Doubt it, all of the listed devices have dual core processors and/or really high level specs. we could probably make it run but I doubt it would be very playable.

The galaxy s line has a better GPU than the droid x or x2. The x2 has a better processor than this phone but not as good of a gpu so the difference would lean towards this. But for a game as intensive as that, you would need both a high end processor and a good gpu to make it run well. Im not saying our phone wont be able to handle it at all, but if it is installable for us then it will likely be a mediocre experience.

Current have an Inc, Hoping to switch soon. Just wondering, how is performance in 3d applications and gaming? Specifically N64oid. Thanks!

I don't have tons of info for you, but I can tell you this... N64oid wouldn't work at all on my fascinate, I could hear sound but no video at all.... Goldeneye 007 (the only game I really care about lol) plays on my tb, but it is a lil choppy, but the app is also very young so I think that has something to do with it....

True. It was also pulled from the market until the dev could improve it.
Would you mind trying Orcarina of Time? It runs about 70% speed on the Inc.

I can tell you this, havenf played alot of games but this phone makes the dinc feel almost slow. And i LOVE the dinc. But the extra ram and upgraded processor really make for a flawless experience. If u are thinkibg about getting it. Do it

I have the 5 vibrations and blinking led issue on my Inc and the TB is definitely what I would get.
Thanks for the replies, guys!

Ocarina of time runs seamlessly just tried it and it literally runs smooth as butter.

Hello I just can say that I always tried to play the Monopoly HD game on my previous Android phones ( Droid 2,dinc,Droid x,fascinate,Samsung galaxy tab) and I could install but never open it until now with this thunderbolt so that should mean something I guess lol

Super Mario 64 Runs Smooth Too. The Graphics are good enough. Way better than old gen Snapdragons SoC for shure. better than Droid X and on par or Near Galaxy S from what people say (Seems bout right to me too). Also to guy with Fascinate, Games worked good for me on my old fascinate. Maybe it depends on game.
I'm coming from the inc, and the performance is much better. Easiest way to tell is by using a live wallpaper. They are much smoother now with the better gpu.

I too came from the inc. It's definitely better in terms of performance especially graphics. The extra screen size makes everything more enjoyable too.
Sent from my Thunderbolt!
I am not familiar with android os, so i wanted to ask people who have some knowledge behind it a question.
What do you see improving with the thunderbolt when gingerbread gets released?
Do you think the thunderbolt will be able to improve its chances to still stand out against the dual-core phones with the help of 2.3?
I love my thunderbolt, it is my very first Android OS device and i am glad to be an early adopter of the 4g LTE network, i do personally feel that i put myself in a rough position because i chose a phone with a single core. Should i feel this way?
Thanks XDA, i've spent so many hours learning about phones in general on this board. it is my new home!
No, single core is great.
1. Apps must be written to utilize dual core (the thunderbolt can be overclocked to 2ghz, which is much faster than needed)
2. Any phone you buy will be outdated in terms of current technology within 6 months. (Don't compare to other technology. Compare to apps you want to run. There are no foreseeable apps the thunderbolt can't run well)
Imho, dual core is currently just a gimmick to attract buyers and I don't think it will be necessary to own one for about 2 years.
I've used the attic, compared to thunderbolt you can't even notice a speed difference.
As for the usual bionic/thunderbolt debate. I believe the Ram is more important then dual core ATM. And if the bionic really only has 512, the thunderbolt will do perfectly fine stacked against it.

A 1GHz dual core processor is not 2GHz. Its 1GHz, both cores running at 500MHz.

i've played with an Atrix before the TB came out. The dual core did nothing for it. My TB is noticeably faster than the Atrix was. Plus ATT 4G service is a joke.
As far as differences between 22 and 23, check this out:
http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-android-2-2-froyo-and-android-2-3-gingerbread/
Probably not alot to to write home about, but i def like the gingerbread keyboard over the froyo keyboard.
Ive never seen a dual core referred to as the speed of the 2 cores added. Every dual core I've heard of refers to the speed of the individual processors. ie, all the new ones (tegra 2, exynos, evo 3d snapdragon) have 2 cores each at 1 ghz
Leading to the equation:
2 x 1 ghz cores != 1 x 2 ghz core != 2 x 500 mhz cores
You have nothing to worry about. The snapdragon CPU is second generation with great performance and low power, and It's coupled with adreno 205 graphics which is very capable. Your phone with be high end for easily 1.5 years matching the other phones out there. I'm not too worried about dual core CPU's yet because no software is taking advantage of it yet. And android OS won't be updated to utilize dual core till version 2.4. So you have nothing to worry about.
Hell my nexus one I still find top notch in my opinion.
I be worried about the quad cores coming out by the end of q3. That's what I want. I love my tb. I won it in a local contest and I still have my upgrade. Can you say win

Lol, no he meant the quad cores processors coming out like the Tegra 3.
He said quad core not quadrant scores.

