Earlier reports that the first phone to use Qualcomm's new top of the line Snapdragon 800 processor would be the ZTE Grand Memo turned out to incorrect and while ZTE later backed off the claim, it has yet to change its own web site; the speculation now is that the ZTE Grand Memo will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600...

and thus its just equal to the rest. Bad ZTE. Trying drum up interest without giving real specs.

When the site was down, i went to engaget and actually saw that and i though,"whoa! This probably ain't a good device for Snapdragon to debut their 800" and i was kind of skeptical...and now i'm relieved...somehow.

They where not left to basically say the 800 was their top shelf processor, they said that when they introduced it

Which is true, but the failure of the 600 to out benchmark the Tegra 4 left Qualcomm to use the line that the 800 is our top-shelf silicon to defend itself

TEGRA 4 devices aren't in production yet....unless we see some Real benchmarks from production devices, it's safe to say thayt Nvidia (or Intel Atom) is king...but right now, Qualcom holds that crown

Sorry for a noob question but would you know where one can actually see a performance difference in day-to-day usage as against benchmarks between the two processors ?

On graphics intensive games YES, the will be a noticeable difference, an experienced ganer can see a difference between 25 fps vs 30 fps....loading time matters as well, so yeah, newer chips are the way to go if youre into gaming and stuff

Well, its still going go be faster than the 1080p phones if it uses 720p. It'll run like a Nexus 4 with 40% more steroids. I would take the 1080p myself but some Windows phone and IOS fans might take the slight performance boost the lower resolution provides.

Chinese are known for cheating on products. Melamine on milk for example to reduce expenses. They don't care as long as they catch your attention and you hand them your money. Good advice when buying Chinese products, don't be an early adopter.
