Quadrant, Linkpack and Neocore Scores

I got an average of:
Quadrant : 2,400
Linpack: 36
Neocore: 54.2 (although I saw it going as high as 62)
Enjoy

that's a bit of a downer on the computing side!
my n1 consistently gets 38-40 linpack. figured the dual core would do much better...

do these programs recognize the dualcore processor yet?

I really don't think they actually recognize the dual core models.

The amount of time it takes the os to perform calculations has nothing to do with the benchmark app...

If its not multi thread then it totally does matter what the app does.

You are absolutely correct - must've had a brain cramp!
At what point does the android kernel begin to support multi-threading? I'm guessing we'll be seeing huge performance gains with 2.3/2.4 and as app devs begin building mt support in to their apps...

Open mouth, insert foot! DC means everything to the "tech heads" that know how to use it and build mt support in to their apps - and that includes the google devs.

That's fantastic. Let's try that again, though. What did you Nexus S pull when it was completely stock? 1500 or so?
Otherwise, as has been said already, the benchmarks are likely only taxing one core at the moment, as I doubt the kernel on the phone is setup for auto-aggregation, etc. Even if it is, apps written specifically for multi-threading will be significantly faster.
I love the Nexus S as much as the next guy, but let's revisit this conversation once the Atrix launches and has had a chance for some real dev support, shall we?

It doesn't necessarily have to be the app that supports multi-threading. If the kernel supports it then it would assign a core for the apps to work on based on the workload. This would speed up the system regardless of what the apps for designed for because the apps wouldn't know any better. Regardless though, it wouldn't help the benchmark if it is only one process. But then again, if it does everything you want better the last phone, does it matter? (I know I know... we all want our big numbers)
With any luck we'll find out today.

But in the case of benchmarking apps it would, because they are specifically designed to use all available resources. If they are single thread, they aren't using multiple cores.
These are some of the highest benchmarking scores I have seen out of the box, but I don't think they are optimized to use DC's yet.

Froyo supports dual core fine. It just doesn't support breaking up apps threads to schedule across both cores unless the app is multi-threaded.

The picture above makes it quite obvious with the “Galaxy S II” logo printed on the back. While this is expected to be a rather minor upgrade, with no major changes, a few improvements are expected, such as a seemingly larger 4.5-inch display, as opposed to the current Galaxy S II’s 4.3-inch one, and support for T-Mobile’s faster HSPA+ 42Mbps connection.
Much like the original Galaxy S II, this slightly revised model is expected to include the hardware and features that made the previous one successful, namely its dual-core 1.2 GHz SoC processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, an 8-megapixel camera and the ability to output fully uncompressed 1080p high-definition video through its built-in HDMI port. There are no apparent changes software-wise: much like the original release, the revised Galaxy S II is expected to include the latest version of Android, 2.3 Gingerbread, along with Samsung’s custom TouchWiz interface, which is aimed at streamlining Android’s standard user experience. The phone’s back now sports a brushed metal look as well, contrasting with previous Galaxy S II models.
Although the handset is not yet available through a carrier in the US, its release is projected to take place sometime this month. In addition to T-Mobile, this variant of the Galaxy S II is expected to also be available North of the border through the Canadian carrier Telus.

So what? I don't care, we're talking about SGS2

Looks like a bigger, slimmer nexus s. In my opinion not bad looking, we have to just see if the specs remain the same as original sgs2 or not. Also not sure how comfortable it will be holding a 4.5 inch screen for one hand typing.

On the other hand if this doesnt have the exynos chip i think ill pass and hold out for the nexus prime.

okay, i just got my tmo samsung galaxy s 2 as early relase and ran few tests.
i did regular quadrant, smartbench 2011, cf bench.
tested couple times for each.
here are the results.
ps. i forgot to post it, but i also did speed test, and i've been getting 10+ Mbps download speeds and about 3~5 upload. I live in Philadelphia
i also did vallemo, the score ranged from late 800s to mid 900s.
worth buying it or not?

Can you play MKV's in the stock video player?
The lack of good out-of-the-box video support is what's holding me back from getting a non-exynos version of the sgs2.

This phone is a beast exynos or no exynos processor. if it cant play MKV format movies out of the box there's an app for that. i would really like to see a web browsing experience with the Hercules.

It should be able to as Samsung has a whole bunch of codecs which wouldn't be hard to implement into qualcomm s3 processor.

