All people calming that desire z processor @800mhz scores better in benchmarks than overlooked snapdragon ,this is not true when Iam on desire z Rom I underclocked my hd2 to 806.4 mhz (same as dz) and I got 1512 score from the first time same as Dz with its perfect GPU , SO OUR CPU PERFORMS BETTER ( you can try it yourself ) Iam not a liar ,I think the improved performance is in THE ROM itself not in the processor

You have to remember that the benchmarks (quadrant, linpack etc) are all synthetic, like 3dmark back in the day for pc graphics cards. There are so many things that can affect your scores both adversely and positively that they should only be used as a very rough guideline and nothing more. Direct comparisons are all but pointless.

Iam talking to people who take quadrant as a prove for performance , I know that its results are not accurate
Sent from my HTC HD2 T8585 using XDA App
I think you should use Quadrant Advanced to compare cpu scores, I know I/O scores help our HD2 a lot.
Even software affects quadrant cpu scores so it is not reliable. Quadrant benchmarks h264 decoding performance as part of cpu benchmark and for example having stagefright driver enabled inflates cpu score by double! Disable stagefright and your cpu will score 400 instead of 800. (in quadrant "advanced") if you use better software decoder it will affect cpu score by large amount. And rebenchmarking produces higher results because of caching. Mips calculating benchmarks are better (like the one in setcpu)

+1.. imagine, a 75% overclock?? i wonder if the carpet has any burn marks on them when he lifts the phone up, or if his face has any burn marks that's why he's not showing it up on the cam.. lol.. because a 75% OC on a very small device where there is not enough room to breathe, the whole phone would be like a big heatsink if used for a period of time.. and i guess that's also the reason why HTC slapped the 800mhz cpu instead of the 1ghz.. i'm our HD2 can achieve such high of an OC, but it wouldn't be adviceable as it would melt/crack the solder joints on the GPU and/or processor of the phone at that kind of heat.. and i believe that the GPU and apllication coprocessor that they're talking about on the G2 is just a marketing ploy to justify it's price tag.. maybe to cope up with the build price since there are moving parts (hinge) and the hard keyboard.. even the guy at the tmobile store told me that the G2 isn't fast at all.. he said it's nothing close to evo or the nexus one as some people and websites claims.. funny when he asked my what kind of phone do i have.. i pulled my HD2 and showed it to him.. he was surprised to see Android on it and asked me if he could play with it.. so i let him.. and after playing with it for a while, he advised me to wait for the new phone device that's supposed to come out before the end of the year.. he even told me that getting a G2 would be the same as downgrading as he feels that my HD2 is way way faster than the G2.. i told him i'm thinking about getting the vibrant because the port for our HD2 is nothing close to being perfect and that it's still running from the SD card.. again he discouraged me and told me to wait for the next phone device to come.. so i guess that's what i will do..
I'm surprised that you were in store and didn't test drive G2 for yourself, are you sure he is sale person?, he didn't sound like one.

as a matter of fact i did.. that's actually one of the main reason why i went to the store, as i've been reading a lot of good things on G2.. i went there to compare the G2 with the samsung vibrant.. but through the end, i didn't like the G2's performance despite the fact that it's the only phone right now on TMo that supports the HSPA+.. and yes he's a sales person.. i was surprised as well when he told me about the upcoming desire HD.. but that didn't happen until i showed my HD2 to him and let him play with it for a while.. maybe he knows that i'm a phone enthusiast and that i might just end up returning the phone within the 30 days period after playing with the G2.. who knows?? i think the G2 is wayyy overrated.. it performs within it's specs, nothing special..

Desire Z overclocks to exactly same speeds. Record OC is 1470MHz.
So they are same CPUs, clocked at different speeds. Bigger screen = higher clock to handle bigger screen.

I don't think that Neocore benchmarks the entire system, maybe more on the graphics chip. I don't know any specifics on the N1's graphics capabilities, but the 1 ghz snapdragon cpu is a definite boost from its predecessors.
Do you work for Apple?
How does it do on PiBenchmark? That would provide more relevant results with its Snapdragon processor.

doesn't the liquid come with an underclocked snapdragon?
I have a Magic that is rooted and tweaked to all hell and have played with the nexus. There is no doubt that the Google phone out performs any other phone that HTC has released. Ive seen it first hand. Its very fast and can handle so many things going on at the same time it makes my tummy tickle.
You are an idiot. Get your panties out of a bunch because you are pissed at the price and that it has no AT&T 3G. Should we all be pissed that the Droid only works on Verizon? Should we all be pissed that the iPhone only has AT&T 3G? The Nexus One is designed to be on T-Mobile. Sure, it will technically work on any GSM provider, but that isn't what it was intended to do. Google must have some deal with T-Mobile since they offers the most android phones.
And about the performance, that only shows video performance, and we dont know for sure what the N1 and A1 have in terms of a GPU

What are you, 15 years old? Get off of mommy's computer and stop *****ing because you can't use the N1 on your network and get 3G.

