It’s pretty apparent right now that PowerVR SGX 540 still holds the lead, though the new 45 nm Qualcomms with Adreno 205 are a huge jump forwards from Adreno 200 performance wise. It’s interesting that it looks like we’re GPU or memory bandwidth bound on those new Qualcomms, as evidenced by the similar results the myTouch 4G and G2 post despite a 200 MHz CPU clock disparity.
When you note the results from the iPhone 3GS results against those of the iPhone 4 and the iPad (which all use the same GPU; the PowerVR SGX 535) it is clear that the size of the iPad’s screen and the iPhone 4′s Retina Display is killing fill rate. Reducing the benchmarked frame-rate by up to a third for newer iOS devices. This is something I touched on the moment we heard the specs of the iPad, and the iPhone 4.
Here is GLBenchmark 2.0 running on the Nexus S…
