I've been interested in the new generation of phones based on this chip also, from AnandTech's forums found the comparison below. The main selling point of the MT6589 SoC is its low cost and low power, so it may not be the fastest, but not many apps or phones take advantage of all the quad-core power either. It gives the most power/watt, and higher bang for the buck.

Oh man those numbers are awful! Its even below a dual krait!
TBH I wouldn't use "cheap " to describe it since the few decent phones using the older 6577 are as much as those with better silicon.
Take the zte U with a tegra3, costs the same that a jiayu G3 and that one can barely run GTAVC from what I seen.
Most 6589 models are on presale at almost the same than a nexus 4, too bad that one is still out of stock. Seriously what was google thinking selling a quad krait for 300? Of course demand was going to be high.
Of all the benchmarks listed, Antutu is what I believe the most, Quadrant is the least reliable, and has a history of manufacturers easily gaming it. Not sure about the HTML one, but that's a very specific benchmark too. As for pricing, www.fastcardtech.com seems to have good prices, and the MT6589 ones are pre-selling at $220-$250 shipped to the U.S.
Here's the older MT6577 Dualcore JiaYu G3 running GTAVC, looks ok to me:
http://youtu.be/mxsmAfZ2ZEk
The G3 has 1280x720p resolution, which may be too taxing for the older dualcore. The G2S, released later with qHD display is probably a better match (Around $185-200). MT6589 is supposed to have a much better GPU.
Well in antutu its still below everything but the dual krait by a considerable margin.
At 250 its just 50 bucks less than the nexus 4, so as I said its not cheap, just cheaper.
Beidou has announced a 720p tegra3 phone for just 160, which will he around 200 on sites like fastcard.
As for gta, have you seen how laggy it is? And that with everything toned down at the beginning of the video.
Have in mind that mt6589 is clocked to 1-1.2 GHz while other socs are from 1.4-1.7. Also the firmware is preproduction.
Jiayu has announced S1 with 1.5GHz mt6589 which can match a tegra3 on performance and have lower consumption at the same time.
About the mt6577 on jiayu g3 is the only dual core besides krait that handles an 720p screen. You can't compare its gaming performance with an other dual core running on a device with lower resolution.

Got a link to that? Because most benchs i seen struggle to get past 10k points, while the tegra3 its just a tad short of 20k.
And the S1 is going to have a 1.5 ghz quad S4, not a mtk, thats why its expensive

Yeah next time try to post a link to a non-spam blog that isn't written in engrish
Keep in mind MediaTek is a Taiwanese company, so the people to get the first & closest look will not be native English speakers. The article provides some interesting tidbits not found in others. Here's an english friendly take:

Gizchina is also foreign and has some grammar issues but the info is good, gizmochina tends to say whatever it wants to linkbait.
Btw that link was interesting, any idea where I can buy that Canvas phone?

Which is the overall better processor? I've heard that OMAP3430 is better for graphics because it has a dedicated GPU and snapdragon is better for overall snappyness. I've debating between the Motorola Droid or waiting out for the HTC Passion. I'm more interested in video playback and browsing speeds so which of these processors would be better for those?
Passion has only been rumored to be out, its not actually out, and no specs have been out for it.
I have seen some Android 2.0 ROMS with OMAP 3430 running at 1 GHZ, I have seen some running at 600 Mhz, so its hard to say for sure what will be out,
But I would say do not go with what the rumors tell you, until you can verify everything with 1-2 sources, with the exact same details.
Once you can do that then believe it, but at this time, i have only seen one story about Passion.
I have seen stuff about HTC Dragon that says 1 Ghz Snapdragon, but looking inside a Dragon ROM, and its filled with OMAP reference to everything (1500 OMAP reference, and 5 Qualcomm Reference) So what does that mean, its been rumored for SnapDragon, but I tend to think otherwise.
Just for the record snapdragon too has dedicated GPU - AMD z430(now rebranded adreno 200) and their performance is similar.

yup, in Barcelona, back in February, I've played Price of persia running at WVGA on the Toshi TG01 (1 GHz Snapdragon) pretty much - the 3D performance was pretty good. also see my dedicated article & video.
interesting, so it seems the snapdragon is in another league... i had no idea it had a dedicated GPU.