The S4 is damn good and better on battery than the Exynos in all likelihood. The 2GB of RAM is a bigger upgrade than 2 more cores would be IMO.

Occasionally we'll see performance numbers that just make us laugh at their absurdity. Krait's Linpack performance is no exception. The performance advantage here is insane. The MSM8960 is able to deliver more than twice the performance of any currently shipping SoC. The gains are likely due in no small part to improvements in Krait's cache/memory controller. Krait can also issue multi-issue FP instructions, A9 class architectures can apparenty only dual-issue integer instructions.

agreed, don't let the "moar corez is bettar" bug bite you.......anyone remember Pentium 4 cpu's clock for clock when AMD released their couterparts? I do. Architecture is where it's at. How much gets done per clock matters far more than how many "ticks" you can go through.

Hmm, for every day tasks (multitasking between apps, browsing web, checking XDA, and the occasional angry birds) I don't see why the dual core with a whopping 2 gigs of ram (bump from the 1 gig the int. phones have) is any thing to complain about. Not like I'm doing complex and processor taxing things on the phone. I'm hoping for great things from this phone and am planning on picking one up day one. Quad core / dual core .... It's just a phone. I'll go to my desktop if I really need to... Lol

Finally us cellular gets in the game! Good to see, I will definitely be getting this phone seeing that I use it as a media player and it has the wolfson chip that supercurio can develop on. S2 disappoints me. Processor won't matter so much to me as I'm not depending on it to do any of my heavy lifting like my pc, so long as its dual core I'll be happy. More ram is definitely a plus. Needless to say I will be seeing many of you in those forums soon enough, doubt it will be launch day though.

Amazing? No sign of U.S. S3 Variants

Isn't it amazing that almost 6 days before the release of the Galaxy s 3 in the U.S. that there's been no leakage of benchmarks, T mobile software on the S3 or anything pertaining to comparison between the 2gigs and S4 vs the Exynos edition?
It's just different because we usually have something besides specs when there's less than a week to go for a release.
I don't want to waste my time purchasing the phone and having to send it back because it's not as smooth as the UK varient. I truly wanted exynos but currently banking on the 2 gigs for a wash. Samsung and T -mo won't be getting my $650 if not

They haven't tested this particular SoC, but there are plenty of tests and benchmarks with the US version of the HTC One X, and that thing runs great. So you are safe to assume the Galaxy S III will run smooth, especially since it has 2GB of ram instead of 1GB on the One X.
Don't worry, the phone is gonna feel buttery smooth.

cool.. I've noticed the HTC One x web browsing and smoothness throughout sense 4/ICS wasn't all that smooth.. I also had the HTC one s from T mobile and it wasn't as fast a benchmarks indicated with real life use.. Now maybe that's just because of a buggy sense 4.0 or the fact that the S4 is just a number puncher and not a buttery smooth processor like the Exynos definitely is.

Thanks for sharing it. Strange that the international gs3 with lower single threaded values outperforms it in quadrant.

first time i saw a 6000 score.. that's probably rooted with processor tweaks

thanks for the link for the S4 chip!
there have been lots of debate regarding the S4 vs Exynos. imo, the S4 is a better CPU whereas the Exynos has the better GPU.
i've said this time and time again, if you upload/download a lot of files (esp big ones), the S4 is the one for you. if you want to play a lot of high end games on your phone, the Exynos is for you, though not many games take advantage of that right now.
on the CPU front, no applications make use of quad-core. a lot of apps have just now started making use of quad-cores.

It is running siyah kernel with 1400 processor speed no oc or UV.

I agree with the OP - very freaking odd that none have showed up on eBay, stores know nothing about it, no reviews, nothing.

Thanks... However, i feel that the Enynos in the Galaxy s 2 was so smooth that Android should make it mandatory for all android handsets lol... GPU must have to do with the browser performance as well because of the graphics in pinch to zoom.. I have yet to see a browser, even with the s4 (HTC series phones) zoom in and out of flash heavy websites with buttery smooth performance like the exynos ALWAYS DOES. That's what I'm looking for. Hopefully this verision will be as buttery as the Exynos.. people wonder why it's so popular.. it's just that gooood!

I just want to know what soundchip the U.S variant has.

First video I've seen with a US variant:

Lol, hey at least she showed us a US variant on video. No one else has.

While I agree the video wasn't great, it wasn't a review. Kudos to Radio Shack though for being the only ones to actually post ANYTHING about the phone beyond a release date.