Actually ... it goes nicely with HTC's track record of under-performing hardware.
We have too many variables that makes comparing these results difficult. The HTC Magic and Liquid are running 1.6, while the Nexus is running 2.1. There are dramatically different levels of overhead on different Android system versions. There could be way more overhead on Android 2.1 than on 1.6. Additionally, you forgot to mention that the Nexus One is running at a resolution 2.5 times that of the HTC Magic.
Just because you're not going to buy the Nexus (because you recently purchased another handset and are trying to justify your purchase, or because it doesn't support your carrier's 3G frequencies, or otherwise) doesn't mean you are obliged to spam these forums with "OMG THIS PHONE IS FAIL"
the resolution used on the n1 is far higher than on the older devices remember

lol @semantics now thats funny man
I have had this phone for three weeks now and one thing its not is SLOW. Its way faster than my 3GS and my Mytouch.
I got 27.4 FPS on my G1.
I'm pretty sure the N1 isn't slower then the G1. That would be stupid.
I don't give a damn, I'm buying this joint day 1!! LOL
my theory:
1. Neocore is designed to work with android 1.6 and Open GL ES 1.1
2. The Liquid A1 has the same processor (albeit underclocked) and the same screen resolution as the N1 so you would expect them to perform similarliy. They dont perfrom the same so you must look at the differences between the phones. The biggest to me is the fact that the Liquid A1 has Android 1.6 and Open GL ES 1.1, the sweet spot for Neocore.
3. The N1 had Android 2.1 and Open GL ES 2.0, specs that are not supported by Neocore. How can Neocore accurately test the N1 when it does not support its specifications? The slowness is not due to poor hardware, rather it is due to old software trying to run on the latest hardware.

Team Whiskey has put out a Vibrant kernel (alpha) than can hit 1.6Ghz, and they're working on 1.8 and 2.0. Once they release the code (which should be soon), it shouldn't take long for an Epic version to surface.
Is stability not a problem with these high overclocks? I don't understand how someone can just put out a Xghz kernel for everyone to use. Aren't there hardware limits, ones that will be arbitrary device to device?

Not unlike desktop CPU overclocking then.
Well yes and no...every one can be overclocked...it boils down to how much..and how well of an over-clocker a chip is..then obviously it boils down to manufacture quality aka luck of the draw.
For example...the 1st gen snapdragon is a sub par overclocker...while the 550mhz chip in the original droid is an awesome overclocker....
It kinda boils down to the manufacturer limiting the frequency to a certain amount..sometimes for stability..but often times to charge you extra for more mhz...Intel has been doing it for years selling the same chip in 3 different clocks when in reality it is exactly the same chip.
I mean if samsung wanted to they could have easily released it at 1.3ghz..they just had no reason to...
just wait till the Epic is running 2.2 and u will see who the real winner is
the biggest issues for smartphone ocing are heat n battery, cuz unlike a desktop were u can keep uping the volts n if it gets to hot just add more cooling, a smartphone is all passive so you cant go much above stock voltage or it'll melt, plus wht good is 2ghz if u can only run it for an hour b4 ur battery dies
So then why is it such a big deal to make a ROM capable of a high clock? Someone could make a 5ghz ROM, but it would never work. If Hummingbird CAN go to 1.8ghz, I don't see why the current overclocked kernel's don't already reflect that.
In other words, I think we shouldn't hope for much over 1.2ghz, which is already pretty good.
Any stability testing programs for Android? Or is everyone saying "no crash = must be stable"?
hi everyone
i just come from a Hero and got this thing,its crazy s**t
put desire hd android on its awsome,beats my Hero anyday.lol.
i noticed thats guys on here are getting quadrant scores of 2000+ i aint got to that point yet but then i was looking at Gsmarena at the new Lg star,if you have look at the bottom of page in the vid bit, only ses 2146 and guys on here are getting more,its flippen unreal hows it whipping a duel-core mobi.it shoulda been an android phone from the start
ps anyone know why the music EQ aint working mdj desire hd 4.4
the lg what ?
even if it had a million cores , i wouldnt buy non htc
We have like really good CPU power and I/O scores...
in the video your talking about.... it takes a while to get thru these tests.... but it flies thru the 2D and 3D test....
so it has a great GPU but Lg failed at making their I/O scores decent... which is fine... cuz Android likes animations and thats more of GPU than I/O or CPU....
anyhow... probably not worth switching... waiting for tegra III or IV on a htc device...

same here. those guys are too lazy to update their roms.
Seeing as quadrant doesn't support multithreading, it would only be benchmarking one of the cores anyway...
Quadrant scores don't really mean anything. There's a lot of things that can boost up a quadrant score but that doesn't actually mean its faster or smoother. Also, any rooted and properly tweaked native phone of similar specs will beat the hd2 any day. Everyone always compares the tweaked and modified hd2s quadrant scores to stock android phones, which isn't a fair comparison if they aren't also rooted and tweaked. My friend with a nexus one easily gets over 3000 on his quadrant scores. It all depends how you tweak it. A native phone will probably always be able to outperform a port of android.... but atleast we can run multiple OS's.

