Thanks again Charles.
I finished the WM-Test. These are the results.
The software was the DroidFish 1.40 ( Stockfish 2.2.2) program, by Peter Osterlund.
The hardware was the Asus Transformer Prime tablet, incorporating the quad-core (4+1)Tegra 3 micro, at 1.3 GHz.
GZ= 306 minutes.
LQ=88.
N=100.
Final ELO= 2761.
Rather restrictive, having in mind the results I am getting with other tests. I think it should be arround 2850 or even more.
The DF is the only Android program with MP capabilities just now ( Chess for Android is at another level).
Stefan and Richard tell me they are thinking about doing MP their respective programs ( Shredder and Genius)in the future, and may be Mark( Hiarcs) do the same too.
The 2012 is going to be the quad-core year. Different companies are pressing very hard to arise in first place during next months:
Nvidia with their Tegra 3, TI with their OMAP 5, Qualcomm with their Snapdragon S4, Samsung with Eynos 5250 and "Samsung Core", Apple with the A6 ( made by Samsung),and Intel with their Atom Medfield. Time will say, as it always situates everybody and everything in their right place. I assume at the end of the year we will have quad-core handheld devices at 2 GHz (2x4= 8), and even more.
Acer is coming now with their Iconia A510/700 10" tablets. Asus will beat again with their 7" Tegra3 tablet Memo, at 200 Euros.Apple with their iPad3 ( quad-core A6) and Samsung with their Exynos 5250/4412 "Samsung Core".Lenovo and other companies are coming very soon too.
Quad-core smartphones that will come during this year are Motorola Bullet/Jet, HTC Edge, Samsung Galaxy SIII, iPhone 5 Meizu MX and LG X3.
Interesting year 2012.
