Here's something I noticed while testing my phone in smart bench. I dialed my CPU down to 816mhz and 912mhz and look at these scores

Then I set it back to 1ghz and look at the scores.
Doesn't make sense. We need 2.3(2.4) to truely run out dual core at its best.
But thats just my 2 cents

strange..!!
I find I get better scores on smartbench when I have tons of apps running and less free ram, how odd is that???
These benchmark tools are bogus. In the end what really matters is your experience, do you feel it fast? So it's fast...

Are you running single tests or multiple?
I've noticed the same results and thought it quite strange and I ran multiple tests. Its interesting also that the more tests you run the better the scores get until a certain amount of times, around 6 or so on mine, that the scores drop dramatically to a lower score than the first run score.

Benchmarks need to be repeatable for them to be reliable. Any outfit worth its salt does benchmarks on a freshly installed system with all unnecessary services disabled and nothing running etc.
Otherwise you're going to get some unseen interaction that will screw with your benchmark result.

Ran multiple test to make sure the results were consistent and always got the same results

Remember all kinds of stuff comes into factor. Heat from multiple tests, heat from charging, heat from pocket, rebooting before test, less apps being used, data turned off... and tons more. You cant really compare tests back too back, you must run tons of them with the same variables and take a median not a mean.

My score in linpack are now around 35 sin e I updated....that's a drop of 10 to 15 points from before the update. Anyone else notice a drop in linpack?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Do you have flash installed?
Also, what app do you use to check the linpack? [edit] nevermind. I found it.
33.614.
3.0.1 with flash installed.
36.14 when I uninstalled flash.
I know it's the same range, but it's strange how everything seems faster without flash installed. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it twice today to see if it made a difference, and I think I'm going to leave it uninstalled until next week.
Speaking of Linpack, how does the iPad2 score this:

Is that just an Android vs iOS thing?
First thing I did was unistall flash and then reboot....no good. Then I unintalled most of my apps, reboot, retest, same results. Using linpack app from market.

Does your Linpack score somehow have something to do with how your Xoom performs, real world?

The iPad2 is murdering the xoom in most benchmarks, perhaps it is the better device after all...

True, but that cannot be the only thing at work here. I mean the iPad2 is scoring 5x better than the Xoom in linpack. I highly doubt that the hardware is 5x better than the Xoom, especially when the iPad2's CPU is only clocked at 900mhz.

Anandtech. I would trust their numbers over any other site I can think of. They are legit. You can go check out the numbers in their preview of the iPad2.

I know some of you think benchmarks are wack but I use them from time to time to see if im gaining any better performance from different roms and kernels. Used to use Quadrant all the time but a friend told me about AnTutu on the market. Don't know if any of you have used it, but its free and im kind digging it over Quadrant. Try it out if you haven't. Here are some screen shots.

Thanks will check it out.
Here's a link for anyone wanting to try it out.
Just tried it out. Got a score in the low 1500s. Seems pretty good, although it's kind of depressing not seeing my phone at the top of the list like it always was in Quadrant
Thanks for the heads up

Lol yeah im used to seeing my score at the top too. This bench gives out some useful info tho. More than the free version of quadrant. Don't know if I wanna pay 24 bucks for the pro version of quadrant to see how that is. Sure its a lot better than the free version. Im going to stick with this for a bit until I find something better.
Trigger + Tigersblood = Winning
quadrant pro is bull does nothing but give "detailed" stats which means the same thing this does for free, the bar thing is colored and it gives GPU CPU etc.
After saying all that, i should admit...
I have Quadrant Advanced...
I'll check this out in a sec. thanks for sharing!
I ran this benchmark a couple weeks ago and scored 2081.
I re-ran the benchmark after the recent update, and I just scored 3254 total, which ranks me 30th in the world. Wow!

