At Qualcomm’s IQ India event here in New Delhi, we got a chance to get our hands on some of the latest development hardware that Qualcomm has. The latest quadcore mobile processor ie the Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ 8064) was shown off in the form of its tablet reference design. The chip uses 4 krait cores alongside the Adreno 320 GPU.
As part of the benchmarking workshop, we ran a range of tests on it to judge performance and the figures were some of the best we’ve seen so far. A quick test on the Quadrant benchmark resulted in a score of 7641 points which is the best we have seen for a device till now.
