Take the 1GHz Scorpion core residing in Qualcomm’s current flagship Snapdragon, the MSM8x55 , duplicate it, overclock the resulting pair by 50 percent, and provides them improved graphics within the type of Adreno 220. What do you get? A barnburner by the unsexy name of MSM8x60. Yes, the 1.5GHz Mobile Development Platform Qualcomm loosed at the world at CES earlier this year has found itself prostrate on a test bench, where it has produced a few of the finest graphical performance scores yet seen on a mobile device. The taxing OpenGL ES 2.0 test you spot above shows the recent Snapdragon doubling the frame rates churned out by Motorola’s mighty Atrix 4G (which admittedly has to work harder because of its higher-res display) and fully embarrassing older generation hardware just like the EVO 4G. That’s a theme carried on throughout AnandTech’s benchmarking, which you’ll explore in full on the source link. In case you’re wondering when this world-beating dual-core chip will probably be coming to market, the answer’s that it’s already inside HTC’s imminently upcoming EVO 3D and Pyramid devices, albeit running at a tamer 1.2GHz. Exciting, eh?
