          Qualcomm, I am expecting Crysis-quality games on my phone once your chips come out. I'll be massively disappointed if that won't happen...


          ...not.

              Why always fighting "N8 vs galaxy vs iphone" this is getting boring, every person will take what he needs. This competition is good for us all. If you need the best cameraphone then choose N8, if you want best in modern UI with transition effects have a galaxy or if you're looking for s plenty of apps go with iphone.

              =======================================

              I'm wondering why GSMArena didn't mention the Intel Atom Z6xx series CPU??? since it will compete directly with Qualcomm and nvidia!

              and what about AMD?? why are they sleeping in mobile market?!!

                  Whjat we look at is how every device handles and performs at their given resolution.
                  Nokia N8 is about on pair with the iphone 4 and HTC desire z.
                  Only device that tops N8 is the Galaxy S

                              What is the resolution of the iPad and what is the resolution of the N8?
                              These benchmarks count the frames correctly rendered by the device in a second and in total. While a frame on N8 has 360x640=230400 pixels, the iPad frame has 1024x768=786432 pixels, that is 3.41 times more pixels. So the iPad score must be 3.4 times lower than the score of the N8 to be equal in rendering power. But that's not the case.

                                  LoooL! Welcome to 2010! And BTW N8 has such a low resolution that it is really pathetic for gaming.
