personal story of "suck it, iphone"

Cpu processes numbers quickly, but whilst the gpu is not up to par with the a4 and probably not the hummingbird's gpu, going by what you have said, but still need to read up on it, just hope that HTC doesn't bork the later releases with those two updated adreno gpu scorpion cores. If so, sorry, bye bye HTC. I love the Evo, but just like any other phone, its really great in some things, but in other things, another phone would be better, especially for gpu intensive stuff. When playing games, I can see a huge difference, others may not, but I do, that's where personal needs come in, hence why I have 3 phones, albeit, 3gs is disconnected, don't like the bill. Wish it was on Sprint, lol.

Actually based on triangles per second and a few other GPU tests, the hummingbird CPU in the A4 and galaxy S, with enough power, is slated to outperform the scopion core as far as GPU goes.

I would venture that the iPhone 4 will outperform a scorpion running android grahics/games wise, but come up short general speed wise.

What will really be interesting is a scorpion running wp7 with silverlight and the GPU performance interacting with the OS, I predict that it will have mind-blowing graphics, better than iPhone games, but will not run quite as smoothly.

we'll wait and see though,
