Iconia A500 is awesomly fast (benchmark) - Acer Iconia A500

Check out this benchmark!
So far the A500 has the best performance and is one of the quickest in JavaScript.
P.S. Check how lame the A4 scores

quadrant score

has any body done a quadrant score on a galaxy tab if not can you do one as i think the froyo on the tab will be faster then the rubish froyo released for ther galaxy s
See existing thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823930
Thanks more or.less the same as the galaxy s
I think chasing benchmarks isnt particularly helpful. The Tab is nowhere near the level of performance its quadrant scores would suggest.
I haven't even bothered testing myself, because the Tab is at least as responsive as my HTC Desire.

Snap. My Desire usually pushed quadrant scores of about 1800 and my Tab just over 1000 but the Tab is so much smoother. Quadrant scores dont show how good the phone/tab actually are for performance as such.

Acer Iconia A500 Full Benchmark Test

Iconia Tab A500 scored 1895 in the Benchmark test, see pics below.
stock i was getting 2100s also this need to be moved to general area no dev area.
i get well over 2300
I'd like to see how it stacks up against other HC tablets...
I got 2187 with CPU Tuner set to "performance"
i bought "set cpu" for 1.99 and set custom lowest 927 mhz highest 1ghz
This belongs in the general section -> has nothing to do with Dev
How do you guys get such high scores? On Engadget's review they state that they got 2200 - 2300 on Quadrant, however on my Tab I get around 1900 every time like the OP... Also on Linpack I get 37Gflops, Engadget say the Tab breaks 42Gflops... Is there a dual core optimized version of Quadrant and Linpack?
How many apps do u have.
also when they run benchmarks they normally kill all the tasked with advanced task killer before running.
I do a fresh reboot with all task killed, run them both get between 2100-2300 usually then about 43-45 teraflops
This has to be MegaFLOPS ya?? i mean TeraFLOPS a bit high expected from a RISC SOC isnt it? and by the way we need overclocked kernal for A500 I see Xoom hit 65 MFLOPS with 1.5GHz clock speed!
i rot 42,3 megaflops in linpack andere between 2200 - 2300 in quadrant...
i got 2400+ on Quadrant
Whatever I do I never get over 1930..
Do you have a live wallpaper on?
In quadrant, I normally get just under 2000 the first run, then if i run it a 2nd time my scores are between 2000 - 2300, just as mentioned.
Yea, it would be nice for a kernel hack, to speed up the a500 if needed. Its not a must for me, as battery times plays more of a factor.

My £200 advent vega tab is well faster than my Iconia in both quadrant and smartbench 2011,#
Just one more reason to get this thing unlocked so we can get it over-clocked.

Atrix 4g faster than Acer Iconia A500

So I ran some benchmarks today between my Acer Iconia a500 and my brothers motorola atrix 4g.
Quadrent.
Acer Iconia 2130
Atrix 4g 2586
How is it the atrix scores higher they both have tegra 2 chip and a gig of ram and he had a crapload of background task open also. In line pack i get bout 43 flops his around 55-70
Just found this interesting.

A couple reasons. Quadrant is synthetic first of all, and only looking at one core. Synthetic means it's testing real world performance and not the actual hardware performance - this is great when you're testing 2 phones with the same resolution and similar guts but not 2 products that are this different.
The resolution of the Atrix is less than the A500 and Quadrant is testing at full screen so this weighs down the A500s results vs. the Atrix in synthetic benchmarks. Honeycomb is also significantly heavier than Gingerbread is. This means that for all intents and purposes, no Honeycomb device (tablet) will beat Gingerbread devices (phones) in these apps because Honeycomb right now is just too slow compared to GB. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's slow as in laggy I just mean it needs more optimizations and streamlining on tablets to catch up to how lean Gingerbread is on phones, especially in a case where we're talking about just 1 core.
Honeycomb is the Cupcake of Android for phones, so this is not a bad score at all.
You want to use something like Smartbench 2011 to test dual core stuff. It's synthetic as well, but it tests everything at the same resolution and will see both cores. Linpack also doesn't support multi-cores yet. Granted, the Atrix may still beat the A500 in Smartbench 2011, but it should be a much closer number like a matter of 100 or 200 or so. If the A500 beats the Atrix it's more than likely getting an unfair (but realistic) boost from not utilizing the full screen size for gfx tests.
Dont pay too much attention to those scores anyway.

Quadrant is a total waste of time as a benchmark as it doesn't give you any real indication of the difference in speed between two different devices. However, it should be said that my Transformer does pull 3000+ on Quadrant running MoDaCo's custom ROM, and given that the hardware is almost identical between the A500 and Transformer, I would expect them to be broadly similar in terms of real world performance.

As soon as we get unlazy and make one? I need to upgrade my hard drives to have any more space otherwise I'd at least **** around recompiling kernels etc. Also, have they even released the source for ours?
I get 2800+ everytime I do quadrant on my A500.. no complaints, but I am running CM7 on my touch4G and get 2600+ on that too. so I hate quadrant... it sucks..
Not sure how you get 2800 without custom kernel\rom. That is around a 30% increase from stock. My galaxy tab and sgs don't get the same benchmarks and they have the same cpu\gpu but different screen resolutions. The cpu\gpu work a lot harder with the higher resolution screens.

