Hi,

Can anyone tell me which graphic card Iphone 3GS uses and the HTC Magic Android?

Is it possible to know also the frame rate of both this devices?

Thanks you

The Magic uses a Qualcomm MSM 7200A 528 MHz processor, witch can handle OpenGL ES 1.1 pretty well. It's the same processor as in T-Mobile G1, HTC Hero, Samsung Galaxy. The iPhone and iPhone 3G have an ARM 11 412 MHz and a PowerVR MBX-Lite graphics. The graphic power of G1/Magic/Hero is very similar with the graphic power of iPhone/iPhone 3G, although on the iPhone the games run a little smoother because they are not programmed in Java.

The iPhone 3GS on the other hand has a new processor ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, coupled with a new graphic chip PowerVR SGX. The new graphic chip supports OpenGL ES 2.0 and that is a big difference because it brings shader support, something similar with console/PC game quality graphics.

So for now the iPhone 3GS is the most powerful gaming phone. The Android platform right now does not have a phone with OpenGL ES 2.0, but it will arrive for sure in the near future.
