Asus Android

Synthetic benchmarks

The Asus PadFone X is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset with 2.3GHz quad-core Krait 400 CPU. The GPU is Adreno 330, while 2 gigs of RAM ensure smooth operation at all times.

The PadFone X doesn't feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC as most of the high-end Android devices do these days, but this is hardly a deal breaker in our book. After all, the 801 is essentially a version of the Snapdragon 800 with slightly higher GPU and memory frequencies.

GeekBench 3 and AnTuTu 4 are all-round benchmarks that test the entirety of the hardware build. The Asus PadFone X posted flagship-worthy results on both occasions.

Next up we have the Adreno 330 GPU put to the test with GFXBench's 2.7 T-Rex and 3.0 Manhattan. Once again the handset showcased similar performance as the heavy hitters in the Android realm.

BrowserMark 2.1 looks at HTML 5 performance, while Mozilla's Kraken 1.1 is JavaScript-centric. The Asus PadFone X did fine on both occasions, but didn't shatter any records.

Basemark X is designed to put the Adreno 330 GPU to the test by throwing a heavy load of graphics to render. The PadFone X bested the likes of LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy S5, and came slightly short from topping the HTC One (M8).

Things change considerably in the anti-cheat version of the benchmark. On this instance, the PadFone X didn't post such impressive numbers and came in last among the other high-end devices we tested.

Basemark OS II tests the overall CPU performance. Again, we witness a score that is typical for a high-end device. The anti-cheat version however, showcased a slightly lower result by the device.
