First gpu benchmark Qualcomms 28nm chip appears

In the database of the graphics benchmark NenaMark score appeared who comes from a device with the Qualcomm MSM8960-soc. The Adreno 225 gpu in Qualcomms not yet published chip scores an impressive score.

That reports GSMArena. Probably is the score obtained on a ontwikkelaarstoestel of Qualcomm itself. The unknown device has a screen resolution of 1024×600 pixels and runs on version 4.0.3 of Android. The dual-core MSM8960-soc, which are baked on 28nm, it has a clock speed of 1.5 GHz.

The device knows in the NenaMark benchmark a score drop of 54,90 fps. GSMArena reports that a Galaxy S II in the same benchmark, a score of 46,2 fps achieves. Because the screen of that phone has a resolution of only 800×480 pixels, the Adreno 225 gpu on paper, a pretty powerful thing.

The MSM8960-soc is a chip from Qualcomms new S4 series, which is based on a new processorontwerp called Krait. These processors should be a lot faster than the Scorpion core, which the company worked so far. The Krait chips should go up against the Cortex A15 design from ARM, Samsung, Texas Instruments and Nvidia will be used.
