How powerful is the 6600?

Hello,

I read somwhere about the processors they use in the different symbian phones. The Sony Ericsson P800/P900 is 160Mhz and the Motorola a920 168Mhz.

Can anyone tell me what processor they use in 6600 or other symbian phones for that matter?

I have been told that the 6600 bounces its memory off of the free memory in the flash ram card making the processing speed faster. but i am not sure if this is true

Its 104Mhz.

Could you please explain?What do you mean by bounces?

I attached a CPU speed test.Just unzip the file.Upload the .exe in some directory on your phone,locate the file with a file manager and start it.

Thanks to Michal from my-symbian.

Cool program. Thanks

to be precise, it is a 104MHZ ARM-9 CPU, and you can download simple Java apps to test the CPU's power, such as apps that use math libraries to solve equations and the time it takes to solve them is measured.

Incase anyone was interested, the 6600's 104MHZ CPU beats the SX1's 130MHZ CPU in ALL the math based tests.

😃

That does not measure the power of the CPU.Its measures the Java VM performance on the device.In real life,it doesn't mean anything except that the 6600 might perform better in java apps and games then the SX1.

BTW:My old 7650 beats the 6600,the p900 and the N-Gage but it sometimes skips when playing complicated C++ games while the N-Gage does not.

what i mean't by bounces was that it will use some of the memorycards memory as ram on boot up and running apps

Assuming that the memory in the phone is faster than the mmc (which it better be) then it could either do pageouts of the OS to the MMC to set a vm file or it could read an instance of the os right in. For booting up it could do the steady state restore (you would have to look for the file). As for running apps...the faster the memory the faster the apps. Anyone benchmarked the phone w/ a smaller or different brand MMC(same size)?
