The tech housed in the upcoming Android console Ouya lags significantly behind many other modern Andorid devices.
VentureBeat (http://venturebeat.com/2013/04/15/benchmark-test-reveals-ouyas-guts-are-already-a-generation-old/) reports that results using benchmarking software Futuremark suggested that Ouya ranks 73rd in the Android power league table. That’s ahead of the likes of Google’s Nexus 7 tablet but behind devices such as LG’s Nexus 4 smartphone, which more than doubled Ouya’s Futuremark score.
Rivals such as the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S IV rate even higher.
The Nexus 7 or Galaxy S III are regarded by many as ‘the industry standard’. They score just over 5,000 on Futuremark. Ouya, by contrast, scored just over 4,000.
GameInformer (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/04/15/ouya-s-tech-is-a-generation-old.aspx) magazine concluded from the numbers that “Ouya’s tech is a generation old”.
It should be noted, of course, that Ouya will retail for $99 – a fraction of the price of the aforementioned smartphones. And of course it’s hardly as if graphical clout will be the driving force behind Ouya’s market pitch.
