4. Sony Xperia TX, Xperia T and Xperia V synthetic benchmarks

IFA 2012 Sony Android Touch UI

The Xperia TX, Xperia T and Xperia V are all running on 1.5GHz dual-core processors, using the new Krait architecture. There's still some doubt about the GPUs, but all three tested units reportedly use Adreno 225 GPUs.

The Krait cores helped the three new Xperias pass the BenchmarkPi with flying colors - none of the quad-core smartphones currently on the market could come anywhere near their achievement. To be fair, though, BenchmarkPi doesn't make use of the multi-core architectures, so the dual-core Kraits have an advantage here.

The NenaMark 2 results of the Sony Xperia T, TX and V proves that the three new smartphones are Adreno 225-powered. The kind of framerates that the new Sony smartphones achieved are beyond the capabilities of any of the previous Qualcomm mobile GPUs.

Finally, we come to the overall performance test with Quadrant and the Xperia trio made it three out of three against its quad-core rivals. An impressive achievement indeed.