Your assessment of which is faster is true. The GPU on the OMAP is a PowerVR SGX which performs better than the Snapdragon GPU which is an AMD Z430. I hope someone else can provide more details on what exactly that means for running applications like the new google navigator.
With screen of 800x480 or above, a fast GPU is a must. With all those graphic applications (games, video, GPS maps, etc), a phone will need high speed graphics. One does not need a number crunching CPU on phone. The phone/processor which has better and faster graphic processor will win.
2D graphics operations aren't hardware-accelerated (in WinMo, at least).

title says it all.
Is that Wikipedia? lol
Anyways, from what I've learned, the 8660/8260 are mixes of A8 and A9.
Considering it lists the single core snapdragons as a8, and the dual core snapdragon as a9, when they both contain the same cpu design, that source clearly has issues. Its neither a8 nor a9 but performance wise its somewhere in between. Though it has better neon performance than both.
The Orion cpu is still much more effcient and better anyway... it is also equipped with a better gpu (mali 400)
Its based off the 8's design, just a bit modified.
The dual core snapdragon also includes asynchronous clocking of the cores which depending on the workload could make it more battery efficient.
It's completely irrelevant anyway.
ARM is the company who gives licenses to other company to use their technology, but it's not a final product.
The thing that matters is the actual performance.
As mentioned before, ARM is the company whose designs all of these CPUs are based upon.
Apple, Samsung, nvidia, Qualcomm, TI, LG, and others license these designs and are at liberty to make changes to how they behave.
The differences between all of the dual-core versions from these companies is vast, not taking into consideration which GPU they use.
The Tegra 2, for example, doesn't have the per-core throttling that Qualcomm and others will probably have. This is probably a result of how quick to market the Tegra 2 was and how efficiently nvidia can produce chips.
It's all very fascinating, and I'm looking forward to owning an A5, Tegra 2, and MSM at the same time.

Despite having "vast" differences there are very few differences speed differences between CPUS.
The biggest differences between the hummingbird and the snapdragon is the GPU.
actually it s not A9 nor A8, it is at base an enhanced A8 that is similar to A9 architecture in many ways, but has some tweaks up it sleves, Qualcomm call this architecture "Scorpio"
hope this will clear it up:http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011...-cpu-and-gpu-chipsets-coming-later-this-year/
^^ I agree. I did some research into the A8, A9, and core differences again last night. The MSM chip used in the Sensation is a much-modified A8. Qualcomm loves to tinker with the ARM designs.
I do think it's still probably a better chip than the Tegra2, but not the A5/Exy.
Well,it really isn't A8 nor A9.We could say Qualcomm has its "own'' architecture.The Snapdragon's first generation(HD2,Desire etc) was very very close to the A8.The second gen Snapdragon is more A9 than A8.Enhanced chipsets,faster memories,larger RAM etc are all part of it.And Qualcomm's were the only single-core chipsets that could boast this much.Overclockable @2+ GHz without getting fried?I am running my Desire HD daily @1.8GHz and it's stable,it doesn't get hot and it feels faster and smoother than everything I have laid hands onto.
I am very excited to see what the Sensation will bring.AND if it'll rival the Galaxy S 2.

regardless of if it is closer to a9 or not, it's competitors are putting up better benchmarks, so we end up getting ****tier hardware.

We've gotten a few peeks at Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon chips, codenamed Krait, but now we've got a proper roadmap, including time frames for release, model numbers, and even details about the memory channels. Glancing at the slide above doesn't reveal anything terribly surprising -- the dual-core 8960 (LTE), 8270 (HSPA), and 8260A (HSPA+) will all be shipping to manufacturers later this quarter, in speeds ranging from 1.5GHz to 1.7GHz and come packing the latest Adreno 225 GPU. In Q3 of next year Qualcomm's 28nm tech will trickle down from the high-end to mid-range phones, just ahead of the launch of those quad-core, 2GHz mobile monsters the company teased back in February. Check out the full PDF presentation at the source for more nitty-gritty details."

Seriously though,for me,no software keyboard on a tablet can compare to the physical keyboard of my PC/Laptop.With the phones it goes otherwise.I don't like these QWERTYs with their tiny keys.
Tablet + USB/Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and who needs a laptop?
I will soon became mental and hospitalized, my budget can't keep up with all this new technology..
Road maps rarely stick and you are looking for at least a two quarter difference between when it ships and when it actually shows up in phones.
Battery life truly is a big issue though. I would think it would get to a point where they would not create these more powerful processors because of the ridiculous lack of battery technology over the years. Why would you continue to develop something battery hungry for a product that at some point would negate the effectiveness of it due to the bulk added from a larger battery.
I just got an Atrix though, and i'm wondering why it was easy for them to pack a 1750 battery in a still very thin package with a dual core processor. Same with the Infuse as it is even thinner.
Quad core is already supposed to be out later this year. Qualcomm will be far behind.
Meanwhile their overclocked @1.8 cpus are doing what a stock tegra 2 does. lol
Nvidia say that they will initially be used in tablets which will hit the shops this summer, and the first quad processor phones should be in the shops in time for Christmas. They say there new quad core chips will consume less power then current dual core chips in mobile devices.
My upgrade isn't until April 2012 can't wait to see my next phone.
hopefully the batteries will evolve along with the cpus
I like how Android phones are following the routes of computers, only much faster.
Dual Core phones are still just getting popular-ish and half of the things Android uses runs perfectly off a single core.
I'm predicting that by December of 2012, (no we're not gonna die)
Single Core phones will only remain in the real low budget area or prepaid phones.
Dual Core will be our mid range.
Quad Core will be our high range.
Every device these days has dual core Cortex-A9 based SoCs. And that's every SoC; The Exynos 4210, the Qualcomm S3, the Apple A5, and the Exynos 4212.
Recently Samsung announced a new 4212 based on 32nm architecture that can reach speeds of 1.5 GHz, and has "50% faster 3D graphics performance". The old 4210 in the SGS2 uses 45nm processing, which uses much more power, and has a fairly slow GPU (Mali400MP4) compared to the A5 (SGX543MP2).

