Amazing Gpu performance -underclocked cpu benchmarks

Our phones cannot display more then ~56 fps due to vsync
Test settings: JM2, samset 1.8, mimocans ext4 fix + dalvik cache sent to nand, 8gb class 6 sd, all benchmarks were only run once.
Neocore:
200mhz : 36.8 fps
400mhz : 56 fps
800mhz : 56 fps
1000mhz : 56 fps
Yes, with our cpu reduced by 80% we still beat the nexus one and other froyo omapp/snapdragon cpu's in neocore.
Quadrant: (world & moon, the others are more difficult to test)
200mhz : 40fps : 410 Quadrant
400mhz : 56fps : 789 Quadrant
800mhz : 56fps : 1532 Quadrant
1000mhz: 56fps: 1762 Quadrant
Fps2d is 56 fps at all cpu settings.
-IMPORTANT-
Due to the nature of vsync we have no idea what fps we could be getting, Generally when you scale down cpu performance the bandwidth available for the gpu decreases dramatically as the processor cannot handle the new frames to keep up with the gpu. What this is showing us is that in neocore at 1000mhz we only require 20% of the cpu to get 36.8 fps and somewhere around 300mhz to get to the 56fps vsync cap. For all i know the gpu might only be able to output 70 fps without vsync at 1,000mhz, the question is by how much does reducing the cpu speed effect the available bandwidth to the gpu
This shows us:
1. Our gpu is largely held back by the frame-limit, the cpu also has an impact on the gpu performance.
2. We need better benchmarks to test only 3d performance, many of the 3d tests in quadrant are either heavy on the cpu, or are 2d tests. And neocore is simply not taxing enough on our gpu.
3. Need to find a way to remove vsync
4. Its a powerful beast! looking forward to froyo

Look foward to GLbenchmark 2.0
Even currently in 1.1 it's showing some impressive results, even though it's not supported very well on latest-gen gpu's (SGX530/535/540 mostly)

*off topic*
Would you please link / pm me to the Sd card you are using?

Its a Samsung 8gb class 6

would underclocking the cpu to 600mhz for example help increase battery performance, or it it mostly the screen that drains the battery?

its mostly the screen

But really really great research there !
Its nice to know.. Hehe..
The next thing i would like too see is quadrant tests where the SGS has undergone the Lagfix and then with different SD cards

Linpack score of 30+ on a stable ROM?

Hi,
I'm told that the Droid-X is comparable with the Snapdragon CPU.
So far what I've seen first hand:
1. My son's Optimus (Qaulcomm Arm V6) on Cyogen 7 @ 800 MHz runs Linpack at 36 MFLOPS!
2. HTC Incredible S (Snapdragon) (stock?) runs 31 MFLOPS.
3. My Droid-X currently 12 MFLOPS, best is 16 MFLOPS.
I'm looking for 30+ MFLOPS, anyone know?
NOTE: Linpack free is in the Android Market and measures the raw computing power, Millions of Floating Point Operations per Second.
Thanks!

how about your quadrant score when you use 2.3.x?

I installed CM7 with DSC Phoenix test2,overclock to 1344MHz.
when I bench with Quadrant Advanced ver2.1, my score is >1300 to 1400.
It's lower than my old milestone 1 (with CPU 600 MHz Cortex-A8 and GPU PowerVR SGX530, overclock to 1,1Ghz). quadrant score of milestone1 is > 1700. I dont know why?
And this morning I tested with HTC Incredible S of my friend (CPU 1 GHz Scorpion
and GPU Adreno 205, ICS rom without overclock). Score is > 1900.
Is my streak weak? I cant believe streak5 is slower than milestone1 and HTC Incredible S.
how about you?

I think many on here will agree with me when I say forget about the benchmark scores. They largely mean nothing as it relates to real world performance and you can drive yourself crazy trying to tweak your phone to death to increase the numbers. With that being said, the performance hit is likely in the file i/o section.

As normal user and not a programmer, I dont understand about the file i/o section. But thanks you, Lordmorphous. So I'll forget foolish scores, what a stupid app =))

File I/O = File input and output, which in simpler language is the act of reading and writing to the MicroSD cards.
Quadrant and other such benchmark tools are fun to run, but they don't mean much. To properly test a device requires a benchmark program like Futuremark's PCMark, which includes real-world applications and simulates real-world usage. There is no such benchmark app for Android however.

though, if you guys notice the benchmark for the quadrant advance 2.x, the i/o score for our DS5 does a bit low compared to others but... well you know, it just numbers... nothing more.. nothing less...
however, cpu power does have the impact when overclocked, for let say using default cpu speed of 1ghz, software decoding is a bit slow compared to overclocked 1.2ghz...
just my 2 cents

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) ROM performance roundup.

Hello guys.
After few days flashing and testing, here's a short performance report for few ROM benchmarks on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. For performance testing is used Quadrant Standard Benchmark, as it's pretty quick. Results are sorted by overall performance, descending.
All tests were performed with no intensive/working background processes. Min - max values are several tests stock, if overclocking is not specified.

If you have just flashed another ROM and wish to share results, let's add it to the list.
DEVs, thank you for the hard work and sleepless nights!

This is to show you how bloated Stock DN4 is. I can't imagine those ROMs at the bottom of the list.

Interesting comparison and it has some entertainment value as well. Has there ever been an Android ROM release thread where people don't swear that it's simultaneously the fastest, smoothest and most stable ROM evaaaaaaaaar????? I've used some truly flaky, laggy, crashing, broken ROMs on various devices and in every case there were people evangelising that this was the real experience.....lol. But benchmark apps don't succumb to bias and the numbers make for great comparisons. Of course what is missing is a comparison with stock Samsung TW on the same hardware. Currently I'm running a Note I (GT-N7000) but my newly purchased (but second hand) Note II (GT-N7105) is due for delivery tomorrow. I'll get it set up totally default with google account signed in and updated to whatever official version is newest and then install Quadrant and post the results for a comparison.

I ran Quadrant on my Note GT-N7105. I know it's not identical hardware but anyway...
This is stock rom, rooted, powersave disabled, device docked and charging. No overclocking or any other excitement.

I ran the benchmarks a few times (after killing all apps and clearing RAM) and the results do vary, but not by a huge amount. The results above are just the last ones I did. Some others had better figures for certain benchmarks, worse for others, but nothing interesting or notable.
The one thing that strikes me is how bad 2D performance is in ROMs compared to stock Samsung firmwares. I also noticed this (but without any measurements or data) on my Note I (GT-N7000) where Firefox and Chrome scroll really smoothly in Samsung firmware but were always jerky and stuttery in every Rom I tried, both KitKat and LP.

To be fair, you can compare my DN4 results with OP, there's a big difference in numbers between "Stock" DN4 and my personal installation after I took the time to debloat it. Sometimes it's not simply about people evangelising a ROM.

And yes, T-Mo sucks here lol.

How did u get over 47k in antutu?

Geekbench isn't really a good source at the moment. It is limited to 32-bit, so it can't utilize the full potential of the SoC.
They need to release a 64-bit compliant version to really be able to run the tests correctly.

I have not BM mine yet but based on those numbers.... WOW!!!!
I am also considering the price of the phone vs the scores when I say that.
The S6 comes in at nearly 68k on Antutu but the 48k score still puts this phone in the current top 10.
