Motorola were quick to tell us that we're testing on pre-release RAZR i here -- software updates may arrive before the device does, but these figures below should give you a good estimate at what the 2GHz Intel processor can do. We've pitched it against the US-bound Droid RAZR M, with a capable dual-core Snapdragon S4 clocked at 1.5GHz, and ZTE's Grand X IN, which houses Intel's 1.6MHz Medfield Z2460 and Android ICS.
| Motorola Droid RAZR M | Motorola RAZR i | ZTE Grand X IN | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quadrant | 4,944 | 4,125 | 2,710 |
| Vellamo | 2,442 | 1,906 | 1,550 |
| SunSpider 0.9.1 (ms) | 1,951 | 1,062 | 1,355 |
| AnTuTu | 6,364 | 6,175 | N/A |
| GLBenchmark Egypt Offscreen (fps) | 56 | 41 | N/A |
| CF-Bench | 9,392 | 2,973 | 873 |
| SunSpider: lower scores are better | |||
So what do all these numbers mean? Well, Intel's 2GHz processor is pretty capable. Although the RAZR i only bests the RAZR M on SunSpider browser performance (something that Intel's been focusing on with its mobile hardware), it's a substantial score difference. Otherwise, the Europe-bound RAZR skates pretty close, if behind the RAZR M's benchmarks. There's a hiccup on the CF-Bench score, something that we also noted on the Grand X IN. While both the ZTE and Motorola devices are running Android 4.0, there's still a tangible difference in these early benchmarks -- perhaps testament to both Motorola and Google's proximity and the debut of Intel's faster 2GHz Medfield processor. We'll be testing out those power-saving promises from the chipmaker over the next few days.
