China’s Nokia Lumia 920T to have better QUALCOMM SnapDragon S4 Pro processor, better Adreno 320 GPU

China Mobile’s Online Store has tweeted the above message and picture, making it clear that their version of the Nokia Lumia 920 would have a Qualcomm S4 Pro processor. The significance of this is of course that the regular NL 920 being sold elsewhere has the slightly less advanced Qualcomm S4 Plus processor, with the less powerful Adreno 225 GPU.
The Adreno 320 supports nearly triple the performance of the older 225, which means the phones will have better performance in games and will be able to handle higher bit-rate video.
Of course the reason is not that Nokia wanted to save the best processor for China, but that this is the only chipset which supports China Mobile’s TD-SCDMA standard.
See the differences between the processors after the break.
