Nexus One does Android 2.2

[jbwiden]

The original post on Engadget has been updated. It claims that 2.2 runs over 400% faster on the Nexus One than 2.1 did. I am not sure who did the benchmark test but that is an increase in speed I would really love to have.

So number 9 on the top list:

Droid?

probably not the moto droid, right? Cause if it was then it would probably mean it was running 2.2

I just realized that it could just be overclocked Droid. By the way how do I edit my old post... I do not want to be spamming the forum.

Well I'm running stock with an underclocked processor. If people overclock it to the max they should do way better than mine.

[SSHGuru]

But if 2.2 really speeds me up that fast then I will be going as fast as someone who is rooted to the max..

The top 10 which is mostly the Nexus is running 2.2 Froyo...

Oops meant to post the list also:

So is Flash not going to be a separate deal, you'll have to have 2.2 to have flash?

Flash will require 2.2.

That's exactly what it is... look at the notes:
verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0.1/ESD56/20996:user/release-keys
Sholes 2.0.1 ESD56.



Froyo looks quite exciting, however, we can't be guaranteed the same 450+% increase on the Droid, as it is a different system, though I'm sure that we will get some nice results from it.

Man what in the hell was it that scored over 80mflops?!! That's absurd.

Flash will require 2.2.

Lets just hope a 2.2 Rom hits the streets sooner than later after its released.

Interesting writeup right here:

The HTC Nexus One with Android 2.1 received a score of 6.5 to 7 MFLOPS, still impressive compared to the HTC Hero's lesser score of 2 MFLOPS. The Nexus One with Android 2.2 blows both of them away, though, posting a score of 37.593. That's a 450 percent performance gain over Android 2.1, at least. To put that further in perspective, an Eee PC scores about 66 MFLOPS, at max.

The Linpack results appear to have come thanks to the new just-in-time (JIT) compiler in Froyo (Android 2.2). JIT compilers boost performance of interpreted codes like Java. While this won't help native apps directly, it means that many of your apps will get at least a 2 to 3-fold speed increase. And native apps should indirectly benefit, as faster non-native apps means more CPU freed for native ones.

So it seems real world increases will be seen.