Hey all,
Just wanted to show you how great the Nexus S is!! "img.tapatalk.com/5658d096-434f-704f.jpg" (just copy everything between " " to your toolbar) its running at a stunning 1.6gHz!!! It became a bit too overclocked sometimes, so I stepped back to 1.3gHz... not bad either, but still less. Show how far you can push your Nexus S (4G) in this thread by posting a screenshot that shows on how much gHz you Nexus S can run.
IF YOUR PHONE ISNT WORKING ANYMORE, BECAUSE YOU PUSHED IT TOO FAR. ITS YOUR OWN MISTAKE. IF YOU POINT AT ME BECAUSE YOU THINK ITS MY FAULT... I WILL BE LAUGHING AT YOU.
Greetzz, Jojoost

removed becasue CPU not score comparison
cpu speed isnt everything. after a certain cpu speed, benchmarks will start getting lower/worse. performance overall will become worse if the cpu speed is set to high. personally, my phones sweetspot is between 1.44 and 1.54ghz. above that, performance starts to drop.

are you lowering your FSB to achieve higher speeds? dont see overall system slowdown unless you are down clocking your FSB to achieve higher CPU speeds? i mean his CPU is allot higher than mine
IDK im more familiar with desktop CPU not mobile think i might get what you're saying maybe an overheat issue and downclcok for protection..idk

I agree.
And if your phone is getter hot. I'm very sure it is. Then you could be damaging it and that could greatly decrease the life spand of your internal components

very funny... tried to OC up to 1540Mhz... the phone start to vibrate (like a female friend) and freezed.... now rebooted... never play again with so high OC
well i got my nexus 7 a few days ago and im enjoying it so far. my question is this: are the quadrant scores supposed to be low? im getting 3450, well below the asus transformer and htc one x. is this normal or is it just me?

stock? testing at what speed? if your stock, that means you are benching at highest/lowest cpu, not highest/highest. which lets your device scale. quadrant doesnt tax your device enough for all four cores to kick in, i bet its even only benching with one core too. theres no way to know what cpu speed or how many cores are being used in the benchmark, so your scores will be random at best. root it, set your cpu speed to highest/highest, turn off tegra hotplug so that all four cores are used, then benchmark.

the kernel you are using has to have the option to do so built into it(most custom kernels do). for example..
tegra hotplug on(default)

all four cores are active
two cores active
also, turning of fsync will increase benchmark score(especially i/o)
Last night I was just messing around and looking at some things trying to figure out the issues with choppy scrolling on our phones since the update and was checking out CPU usage and noticed something interesting...
I saw that two of the CPU cores were being reported as "sleeping" with no activity registered on them...even after running a benchmark there was no activity shown...
A reboot "fixed" the issue and all 4 cores were reporting activity...but then after going to bed, and waking up this morning it is back to the same...I attached a couple of screenshots to show what I'm seeing. You can see in the second picture the "history" clearly shows where the two cores went to sleep...

Isn't the 820 a big/little quad core? You'll only have 2 active at one time.

You can clearly see here...that after rebooting the phone...all 4 cores will register as active for a time...

I was wrong. The SD820 is not big/little it's asymmetrical.
With that said I'm running Geekbench in splitscreen and the highspeed cores are not showing as active.
Going to reboot and try again. If the score is significantly higher.

My AnTuTu scores don't seem to be significantly lower when the cores are "sleeping" maybe 1000 points give or take (on total scores of 150,000+ so not significant) but it's still odd for all of these apps to be having such a hard time accurately reporting the activity on such a popular chipset ya know?

I have noticed the same phenomenon on Xperia XZ (Snapdragon 820 also) after Nougat update. Have not done any benchmarking though.
Whats the path to get to the screenshots you posted???? Or is it an app????
You can also see the utilization is much less. Maybe it's automatic that they wake or sleep based on demand?
I've noticed this too. Have opened up games and many other apps but cant seem to get those 2 cores "awake".
Here's an interesting app I stumbled across: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mediatek.multicoreobserver
With the last update its definitely not turning off any cores. All 4 are staying active and scaling at all times.
