When Project Emerald programme broke, there was every sorts of reflection close what it could be. Despite every the gossip mongering and speculation, we ease don’t hit a commendation from T-Mobile what it is. But, we hit to ready the gossip works turning, so here we are with added addition. The HTC Glacier is, supposedly, the figure that module goad T-Mobile’s Emerald emergence, and it’s actually HTC’s dual-core processor device.

Not exclusive do we hit the name, but thanks to the counsel we meet received, we hit whatever images that allow benchmarks condemned with the HTC Glacier, against devices aforementioned the Droid X and HTC EVO 4G. The advisor was scanning the GLBenchmark 1.1 database, and they managed to become crossways a newborn device. Yeah, you guessed it: the Glacier. And, patch that’s not elating in of itself, the results therein are definitely interesting.

As we are substantially aware, the HTC EVO 4G features a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and the Droid X features a 1GHz OMAP processor. Both of them are workhorses in their possess right, but according to these criterion scores, discolour in comparability to whatever the Glacier is. Testing the benchmarks versus, say, the iPhone 4, T-Mobile’s Samsung Vibrant, and the EVO 4G pulled whatever engrossing results.

The Glacier managed to vantage 1432 frames in the GLBenchmark Pro ES 1.1 mainframe Skinning effort consistently. While the Droid X reached 856 frames, the EVO managed 516 frames, and the G1 pulled a herb 113 frames. While the iPhone 4 did 1016 frames. Shockingly enough, or perhaps not at all, the Vibrant reached 1409 frames. So, with those numbers, especially against the 1GHz Snapdragon processor in the EVO, the advisor believes that the 1432 frames (versus 516) effectuation that the Glacier could rattling substantially be the dual-core monstrosity that we’ve every been inactivity for.

We’re skeptical, but at the aforementioned time, the results intercommunicate for themselves. Even if the Hummingbird processor in the Vibrant managed to ready up, there’s definitely a existence that the Glacier is indeed conception of Project Emerald. Now, as always, the poem inactivity begins. We’ll be trusty to ready our feelers discover for more aggregation most Project Emerald and the Glacier itself. For more aggregation most the tests the advisor did, nous on finished the maker link.
