The Geekbench 2 Stream test is purely a bandwidth test, that doesn't touch I/O, given the HTC One scores in the same area as the Nexus 4, my money is firmly on LPDDR2, as per HTC's spec list. Can't wait for the new GLBenchmark!
Playing devil's advocate here. Wouldn't it be wierd, if Qualcomm's updated Adreno 320 was getting most of its speed improvement from the higher bandwidth of LPDDR3, but HTC chose DDR2 instead.
yes that would be too ironic but such stuff are always possible with HTC...they worked pretty closely with qualcomm on this, in fact this device was the main real device launch for s600, really odd they went with DDR2
Interestingly, the highest Nexus 4 score in Egypt HD 1080 offscreen is now 33.7 FPS. This must have been achieved with a custom kernel that overclocks the GPU to 450 MHz and resolves the premature throttling, bricked kernel does this.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but no shipping device currently uses LPDDR3, I smell supply issues at work. If you like conspiracies, HTC could play the + game, in 6 months launch a 'new' HTC One + with LPDDR3 and faster 1.9 GHz Snapdragon 600, nice boost in benchmarks and press coverage for little cost to HTC.
Posted it in another thread, but here are some Antutu Ram results: (I dont know how viable/usefull they are!)
Htc one: 4189/4194
Butterfly: 3441
Xperia Z: 3158
Droid DNA: 3338
If Phonesarea is correct, the dna/butterfly uses ddr2 533mhz ram. So i think Xperia Z uses the same.
Quadrant Memory results:
One: 11094
Xperia Z: ~9800
Butterfly: ~9800
So it seems like the ram is faster. But fast enough to be DDR3?
Of course not, but if you have been using an HTC device since their WM days, you just cannot help but be frustrated.
If you find me a single HTC device that didn't have 1 flaw I will be amazed. When I say flaw, I don't mean crappier screen, or crap speaker quality. I mean:
1. No LED flash (when previous model had it)
2. No LED indicator (when previous model had it)
3. 512 MB less ram then competition (or 1gb less in the case of the One X)
I could go on and on... none of these have been deal breaking, but they are not so insignificant that we can easily ignore it. After all these generations of devices, I cannot help but agree with some people who say that HTC does this on purpose.
Funny thing is... I have made this complaint on the forum for every device they have released since the DHD. They were notorious for this during the WM days, then they improved. But as soon as the Sensation came out... it was another lackluster device.
Then the One X with 1 GB of ram?!?
Now the HTC One with DDR2 instead of DD3.
I'll reiterate: This isn't necessarily a deal breaker for me, but it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth, especially because I know HTC is better then this.
Having seen a Youtube video of a Geekbench run on a HTC One, I compared it to the Nexus 4, which uses a Qualcomm S4 Pro with LPDDR2 memory, in the Stream test, which measures memory bandwidth, both devices score very close to each other. If the HTC One did use LPDDR3, it should be scoring much higher in that test, in theory up to 50% faster. From those tests, I now believe that HTC's website is correct and it uses LPDDR2.

Stream performance: Stream workloads measure memory bandwidth. Geekbench 2 uses tests based on the STREAM benchmarks developed John D. McCalpin. Software working with large amounts of data (e.g., digital content creation) relies on good memory bandwidth performance to keep the processor busy.
I'm not too convinced about your proof; only because I've seen benchmark where the One scored significantly higher than the nexus 4.
I'm searching for those scores now....

...... Stay tuned folks

Dear SAMSUNG FAN s3 also has same 1gb ram lol..... Notorious kids
But na version is 20‰ more weak than internacional version. Is only dual core.Dear retarded HTC Fan boy:
The NA GS3 had 2GB of Ram in the NA Model, which is where I'm from TY very much.
Just for the record, I have been using HTC devices for over 10 years and have probaly owned more Cell Phones (let alone HTC branded ones) then u have over your entire life span
So kindly STFU :angel:
If u can't stand HTC being critisized you should take some business courses in University and learn about why customer loyalty such as yours is a bad thing for consumers.
Geez... hate ppl like the quoted posters, attacking ppl for no reason.
isnt the point of this thread that MAYBE the phone uses ddr3 and not ddr2 as HTC have said?Of course not, but if you have been using an HTC device since their WM days, you just cannot help but be frustrated.

Well yes but even if he has it in his hands he can't tell, it's not written anywhere
But u can ask him to run a GLBenchmark 2.5 Egypt HD C24Z16 - Offscreen (1080p) test, on a full battery, no power saving and a clean run (just this test standalone)
