Lenovo K900 benchmarks fly past quad-core Snapdragon

Lenovo
Dual-core Intel Atom-powered smartphone blows away the competition in benchmarks

Few of us buy smartphones based purely on specs, but the Intel Atom-powered handset Lenovo debuted at CES 2013 could put even the latest quad-core Snapdragon benchmarks to shame.

PhoneArena reported on Friday that Lenovo's forthcoming IdeaPhone K900 might establish a new bar for smartphone processors, judging from impressive benchmarks leaked to the internet.

Impressive score

It remains to be seen how Samsung's next-generation Exynos 5 Octa processor will fare against the dual-core Intel Atom, but the chip has yet to wind up in any currently announced smartphone or tablet.

The report is quick to note there's always a chance the Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 benchmarks are a fake - and competitors are likely hoping that's the case.

Assuming these AnTuTu benchmarks are for real, the Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 could impress even further when the handset is out of testing and finally released with an Android build optimized for its powerful engine.
