When it comes to benchmarks, one name usually stands above all others: Quadrant. Even though it has been proven to be easily faked, there's just something about running it and see a 3000+ score show up at the end to make you feel your device is untouchable.
Despite its popularity, Quadrant has been missing one key feature: multi-core support. That all changes with an update that was pushed to the Market earlier today, which brings Quadrant up to version 2.0, though. Not only does Quadrant now support multiple-core chips, but the update also brings ICS support, GUI improvements, support for Polish, and a fix for slow frame rates on PowerVR SGX 540 GPUs.

If it would matter, mine would be 3547.
It also occurred to me, that I might have not posted in the correct subforum. If so, I kindly ask Scotty to beam me up and back down a bit to the left.
And in the meantime it also occurred to me, that someone else had posted a similar thread already. I can only blame the forums for not giving me relevant search results.

It's still crap, because it doesn't display per-test scoring so you can know WHAT changed a score.
For example, disabling per-file sync in the filesystem code gains you a few hundred points in Quadrant - in AnTuTu it's clear that this improvement is in database write tests. (It also doesn't skew the scores nearly as much. Quadrant's weighting sucks.)

With ICS 'LPB' i got 3914.

I got 4004 on i9100 with ICS XXLPB
However...
Quadrant reports that my device has only one core, which is quite an important mistake, and some of the graphics tests keep hitting the 60fps ceiling, which ruins the integrity of the test, assuming it is based on measuring the maximum possible framerate.

The s2 framerate is capped at 60 fps because of vsync, it can't be changed..
And Quadrant results are more accurate on quallcomm device.. Other than that results may vary and could even be manipulated, CMIIW
I suggest you to run nenamark2 benchmark instead.. It's free on the market and gives a comparable results too..

The 60fps limit can't be changed, but quadrants graphics test can be made more challenging so that the limiting factor is power rather than the arbitrary fps limit. It's not an accurate test if its hitting the 60fps ceiling.

Hmm... it seems to me that CM9 gets lower scores than other ICS ROMs. That, I think, can be explained by the lack of full kernel support. Let's hope for the better, when they will get their hands on the kernel sources.

Please don't discuss Quadrant scores in this forum. Search "quadrant" in GSII General for the 7 or 8 threads we've closed for the reasons why.
Thanks

Thats odd. Mine turned out much lower than usual:

I read the other day that Samsung use higher clock speeds with benchmark apps, higher than the phone runs normally, which in my eyes means benchmarks on these phones means jack squat! I was going to buy the S4 Mini but because of this I have lost faith in Samsung and have just ordered the HTC Mini. Will post the link when I get back home with what I read.

rofl. If you would read more about this topic, you would find out, that samsung isn't the only one doing this. But I don't see the problem, because first of all I don't really care about benchmarks and secondly I think the purpose of a benchmark is to test the phone on the highest settings.

Maybe others do, but its not right. I use benchmarks when purchasing a phone, so do some others and companies know this, why else would they ramp up scores? And fine if they want to show off their highest settings, but not if these high settings dont actually run for more than 10 minutes before frying your phone. These aren't real world stats which is what they should be showing. I mean who are these high settings benchmarks ment to be for if not everyday users? Personally I think its a scam and ANY company that goes by these rules is shameful...

I can't really understand this whine about specific settings on benchmarks?! People who want the highest score disable everything, use the highest settings, overclock, use fresh install, delete all useless apps etc. Clearly these newbie phone benchmarkers have never done pc benchmarks. And if someone buys a phone because of it's benchmark score then clearly those don't have any idea about real life usage vs benchmarking.

I myself have done many benchmarks both on PC and mobile phones and I myself use the scores I get and compare it against it's physical aspects. Everyone has their own way of buying a phone and you can't judge people for the way they do stuff.

A benchmark is not a good reason to buy a phone, I think you are a fanboy trolling
features man that's the real deal, battery life, network, camera, memory, screen, style construction, etc.
not only a benchmark if you want the best bench score buy the full one not the mini

Benchmarks mean something to me as well. They aren't guidelines to what phone I should choose, but the specifics can give me a good judgement for the aspect I'm intending to improve when upgrading my phone. I had an s3 mini before this and was disappointed by battery life versus performance. I could tell the difference by taking multiple benchmarks at different times during everyday use. I noticed when phones/ROMs have widely varying benchmarks then the battery life and performance would dwindle. The s3 mini on most ROMs would vary by approx 2000 points, and that's a lot.
It's worth noting that a custom ROM can affect the stability of a phones functioning a lot, but it is mostly due to the hardware used when a phone/computer has dwindling performance. The s4 mini for me, has had fairly stable performance and shows it with the battery life. My scores vary between approx 19800 and 20800 with moderate use.

