Motorola ATRIX 4G vs. LG Optimus 2X: Not all dual-cores are created equal

Android enthusiast blog Android and Me oversaw a benchmark battle royale on Friday. While the goal of the exercise was to pit the ATRIX 4G against the LG Optimus 2X to see which phone makes better use of its dual-core Tegra 2 processor, the results help emphasize something we constantly stress here on BGR: specs are only half the story. The blog arranged a benchmark battle between the ATRIX 4G and Optimus 2X along with Google’s Nexus S and Nexus One, HTC’s G2 and Motorola’s DROID, and the results are hardly what you might expect. First things first — LG’s Optimus 2X handily topped the list in six of eight tests performed, bested only by the ATRIX in the Smartbench 2011 productivity test and the Linpack test. In the other six tests, however, you might expect the ATRIX 4G to be a close second but that most certainly was not always the case. Hit the break for a few sets of benchmark results mapped out on graphs, then hit the read link to check out the rest.
