Help How well does the Samsung Moment's current processor stack up against...

The Pre and the Droid both use the Arm cortex A8. Which technically the clocked rate should be 600 mhz. I'm not sure what the Droid runs at, but the Pre runs underclocked at 500 mhz, and 600 mhz on 3d apps. The Samsung CPU uses Arm11, and is clocked higher. However, Cortex can process more data because of the added cache and memory read speed. So really, the 2 are about the same in terms of speed, Cortex may be a little faster in compression and extracting, but in overall performance if the app is cpu hungry then the higher clocked Arm 11 might have a small boost.

Palm Pre - 500mhz TI OMAP3430 (Underclocked from 600mhz)
Iphone 3gs - 600mhz Samsung S5PC100 (Underclocked form 833mhz)
Droid - 550mhz TI OMAP3430 (Underclocked from 600mhz)
Nexus One - 1ghz Snapdragon Qualcom QSD8250
Moment -800mhz Samsung SEC6410

Higher number = Faster CPU. (1ghz > 800mhz)
Not always true. Cortex has both a 64-bit and a 128-bit bus, while arm11 only has 64-bit. Then the cache, and how the cache is used greatly affects it. In the case of snapdragon, that'll be the fastest because it can handle more instructions per second.

I found the Moment's processor to be both good and bad. It seems like loading certain apps would be pretty quick, but the thing heats up like crazy, and also it gets sluggish when doing things. At least that is how it felt to me on the two moments that I had. I actually find the Hero and it's "slower" processor to be less sluggish when using the phone for any kind of extended period.

I would imagine a droid, especially over clocked, would blow the doors off either the Hero or Moment. Snapdragon, even under clocked, would blow the doors off either also.

So many assumptions, so little time. A computer, in this case a phone is way more than just a processor.
