might thought the intel is superior now without knowing the compression rate holds the key here.

[mahendrarc]

If PDA are not focused here for camera then discussing on Video playback is also useless here. Anyways thanks for posting your opinion. And yes... if you get a chance try some workaround on nokia n-series. they are fantastic and sure can play divx smoothly. I dont use it only because I am too used to Touchscreen. Else these latest Symbian phones are at top of the world and there is no doubt to anyone about it. I am looking forward in future versions of nokia with Touchscreen.
