The New iPhone 3GS is The Best Product of its Kind in The Market Tech Tests Confirm

If you have bought the iPhone 3GS you are not regretting it, in fact, quite the contrary, you own the best product of its kind in the world. If you don’t have the sophisticated gadget already, the performance data numbers of this product will make you run to the store.
The tests measuring the performance of the new iPhone 3GS and on the older 3G model are done through the GLBenchmark OpenGL benchmark. The person behind the experiments is Laszlo Kishonti, known for his JBenchmark benchmark suite. Virtually, all low-level and texture filter tests show that the 3GS is faster and more powerful than its closest rivals. Just for comparison – the Nokia N95 8GB and the 3G obtained from 555 to 600,000 triangles per second while the new iPhone produced almost ten times as much – 5.2 million in the linear texture filter test. The 3GS also has higher benchmarks than the two in the CPU tests with considerably higher floating-point performance. The only lower scores compared to its major competitor the new iPhone got on the swapbuffer speed benchmark.
Do not be deceived by the poorer results the 3Gs obtained on some of the tests. This simply occurred, because, according to Kishonti, the manufacturers have used newer technologies that the testing system could not intake and evaluate accurately. The graphics core of the new iPhone is PowerVR SGX, which is more sophisticated than the PowerVR MBX. The new version has a tile-based deferred rendering, which is shader driven. It also supports OpenGL ES 2.0, while the benchmarks in the used testing program are applicable only to the older OpenGL 1.0 and 1.1, which generated the confusing test results.
Prominent minds in the field speculate that the 3GS has an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, which is faster and more powerful thanks to using symmetric, in-order pipelines and an innovative media accelerator unit.