Going by this chart, a 50% boost should put the new Exynos, rumored to be used in the Nexus Prime, at over 100 FPS off screen.
Since Apple takes excessive care over battery life, we can expect the iPhone 5/4S variant of the A5 to run at 700-800 MHz, underclocked fron the iPad 2.
This would mean the Exynos 4212's CPU runs at almost double the clock speed of the iPhone 5.
So do you think the (estimated) 33% loss in GPU performance in the Nexus Prime with the 4212 would be worth the gain of maybe double the CPU performance compared to the A5?
I think we finally see an A5 killer here.
That is, unless Apple decides to throw away its battery life throne and clock the iPhone 5 at at least 1.2 GHz.
Am I suggesting losing battery life for gains in CPU performance that many users may not notice is worth it? Not necessarily. Just pointing out that Apple may have met its match.
But then again, the A5 is 45nm and the Exynos is 32nm, so power consumption may be similar .
If this is supposed to go in some other section, please move it.
longer battery life + unnoticeable performance gain ftw
Some people think that's more important.
How can you expect a chipset that move a 50% more of 67fps that is 100.5fps on a 800x480p screen be better than other that moves 148 on a 1024x768?
Oh and the iphone screen it is 960, so with less mhz will move the same fps as the ipad.
No, the new gpu of samsung it is still worse than the A5 in equal comparison and after more than 6 months.

Look at this smart guy.
As iPwn already said,you idiotic iFan,they all run the test at the same resolution.Not to mention that the chips in the iPad are larger,which means more transistors are placed in one chip,thus making it more powerful BUT MORE POWER CONSUMING.The variant in the iPhone won't just be underclocked,I can vouch for that.

Hello Guys I just need some help here.
I am planning to purchase the Asus zenfone 5 16GB. But not sure which model to buy.
It comes in 3G and 4G variant.
The only difference between these 2 models is 4G connectivity, CPU and GPU.
3G Variant:
CPU Intel Atom Z2560 Dual Core 1.6 Ghz with Hyperthreading
GPU PowerVR SGX544MP2 @400Mhz
4G Variant:
CPU Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400 Quad Core 1.2Ghz
GPU Adreno 305
Question1
Which model would give better gaming performance?
Question2
Which model would give better battery backup?
Question3
What other things do you think would be worth considering before buying?
Please guide.
Thanks.
first of all u need to check if your country supports 4g or not!!!
if i helped u just click the thanks button and be the first one to thank me:angel::angel:
Reliance Jio Infocom has started setting up 4G towers in the circle where i live. And are going to facilitate with 4G connection connection in the cirlce.
I prefer Zenfone 5 with Intel Atom Z2560 Dual Core 1.6 Ghz.
Both processor offer similar levels of performance, but i heard the application compatibility of the latter is slightly restricted for Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400, dunno about this.

I think the performance it depends on what game you play and how to use the phone etc.
Thanks for your reply.
I don't really doubt the intel cpu in performance though.
But Im really concerned about the PowerVR GPU in the phone.
I guess Adreno 305 would delived a better experience on gaming.
Games that Im looking forward to play are:
Asphalt 8, Real Racing 3, Modern Combat, Nova 3, Dark Avengers, Injustice and similar power hungry games.
One more thing is that I have heard the intel eats up more juice from the battery.
How I use my phone is:
Charge my phone upto 100% in moring
Go out make some calls with full brightness in the day, leave 3G data on, Some 15 Minutes facebook, Some 30 minutes games and get home by evening. Thats pretty much my daily usage.
I have the information, that the 4G only supports 1 Sim card. So, if you like Dual Sim there is no choice for you!

I have the Intel version, my friend has the Snapdragon (what a silly name). His is not good, say a day of normal usage with anything from 10 - 30 % left, but in line with most phones of similar specs . Mine is visible snappier, but the battery counter runs down as if a snapdragon is behind it.
I have the 2 Ghz / 2 Gb / 16 Gb variant. I pity the battery but I am not looking back to a 1 SIM phone, any.