where are those benchmarks? our DHD gets 58fps on neocore, xperia play beats it?
It might just be 2.3 running but it scores on avg 59 I was guessing sony might have took the time to build a tweaked driver but maybe not. Guess we'll have to see when someone gets their hands on it for real
It's normal that the maximum fps you can get on the DHD is about 60. Thats because the frame rate is locked to the refresh rate of the display. Basically the same as v-sync on a pc. And so the framerate of the play should also be around 60fps at neocore.
Would be nice to see a benchmark like nenamark running on the play. Should be more accurate because the framerate isn't at it's maximum (at least on the DHD)

Well,Sony might have rather done something to scale better than HTC.Any HTC phone's graphics benchmarks are crap with the default(ondemand) governor.Change to performance and you are bound to get at least a 30% increase.
Other than that,don't rely on Neocore,it's crap now.Every phone that has an Adreno 205 or better can max out the FPS as it relies on OpenGL ES 1.1 .It was very good for pitting older GPUs one against the other,until the days of the Adreno 200.

Hey guys,a long time ago in a galaxy far far away(well,it was only last week,but I gotta make it sound more dramatic ),I was watching video comparisons of the two phones on youtube and reading others like a maniac,trying to decide which is best.In every review that someone made a benchmark between the two and used Linpack to measure the CPU's power(believe me,there is nothing more reliable for the CPU),the end result was that the Sensation's CPU is better clock for clock marginally.
So there I was earlier today,trying to show myself how good my purchase was,and I was comparing my GS2 with my Desire HD.Before someone comes up and tries to defend the Sensation,bear in mind that:
1)The Sensation's dual-core CPU is actually two identical Scorpion cores,like the one found inside the Desire HD,just overclocked to 1.2GHz insted of 1GHz.
2)Linpack isn't able to properly benchmark dual-core CPUs,so the result you get is from one core.
Now,as most reviews showed,on 1.2GHz(yes,my DHD is rooted etc,check my sig) the scores of the Desire HD were slightly better than those of the GS2.Better...like 46MFLOPS against 45MFLOPS or so.
Then,the spirit of the overclocker took over my mind.So I grab both phones and overclock them all the way up to 1612MHz(usign Tegrak overclock ultimate on my GS2).The results are what I want to point out with this thread.
At that clock speed,the Desire HD struggled to get 60MFLOPS(In fact I don't think it ever reached that much,more like 58-59),while the GS2 was confidently between 63 and 65 MFLOPS.
Bottom line is that the GS2's performance increases in a more "linear" way than the Sensation's.I know most people won't overclock,but I am here to defend our phones!
In case you don't even care or find this thread pointless etc,you can pretty much press your back button and get out without flaming/trolling.Please?

Yep,one doesn't cancel the other.The only benchmarking tool that uses both cores is smartbench 2011 as of now.Others will probably follow.It's not a fault that Linpack doesn't benchmark both cores,the programmers haven't done the coding yet.Just that.
And yes,the Desire HD and the Sensation are different phones,albeit with the same CPU CORE,not the same CPU.

In regards to the linpack, i think i've seen the same comparison review. I mentioned it in the same thread that i ran the test and also got near 47MFLOPS when i ran the test. Same thing goes for quadrant, i've hit as high as 3450ish on stock rom and then gotten as low as 2900. I've posted in the same website that their testing method is flawed because they don't run multiple tests
I hate the fact that in comparision reviews between GS2 and Sensation, reviews usually just say both of them use 1.2GHz dual-cores and fail to mention that the CPUs are not the same.
As tolis626 pointed out that the CPU's cores in the sensation are the old Scorpion CPU used in the DHD but have one more core. They are partially out of order, while the Cortex-A9 in GS2 are fully out of order which translate to a win for GS2.
On the Linpack benchmark, it measures floating point performance and Scorpion has a better implementation of floating point unit hence Scorpion is better than Cortex-A9 clock for clock in Linpack. But smartphone application is not bound by floating point performance, according to AnandTech, so we won't see that extra performance all the time.
well I got 48.208MFLOPS without any overclock on my SGS2
Like the majority of users, I'm a noob when it comes to overclocking/rooting/benchmarking, I just haven't gone near it (yet )
I watch others' videos on it. And basically, on the stock browser, on the stock ROM, the GSII always get significantly better than the Sensation....so I'm happy with my purchase. Seems soo pointless going for a "HTC" because it has the "HTC" logo, even though it's browser is poor and it's signal fails.
ok, the above is a stupid troll comment. But you get the point.

What I was trying to get at is that the Sensation is NOT better clock for clock,it just gives better numbers at that frequency.It also kneels when underclocked and under terrible load,something the GS2 doesn't suffer from.
Don't be mistaken,the Scorpion CPU core is a really good one.And as far as I'm concerned it's by far better than the CPU of the Hummingbird inside the original GS.What plagues the Sensation is a terrible implementanion of the Scorpion core in a dual-core chipset.We should wait till some devs do their magic on that thing before we can call it worse.
Just my...5 cents,I wrote too much!

And as far as I'm concerned it's [scorpion] by far better than the CPU of the Hummingbird inside the original GS.

Woah,I did state that ONLY the CPU is better on the QSD8255,not that the whole SoC is better than the Hummingbird.The latter was a beast in the graphics department(and still is),so it's more than competitive actually.
