(Also impressive: before the Quake was optimized for the platform, it still ran at about 22fps.) Given that the Droid doesn&#8217;t have the fastest processor around, I&#8217;d be curious to see Quake III running on something like a Nexus One. In fact, maybe we should start using games to benchmark these phones, just as we do with beefy PC rigs.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and on a slightly related note&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Unreal 4EVER.
