Rumored dual-core processor for upcoming HTC HD3 gets debunked

Wednesday 8 September 2010 @ 1:49 pm

And just like that, our hopes for a dual-core 1.5 GHz HTC HD3 are shattered.  Qualcomm has just announced that their dual-core 1.5 GHz chips will not ship until very late in Q4 which means that they will not make their way into consumer products until late 2011.  The 1.2 GHz processors from Qualcomm will be showing up a lot sooner, though early Q1 of 2011 is most likely the soonest we will see them on the market.

At this point, it’s hard to say what processor the rumored HTC HD3 will feature.  There are other dual-core processors available from other manufacturers, but based on HTC’s history of using Qualcomm processors in their phones, it’s highly unlikely that they will be changing that relationship any time soon.

More clues point to dual-core 1.5GHz processor for the HTC Glacier

Tuesday 10 August 2010 @ 9:45 am

We’re still not 100% sure that the upcoming HTC Glacier will actually feature a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, but new investigative work by AlienBabelTech seems to be pretty convincing.  Last week they were able to unearth benchmark scores for the HTC Glacier which were much higher than HTC’s current Android handset’s running on Qualcomm’s 1GHz single-core processors.  The benchmarks themselves didn’t indicate which processor was powering the HTC Glacier, but the assumption was made that HTC was using Qualcomm’s new dual core technology. 

The GPU score on the HTC Glacier is about 87% of the score of the Samsung Galaxy S using the PowerVR SGX 540 GPU. Samsung has stated that the Hummingbird processor is capable of processing up to 90 million triangles per second (MTPS). For confirmation on that watch this Samsung Galaxy S keynote video around the 3:45 mark. Now here’s an interesting fact: Qualcomm states that the QSD8672 can process up to 80 million triangles per second. So what’s 80 MTPS divided by 90 MTPS ? The answer is around 88% which is almost the same percentage of performance from the above result.

What we have here is still pure speculation, but we want to thank AlienBabelTech for crunching the numbers.  We’ve known for a long time that HTC is planning something special for Project Emerald.  And if you ask us, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor is definitely something special.
