Android 2.2 is faster than 2.1 five times!
Google "worked a little" on Android 2.2
In fact, for the release of this version of Android, Google promised not as many innovations as we used to see in their updated products. Of course, there was information about a couple of chips (such as an updated home screen), but none of them were officially confirmed by Google, except for Flash 10.1 support. It would seem that there is reason to doubt the amount of labor invested in the new release, which, according to rumors, will be held May 19-20. But ... Google knows how to surprise:
But the fact is that somehow, in the hands of guys with androidpolice.com, there was a Nexus One device with Android 2.2 installed. ( prufskrin ) One of them used this device for about a week, and every day he admired him more and more. And, of course, his hands were combed to compare the performance of both androids objectively - with the help of a benchmark. The Linkpack utility was chosen as the one with the help of which the speed of the Dalvik virtual machine (which is essentially the heart of Android OS) was tested. First, the test results were recorded on the "old man", 2.1. The result was about 7 Mflops . But when it came to testing 2.2, the researchers probably did not believe their eyes. On the screen flaunted a figure in stunning37.6 Mflops :
As it turned out, the increase in productivity is associated with the addition of such a thing as Just-In-Time Compilation to the kernel . But ... who cares? “It works! And it works FAST! ”, As they would say in some sort of bourgeois blog. According to the subjective opinion of androidpolice, the speed of the phone has increased markedly.
In fact, being a fan of Android OS, I can only rejoice at the platform as a whole and say thanks to Google for their product, which is so booming for the benefit of end users. I can only imagine how all this will succinctly work in the hands of a geek on the very tasty, in my opinion, future Meizu M9, which is likely to become the subject of another article ...