Using Antutu for benchmarks on Samsung devices
You should not use Antutu to benchmark Samsung devices because they are unreliable as the stock ROM will score higher no matter what so if you want real benchmark results then use another program.

[Q] bad score at antutu?:(

hi i was so happy whit my phone and.. i mean i still am i LOVE IT!
anyway today i worried a little bit my n4 at Latest PA gives me score of 12500-12900 around it was under htc one x near s2
is it bad? it was lagging at gpu test i also have snapdragon gruu battery test wanna try it should i worry? or normal? or its coz anything? also the quality of test was HORRIBLE i mean pixels were so giant!!!! anyway should i worry?!!!! i played nfs no lag MC4 no lag something wrong whit my phone? gonna lag on other games?!!
edit: i jsut turned my phone again on while it was at antutu now it says score : 17271 !?!!! is it a bug or thats the real one?!!!! its same as nexus 4!!!!!!

Man just calm down, and forget about what the benchmark score is. Is your phone running smoothly when you normally use it? Im sure the answer is yes, so why does the benchmark score matter so much to you? Oh and I'd advise that you stop running benchmarks, as I've seen quite a few people have issues where their phone shuts off and won't turn back on while they were running benchmarks.

[Q] Hey guys, newbie here, got a question

I am sorry if what im about to ask is already posted somewhere (probably is), but this forum is pretty vast and I couldnt find what im looking for. The question is this, Im using Vanir ROM. Now with the inbuilt kernel I had around 20k benchmark on antutu. I flash hells core, excited to see any difference and whoop, i got 14k. Also i checked the part with 3D testing and fps was higher for about 5-7 points. So what Im asking is this,What is the meaning of this and also how can I, how to put it to not sound noobish, tweak the kernel to perform/save battery etc.?Because Im assuming thats not the top what HellsCore kernel can do, am I right? Or if you guys have any kernels to recommend, all is appreciated. Also if this helps, Im using Nexus 4, Vanir ROM(as posted above) and dont know what else would you need to know to answer.
Thanks in advance
/So I rebooted and now I am on 20840 for some reason.

Benchmarks are not very conclusive abnout anything. Each phone is different each user has different needs and how and where there phone is used. Everyone will tell u to try this kernel and that kernel but u just have to find one that works for you

I get that, i was more concerned about those numbers. Why did it drop to 14k and then went to 20k again.

Probably some patches were included in the rom's kernel, which can affect the scores.
When you flashed another kernel (helldoctor), you stopped using these patches, so scores went down.

Anututu and other benchmarks depend on a number of factors/conditions which affect the final result . The major conditions which affect it result are below
1) The CPU temperature !! When ur phone gets hot the CPU throttle will automatically reduce the active cores and the clock speed to cool down your CPU !! This results in decrease in performance !! When you flash new kernels its possible that ur phone is hot and hence performance decreases
2) Using your phone while running tests also affect the results . for eg if there is a notification during the test or background sync going on it will affect the result
3) probably the kernel packed with vanir had 4 cores active all the time to increase scores and hells core has just 2 cores active ( at a given moment) will mean decreased performance
The ideal way to test kernels is as follows
1) Dirty flash your ROM before flashing kernel
2) Reboot your device after the first boot
3) Let it settle down for an hour
4) turn of data/WiFi during the test
5) see the kernels specs( like cores active/the maximum CPU speed) through an app like trickster/faux clock
6) Now run the test
7) after test let your phone cool down for 15 mins
8) repeat the test a few times and take the average of all scores
Kindly hit the thanks button as a token of appreciation

Antutu was never accurate if you ask me. Sometimes it goes down and the other it went up..so..

I see, thank you guys.

Benchmarks are like putting makeup on.

Benchmark problems with G2 (D805)

My G2 does not reach more than 29k points in Antutu, what's wrong?
I'm using the stock ROM Cloudy 2.2 and Dorimanx Kernel 4.7 without OC.
Anyone have any tips?
Cheers!

Mate as posted a lot of time before, do not worry about benchmarks, they are just to show off. The functionality is what matters.

Sure! I think so too! But it is still strange, there's G2 around without any customization reach values ​​between 33 and 35k. I would just like some clarification to this respect.
