That is a 32% increase!!
A 32% increase in processing power over a 5-year timespan is not that great


Take this analogy into consideration:

My Athlon 1.4 Ghz used 2-3x more power than my Athlon 64 X2 4400+ @ 2.4Ghz. My new processor also runs at around 30 degrees Celcius, whereas my old chip ran at 70 or higher, even with aftermarket cooling.

Point is, just because newer chips are faster, doesn't mean they should use more juice. The opposite should be true, and IS for most devices.

HTC just needs to fix the radio. Simple as that.
