Just how fast is the MediaTek MT6589 chipset?

The latest set of locally branded smartphones are powered by MediaTek's new MT6589 chipset with a quad core ARM Cortex A-7 processor and PowerVR SGX544 graphics. I prepared a short chart comparing quad core processors in the market from 2012 to 2013

Qualcomm S600 (Quad Core Krait 300 Processor/Adreno 320 Graphics @500MHz) - 22678 to 247176 Antutu Benchmark Points

Samsung Galaxy S 4  (1.9 GHz)  - 24716
HTC One (1.7 GHz320) - 22678


Qualcomm S4 Pro APQQ8064 (Quad Core Krait Processor/Adreno 320 Graphics) - 15146 to 20794 Antutu Benchmark Points

Sony Xperia Z (1.5 GHz) - 20,794
Sony Xperia ZL - 20774

Nvidia Tegra 3 (Quad core ARM Cortex A-9/Nvidia ULP Gaphics) - 11633 to 13519 Antutu Benchmarks Points

HTC One X+ (Quad core 1.7 GHz/Tegra 3) - 13519
HTC One X (Quad core 1.5 GHz/Tegra 3) - 11633

MediaTek MT6589 (Quad core ARM Cortex A-7/PowerVR SGX544 Graphics) - 11345 to 13189 Antutu Benchmarks Points

O+ 8.15 (1.2 GHz)  - 13189
Cherry Mobile HD 2.0 (1.2 GHz)  -12668

MyPhone A919i Duo (1.2 GHz) - 11345

Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8225Q S4 Play (Quad Core ARM Cortex A-5/Adreno 203 Graphics

Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0 (1.2 GHz) - 10819



Roughly, the MediaTek MT6589 chipset is about as fast as Nvidia's Tegra 3 chipset.
