Video Demo Suggests HTC One X Tegra 3 Faster Than Snapdragon S4

A newly released video pits the two versions of the HTC One X against each other, the Tegra 3 sporting international variant and the Snapdragon S4 model headed to AT&T on May 6th. In the video the Tegra 3 boots up faster and comes out way ahead as both models run the AnTuTu benchmark test.

Aside from the awful techno music playing in the background, there are a few reasons for skepticism: the boot animations aren’t identical, as well as the message on the AT&T variant showing “upgrading Android” during both. Also, the Snapdragon One X was placed in airplane mode while the international Tegra 3 version was not.

Perhaps one notable disadvantage for the the AT&T device is it’s still pre-production, so this video would only really stand up if both phones were final devices on shipping software and both on or both off a network.

Either way, the benchmarks should be of little consequence, the AT&T variant of the HTC One X is more than adequate for every day use and will still outpace most devices on the market. The average user would never notice a difference and the differences between the two versions here are likely never to come up in the real world.

Still, it’s a fun video to watch, just don’t listen to the music.

the one on the left that is faster is actually the s4 because it is always clocked at 1.5 ghz and the tegra 3 in the current models are clocked at 1.3 ghz until the t33 comes out and will go up to 1.6ghz with this test it shows that the s4 crushes the tegra even though s4 is in a pre-production phone

First thing I noticed is the phone on the right cold booted while the phone on the left "fastbooted" similar to "hibernating and then waking" a computer there's the speed difference in the bootup....

 

Second the phone on the right was loaded down with more crap, had a slower sd card in it (probably a class 4) while the phone on the left had a faster card in it. (class 10?)

 

Third which may be factory I'm not sure I haven't looked at specs on the two but the phone on the right is only clocked at 1.2ghz while the phone on the left is at 1.5ghz.... Of course it's gonna be faster multiple things stacked against it are of course going to make it look bad.... just my two cents!

The at%t device is not in pre-production as it is the same version we have up north on Rogers... It's been out since april 20th...

 Pierre Alexandre Lemay I find it curious though, that both versions have HTC at the top when the final production version of AT&T's version has the AT&T logo on the top of it...

 DustinHalter Having a at&t logo on top doesn't means that it isn't the same s4 processor with lte.... I have it in my hand right now!!!!

 Pierre Alexandre Lemay Ooo, someone is angry. Look, the point is the AT&T version in this video is not the final version, period. Doesn't matter if "it is the same as the one up north." How can you say something is final production when it doesn't even have final branding on it? Can you also manage to not use "!!!!" to prove a point. No sense in getting angry...

 DustinHalter Final branding? The fact that it is the exact same thing is not enough for you? If a car is already sold in Canada and you are expected to get the exact same car in your country in one month you will keep saying that it is in pre-production mode? Having the AT&T branding is like having a car in a different color.. It doesn't change anything on the performance..
