Nokia 800 and 710 web benchmarks is very good compared to other Mango phones

The Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 were both present so we could check out how those 1.4Ghz Snapdragon chipsets fare.

To put their performance into perspective we threw in the HTC Radar and an HTC 7 Mozart running the Mango update into the mix. The Radar has a chipset very similar to the two Lumia smartphones, but its Scorpion CPU is clocked at 1GHz. It should show us what kind of an advantage the extra 400MHz of clock speeds actually bring. The 7 Mozart not only has a slower CPU than the two Nokia smartphones, but also a weaker GPU so we will see how much of a difference that makes.

We started with BrowserMark and it was Nokia Lumia 710 that drew first blood, scoring 32,854 points. The Lumia 800 came in second with 32,594 points, but for all purposes practical the performance of the two was identical. The HTC Radar came in third and HTC 7 Mozart ended up last with the margin of their defeat being about what the specs difference suggests.

Nokia 800 Lumia evened the score by winning the second benchmark, Microsoft’s FishIE Tank. It delivered 53 fps compared to 50fps of the Lumia 710. The HTC Radar was some way behind with 38fps, while the less powerful GPU of the 7 Mozart only allowed it to do 30fps.

The Lumia 800 scored another point at the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark and once again the Lumia 710 came so close that the two were virtually indistinguishable. The HTC smartphones got very similar results here, but neither of them came anywhere near the Lumia scores. Thats all understandable considering given the nature of the benchmark.

The final test was Celtikcane JSBenchmark and the Nokia Lumia 800 made it three wins out of four. The Lumia 710 did not disappoint either and came a really close second, while the Radar placed third 25% off the pace. The 7 Mozart was nearly two times slower than the leader.