Performance Concerns

Why is everyone saying this tablet has lower performance than the likes of other Tegra 2 tablets? Shouldn't it be pretty much the same? For example, Engadget said it only got a 1500 in quadrant and that it wasn't too nice with games whereas other tablets did just fine. I'm concerned about this because my primary use for a tablet would be gaming and web browsing.
Regarding the Quadrant score.
The Transformer shipped with 3.0.1 and had a Quadrant score of around 2000. After updating to 3.1 the score dropped to 1500.
I'm hearing the same thing with the Galaxy Tab now, with 3.0.1 it had scores of around 2000 and post 3.1 they dropped to 1500.
Yet at the same time Transformer owners felt that despite the Quadrant score drop, the tablet did feel slightly more responsive and quicker. Not sure what is causing the Quadrant scores to drop, but it might be an example of why we shouldn't put too much stock in just benchmarks.
I haven't heard anything negative about the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and gaming performance.
Sadly the Android 3.1 update did make the stock browser keyboard really laggy with the Transformer. Don't know how much this has affected the browser with the Galaxy Tab, though I created a thread about it and it doesn't sounds like it's as big of an issue as it has been for the Transformer.
I got around 1500 as well. Its funny because my Droid x is getting almost 1700. The tablet feels much snappier then the X. I wouldn't worry about the numbers. Maybe Quadrant needs an update.

Just like computer video cards... Don't put a lot of faith into synthetic benchmarks... It's all about the real world frame rates and speed...
Reminds me of an ancient editorial at HardOCP as to why synthetic benchmarks are generally bad.

Disappointing benchmarks

anybody else getting results like this? What can I do to improve on this. The tablet is not rooted.

Third one down is my result.

I didn't benchmark but my tf300 feels faster than my hox, a fair bit actually....
I'm not at all disappointed (and it will only get better)
Edit: I've only done the build.prop modifications in the thread mentioned below.
I have never been one to hover over benchmark scores. But for not running optimized custom roms, the only really thing you can try is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641219

You. No.
Here are some benches after rooting and clocking to 1.5.
I also watched a video from Richie's closet on YouTube the Asus infinity tf700 vs ipad 3. So I tried 2 of the benchmark tests they used.
First one mine beat the ipad 3 by 15 to 20,000 but the tf700 got like 40,000 more.
Second one beat both ipad 3 by triple the score and beat the tf700 by 200.
So I am happy with the tf300 performance.

Quadrant is a bad benchmark, can be influenced easily an score is heavily dependand on IO performance.
Hence the relatively bad scores for the transformers.... internal memory performance is very bad!
I tried overclocking with antutu cpu but I wasn't getting any performance gains when I benchmarked.
I respecfully suggest the quadrant scores do correlate. Over the past year I have had the following tabs and here is the rank in actual performance, using MAME Reloaded, FPse and N64 to test ram speed and cpu power (GPU as well for FPSe and N64). The HTC View is an apparent exception to the ranking from a single and dual core standard.
Thrive
View (Thrive benches better for some benchmarks, but actual View usage seems smoother- 1ghz vs 1.5ghz).
A510/TF300 Basically a tie (within 100 points).
Prime
Excite
Excite benchmarks about 13% faster than the A510/TF300 and the FPS of the emulators (on average) correlate. That said, ignorance is bliss, so if you do not actually sit with them and nitpick, they are all functionally the same for performance- IMO.
One thing I did notice is in spite of the View being a single core S4, it's 1.5ghz speed and memory channel appears better when downloading apps at the same time than the Tegra 2 and 3. All three SoCs have single channel memory, so none will win multi task battles. BTW, the memory channel (edit) a constraint/bottleneck most users experience when trying to download from the market or other sources while trying to run certain apps that are also using it.
Added: The 28nm S4 dual that is in the newer phones actually blows our Tegra 3 away for performance. In part due to the dual channel memory. I would prefer that SoC in the TF300 since also even better battery life and runs cooler (both due to the 28nm).
Sadly, it will be a while before we see many tablets with it since demand for then new phones from HTC and especially Samsung are killing supply until first quarter next year.

No its not the memory channel that's the bottleneck, it's not RAM that performs bad it's the internal storage.
I dont know what tegra2 device you tested but the Transformer1 performs aprox the same as the tf201\tf300 IO-wise (bad).

Very true on the flash being a part of the factor! Since a series process (especially with single channel) you are only as good as your weakest link. The only Tegra 2 tabs I have had are the A500 (only a few days) and the Thrive.
I find all the tablets noted above to have some issues with downloading from market and using other apps at same time to be near as bad. Again, the HTC View seems better and probably due to your point.
yep
My score was around 10k... but I'm waiting for some Genius to OC the kernel to blow those scores out of the water... i read in the Dev thread someone is using Faux kernel... (or asked him for help) either way I'm waiting for a Legit ROM with an even more legit OC Kernel
I think 10k is not bad at all for me considering that im using stock ROM. Plus, it really feels fast.

How do you get to 10k using the stock rom? Anything else than the build.prop?
I always match transformer prime or a bit more on antutu benchnark.. also this is not 1.5ghz on performance mode. Every single app atm missreads the tablet for 1.5 when it is 1.2. I have tried overclocking and when set to 1.5 it will score same as set to 1.2.
Dont forget to set performance mode before benchmarking and be on a fresh boot
