When Samsung announced their Wave phone on Sunday, they called out the 1-Ghz processor but they didn’t mention the graphics performance. Maybe they shouldn’t have been so coy. In a panel here at Mobile World Congress yesterday, they slapped up this slide, claiming that the Wave does 89 million triangles per second.
That’s insanely good graphics for a phone in 2010. The Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset that you see in top-of-the-line phones today only does 22 million triangles per second. NVIDIA’s Tegra and the Marvell Armada 610 both do around 45. The new Tegra 2 chipset which NVIDIA unveiled at CES last month does 85-90, but we haven’t seen it in any phones yet.
Way to hide your light under a bushel, Samsung. If the Wave can actually crank out 89 million triangles, that’s going to make for some eye-popping mobile gaming experiences
