Wizzard faster than Magician according 2 mobile-review bench

[parisp]

HTC Wizzard seems to be 1/2 times faster than the Magician even thought the processor is rated slower in MHz rating.

Judging from the PC arena where a Pentium M processor @ 2.0 GHz performs as fast as a Pentium 4 processor @ 3.8GHz i beleive we are going to be happy about the Wizzards performance once we see more detailed benchmarks.

The benchmark table found below was found in a review about another device (http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-tornado-en.shtml) but it includes Wizzard and Magician Benchmark numbers as well.

[parisp]

yes they are indeed encouraging, i hope to see more detailed figures soon in order to decide whether to go for the device or not. lets all hope that there gonna be plenty of reviews once the device hits the streets.

Its the ol AMD Itel thing where it sounds worse but in fact its not that bad actually... the question here is "sound the bench march still be in Mhz or MIPS ?" to help compaire...

Although the wizard fares better than the magician... Java for me is not convincing enough. You can check out www.jbenchmark.com for a complete database of java benchmark on mobile phone/smartphone/pda-phone.

Check out HP iPAQ Hx4700... It only manage a mere 31 point on the same benchmark.

It totally depends on what version the Java runtime it was running on.
