We knew the iPhone 3GS was fast – just a couple minutes with the iPhone 3GS in-hand is enough to prove as much – but now we have a more applicable idea of the iPhone 3GS’s speed. Anandtech ran a series of speed-tests on the iPhone 3GS, comparing it against the iPhone 3G, Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre, and T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) G1. The results speak for themselves. And they say that the iPhone 3GS is king!
After loading various webpages, using WiFi to rule out any inconsistencies in 3G network speeds, the data showed that the iPhone 3GS had an average speed-advantage of 122% over the iPhone 3G and a 21% advantage over the Palm Pre. The faster 600Mhz ARM Cortex A8 processor in the iPhone 3GS is likely due most of the credit for the bump in speed, what with its ability to handle 2 instructions simultaneously. But, the advantage over the Palm Pre’s OMAP3-based processor (not a slow processor by any means) is surprising.
In testing applications launch times (dialer, camera, email, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Maps, web browser), the iPhone 3GS proved the fastest of the bunch. Application load-times weren’t markedly different between the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, but when comparing the Palm Pre and T-Mobile G1, it’s obvious that the iPhone 3GS is the quicker of the bunch.
Now, if only we could precisely measure the iPhone 3GS’s enhanced 3D graphics capabilities and compare them to the iPhone 3G…