Totally agree Roger. The real problem with dual core is Android software is not written to take full advantage of both cores. This was evident when I had a chance to play with my friends LG Optimus 2X. FPS was fantastic on nenamark averaging just below 80. All games in the Tegra zone played great. However, when it came to day to day stuff it lagged. For example, sometimes it took two swipes for the screen to register a touch. Web pages with heavy flash had awful load times.

Uhh No. Its a Single Processor with 2 cores both running at 1ghz. none are run at 500 mhz.
and As for Quad Cores and Dual Cores, Im Loving the Battery life they are gonna bring to us. The Point isn't just performance but also low Energy Usage.

And while applications might not be specifically written for dual core, the OS is. That alone provides some improvement.
But whatever. Our processor will be fine for quite some time.
And correct, a 1GHz dual core runs at 2x1GHz, not 2x500Mhz
Anyway we're not going to see gingerbread here for at least 4 months
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
As for the OP, I don't think enough improvements from 2.2-2.3 are going to be done to make it the same as an optimized dual core. Also, I don't think stock HTC Sense 2.3 will have much of a visual difference than stock 2.2 Sense. Once the 2.3 update comes out, I'll probably still stick with a custom ROM that is 2.2 until the 2.3 custom ROM's come out.
What I hope that HTC fixes is the GPS issues. The "fix" that is in the development forum (turning off Google Location Services) has worked wonders for me, but I'm hoping HTC just fixes it in a firmware or software update sometime in the future.

Does this phone run as smooth as an iphone??? I'm asking because I kno that androids os has a reputation for running clunky compared to the iphone. I personally own and love my Samsung Vibrant phone. It's currently rooted and I flashed Teamwhiskeys rom on it. It now runs the way it shouldve when I got got it ! However, there are moments of slowdown and slight force closes. The specs on my phone i thought would relieve people of the slowdown we tend to encounter with android phones.... apparently not.
Will dual core processors fix this???????
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
There are tons of videos, but I can tell you that the phone never freezes or lags or anything like that. It's extremely fast.
That's music to my ears. I'm hoping dual core and eventually quadcore processors end all of the "iphone runs better and is more stable than android" debates.... sounds good so far.

IPhone is not faster but menus and navigating around seems smoother due to the fact that its gpu accelerated and not due to hardware specs. However I think android will get gpu acceleration on the next release (ice cream!!)
Exactly, iPhone is gpu accelerated.

Why the g2x had SO MUCH better benchmark scores now before anyone says I'm *****ing know that I'm not I'm just asking why 2 phones with the same processors have such diff scores the photon NEVER goes over 60 fps in quadrant but the g2x gets like 100+ and out had 1080p video recording like wtf was motorola thinking sprints best motorola phone is average now a data now I'm just asking why cause that's really annoying but honestly this is just a question not *****ing again
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
because moto blur takes up more processing power ALSO the the photon has a 1ghz dual core and teh e4gt has a 1.2 ghz dual core. same ram i believe... but honestly until internet speeds are crazy increaded and battery life is maximized idc they all run around the same speed imo.
I think the G2X uses a different cpu/gpu.

Its almost the same spec,and maybe our photon dont use its full power to conserve battery? Like shut down one core or something?
another viewpoint its the drivers.

One of the things that throws of the result is the nonstandard resolution of the Photon. This odd screen size requires scaling be used to run most benchmarks full screen. On an unscaled Smartbench run the scores are much higher than scaled and are fairly close to the GSII NVidia.

There are three different CPU's used in the GSII (NVidia, Samsung, Qualcomm). The benchmarks vary with the Qualcomm being the bottom of the list.
In AnTuTu this phone scores almost half of what the Nexus 7 scores in GPU test, though it beats it in everything else.

Generally the mods affect the IO scores, I'm speaking about only the GPU scores.

The optimus 4x hd is the closest and most comparable to the optimus since it has essentially the same software and is the closest tegra 3 device to the OG.
Per antutus website, the OG beats the 4x HD in total score and GPU. It loses barely to the N7, but that is likely due to butter and software improvements. Assuming both are on the same software, the OG should perform better.
I believe anandtech said Adreno 320 is the best ARM GPU this year minus the iPad's PowerVR GPUs. It is the top android GPU.
Either way, both are great GPUs, but the S4 Pro has a better CPU.
