The freshly leaked HTC Pyramid –pictured for the first time yesterday here– has been put under the microscope by the folks at Smartphone Benchmarks, and so far, things aren’t looking so good.

Using a dual-core processor, the Pyramid easily beat the Galaxy S, Droid 2, and G2 among others in terms of CPU performance. However, it failed to meet the standards set by the Optimus 2X and Atrix. When it comes to GPU performance, the Pyramid put out rather poor scores, failing to surpass the Galaxy S.

Of course real world performance is going to look a lot different with a final product, so don’t count the Pyramid out just yet. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one.
