Detecting device CPU speed

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi.  Is there a way to detect device CPU speed.  I found information on some device name detction, but not CPU speed.  This would be useful if I want to reduce the number of particles in a particle effects system for slower devices.  Would appreciate any help.  Thank you!

I don’t think there’s any way to do that.  But you might try using the OS version as a proxy – devices running an older version of the OS are probably slower.

I found that a corona call to system.getinfo “architectureInfo”

gets:

Android on ARM devices will return “ARM” (typically for ARMv6) or
“ARM Neon” (ARMv7). iOS will return values such as: “iPhone1,1”,
“iPhone1,2”, where mappings are:

  • “iPhone1,1” = iPhone 1G
  • “iPhone1,2” = iPhone 3G
  • “iPhone2,1” = iPhone 3GS
  • “iPod1,1” = iPod touch 1G
  • “iPod2,1” = iPod touch 2G

I’m trying to find complete table/list for this; if anyone has it, would appreciate if you share.
