Let's be honest here – benchmarks for the most part, are not something we care all that much about in 2012. Back in 2010 when we were overclocking everything that walked and phones still ran single-core processors, it was a big deal. Now, not so much. With the amount of power in phones today, a benchmark doesn't tell the full story. With different cameras, screen sizes and techs, and build materials becoming increasingly more important, benchmarks are really just a piece of the puzzle and mostly for bragging rights now. And in the case of the HTC One X with the world's first quad-core mobile processor inside (aka Tegra 3), bragging is exactly what we aim to do here.
We unfairly compared it to the Galaxy Nexus with its OMAP4460 dual-core chipset since it is the hottest Android device on the block, just to give you an idea as to how the T3 compares to last year's dual-core chips. So what the G-Nex has to fight with is a "4-PLUS-1″ quad-core processor powering a 12-core GPU. "Oh joy!"
