Apple's A4 SoC: Faster than Snapdragon?


<p>
You all should know me well enough by now. What do you think was the first thing I did once UPS dropped off my iPad this afternoon?</p>
<p>
I&#39;ve been wanting to find out how Apple&#39;s A4 SoC performs since the moment it was announced and with the arrival of the iPad, I&#39;m able to do just that. Read on to look at the numbers but I compared it to the iPhone 3GS and the Google Nexus One to get a good overview of how the A4 performs to upper mid range and high end SoC silicon today.</p>

Not to spoil the surprise, but if you&#39;re holding out for the next iPhone, it may be worth the wait.</p>

<strong>Update</strong>: We now have SunSpider Javascript benchmark results, they look even better!</p>
<p>
<strong>Update 2</strong>: Updated the title and added more text in the article itself to make it clear that we&#39;re comparing the entirety of the iPad platform (software + hardware) including its A4 vs. the Nexus One and its Snapdragon.</p>
