The new Google Android version 2.2 appears to be as much as 450 percent faster than version 2.1, according to test run by Android Police. To the extent that faster processing means lower latency for any number of operations conducted on a mobile device, that should be a good thing.
Android Police tests suggest, for example, that the HTC Hero gets a test score of about 2 million floating-point operations per second, often called simply "FLOPs."
The Nexus One running Android 2.1 gets about 6.5 MFLOPS to 7 MFLOPS.
The Android version 2.2 operating system seems to run at 37.5 MFLOPS. One practical result is that Flash-authored video should run much better, as Flash puts strain on processors. Much-faster processors should mean much-better video performance.
While real-life applications will most certainly not be 450 percent faster across the board, but it stands to reason that it will help most applications run faster.
