Google has a habit of giving future versions really tasty sounding codenames. Be it Cupcake, Éclair or Froyo, they all sound delicious. However, Froyo (that’s Android 2.2) is sounding more and more delicious by the day because when it hits my Nexus One, Android will be 450 percent faster than it is now.
The guys over at Android Police have Froyo running on a Nexus One and boy, is it a bump in speed over Android 2.1. The lads played around with it and ran some tests using Linpack, which tests the performance of Android's Dalvik VM, the brains of Android. According to their results, while a HTC Hero (Android 1.6) scored about 2 MFLOPs and their Nexus One running 2.1 clocked between 6.5 and 7 MFLOPs, Android 2.2, or Froyo, rang in at 37.5. Yowza!
