Awesome! It's the first performance comparison I've seen on the new XScale
PXA320 processor by Marvell. Judging from the video, it looks like the
PXA320 processor will be even more successful on the market than its
predecessor from Intel, the PXA270.

Nvidia Tegra2 ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core performance for web browsing
Here's a demonstration showing that the second core in ARM Cortex-A9 processors allow for at least 50% performance improvement for such applications as the ...
The 2nd core is 'turned off' physically AND software wise? Software
optimized to run on dual core processors will not run as well as the same
as software optimized to run on a single core. You need a board designed
exactly the same EXCEPT designed to run on a single core, not just a second
core 'turned off'. I'm not trying to say the dual core isn't really going
to be faster, of course it is! You just need to run the right parameters or
the comparison is meaningless. Apples and Androids....! ;)
I tend to doubt it. If desktop PC CPU architectures are going to change why
wouldn't they use something made for that application like say AMD's FX?
Also, I personally like big powerful CPUs more than mobile platforms which
the ARM is geared towards. Don't get me wrong, I love ARM in any mobile
system, but I just don't think it could take out the x86 entirely. x86 has
too much presteige and large system compatibility.
What are you basing that on? The board was designed to work with the A9, so
both boards above are fully compliant with the design, one simply has a
core turned off. Using different boards would result in a non like-for-like
test. If anything, the board running on one core has less contention! This
is meant to be a real world demo showing the benefits of Multi-Processing
when loading webpages, and it does that.
Android 2.2 is not really optimized for dual core cpu. Android 2.3 which
will be coming out within a few weeks from now should be optimized for dual
core cpu;s and therefore should run much much smoother/faster
You need to compare a dual core board to one that was designed to run as a
single core board. It's no wonder the 'single core' board is slower because
it wasn't designed to operate with only one core.
@swordstool You're right, but in this case the software is stock Android,
which is optimised for single core processors and the dual-cored one has
the disadvantage.
