Is there a site that shows a comparison between mobile chips and desktop chips?

Say a Snapdragon 800 at 2.66GHz vs. desktop/mobile chip, for example?

I remember AnandTech did a comparison, but it was an article a few months ago.

I remember reading that and lol'ing at the numbers. 😛 But I think the OP wants that same information, but compared to desktop and ARM SoCs. Would be a cool article to read.

At the current time, no. I mean, sure you may find that S800 can handle x amount of memory bandwidth compared to y bandwidth of an x86 chip. But what good would that comparison be for?

When someone asks how fast is a smart phone compared to a pc that's why.

The article linked a few posts up compared GPU numbers.

I'm curious of dhrystones and whetstones like the old days say for crunching numbers. 🙂

I believe a high end SOC is as fast as a low end desktop CPU.

Hardly. ARM isn't THAT good yet.

The higher clocked Snapdragon 800 and the new Intel Bay Trail processors are fairly close in Android, and Bay Trail is around AMD A4-5000 (Kabini) performance, roughly equivalent to a Core i3.

Granted, Bay Trail should be significantly faster than the ARM-based processors with Windows or if they have been optimized further since then, but mobile chips aren't far off from the lower end desktop CPUs.

I'm skeptical that Bay Trail is roughly equivalent to a Core i3. These chips are Intel Atom class processors.

Bay Trail gets smoked by Celeron Ivy. When I said low end CPUs previously, I meant low low end. We're talking Intel Atom low. No way its comparable to an i3.
