Did some testing with clock speeds today. If you're squeamish look away now lol. :laugh:
Flashed the 720p extremekernel as I said I would do and started testing the phone with extreme clocks.
Phone seems to be stable clocked at 2.3ghz. Eats the battery like anything though, Ran a few benchmarks, did some gaming, battery even goes down whilst on charge. So this isn't practical for everyday use, but it is an amazing achievement for the phone!!!
Here's some screenies. Bear in mind that mine is an everyday phone. I have multiple apps installed and running. With a fresh install of a speed focused rom, apps frozen etc these scores would be even higher! These scores were done without sd card speeds too as I had to have the phone connected to the pc to stop it dying lol. Also, this is the 720p version. 000p would be even more interesting.
Also took a pic of my storage status. You can see the extra internal memory with this kernel. I went from DoomKernel to this and everything works as it should which I was very shocked about!!!
Thanks to @extremetempz for this madness!!!
Anyway, enjoy....
What rom were u using? And did u have adreno booster installed as with it you would probably get like +2000 more points,
Also great achievement, I can oc to 2.3 ghz also but only when hooked up to mains, and without direct power I can get up to 2ghz,

It is the Xperia NXT V2 with AdrenoBoost installed. I wasnt that bothered about the score either way, more that it would run the whole benchmark without freezing. Mine was running fine without being plugged in but the battery was getting destroyed so had to plug it in before it died (you can see how low I was in the screenshots lol).
Did a test first without adreno booster, then with adreno booster. Same conditions, fresh reboot, and adreno booster bench marked lower.
Without adreno booster .7
With adrenobooster .7

Just tested again with adreno and got 7194. Fluctuating by +/- 500 points under identical circumstances shows clearly benchmarks (antutu at least) are useless.

adrenobooster only works better at lower cpu frequencies..as highest you put cpu,lower are the results..most of my bench are between 1.4/1.6 ghz.

Why has this turned into a speed competition? I was just saying that I was surprised how well the phone copes at 2.3ghz finishing the benchmark. I posted my result as I was happy that it was higher than I previously had but I wasn't meaning it to be a competition of bragging?. Everyone's setup is different and everyone will get different results. Im happy with mine, that's all that matters to me!

I'm not bragging. I'm showing how benchmarking is inconsistent and pointless, and various tweaks can often be placebo. What I'm saying is, what's the point in 2.3ghz if there's no real world gain.

The benchmark is used as a mini stress test. Quick way to just see how the phone gets on under various testing conditions. Believe me, I know all about benchmark results meaning nothing. I own an AMD CPU in my pc and going by benchmark scores you'd think that it was only good for the bin but real world its as good as any Intel CPU, it's just that most benchmarks are not optimized for use with AMD architecture, making the Intel's look better than they really are.
The overclocks do make a real world difference. Many people have reported framerate gains in games having an overclock. PPSSPP is reported to respond well to overclocking too. And as for saying what is the point, you could say what is the point of buying a faster car when you can only do 70mph. The answer is 'because I can'!

Thanks Ozzmanj1. That was literally only the reason I did it. As I said about the battery situation, it's totally useless for day to day use, just an experiment really.
Sent from my 1.9ghz Xperia PLAY!!
We've known 2.3ghz is possible, but that it depends on your board and it could and most likely will fry. The heat+battery drain is dangerous/unstable.
What you're doing isnt like buying a fast new car, its more like tuning your 100mph car to go 230mph, the engine will eventually explode.
Although we all like to watch a car go 230mph and can appreciate it, there should be a big "DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME" warning for All the kids who want to try it themselves.
I just want to warn others who read this, unless you value your xperia play, please do not try to replicate these results. You could very likely end up with a paper weight.

Finally we have a fair test for the dual cores. Just been running it and i have the top 5 scores!!
Is that 1608mhz , your phone must be on fire
Now have 150.595. It was a bit warm. I expect it to fall as the number one soon, i m sure there are guys on here with over 1.7ghz. I cant seem to get that to stay stable.
Finally! My highest (1.2) was 122 although that was an inconsistent result. My average high is around 100. Wonder what the Sensation and Tegra devices are hitting.....
Regards.
Best i can do so far.
I'm getting wildly inconsistent results. Managed to get 120 at 1200mhz with a accuracy of 2.2 after a dozen runs.

Precision: Inconsistent Result
I would love to know how many people have hardware bricked their xplay through extreme Overclocking. You will hear many warnings about bricking your phone through OCing on the forums but I don't know of one person who has actually done it. I always feel a little uncomfortable when I OC my devicedue to the fear of hardware failure.
Ive been running mine overclocked to 1.5Ghz for about 24hrs now with no issue
Between 1.2 and 1.5 are the safe operating parameters for the Xperia Play. It differs from handset to handset though. Yours might be unstable at a lower overclock than mine for example.
Best thing to do if you plan on OCing is to try it in increments to find the limit for your Play. If it starts acting unstable at say, 1.5Ghz, then set it to the setting below that (1.4)
1,6 is save for me at 2,0 GhZ it stocked and i have to restart my phone^^
OC
It's like PC CPU overclocking. When you give it too high frequency, it may reboot. Here is potential hazard. If the phone don't turn off, it can burn your phone CPU. But there also (like on PC) many things, that may prevent crash.
You can always use the app Stability Test from Android Market to see which OC speed is best for your phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.into.stability&hl=en
1.9ghz with all governors and I/O settings work for me.
Once I select 2.0ghz the phone shuts off. I never changed voltage values. Perhaps a bump in voltage would get me to 2.0ghz?
I'm not so keen on taking such a risk anyway.
I do think not all Xperia Plays are created equally and consider myself lucky to reach 1.9ghz. The only time I overclock it that high is when I'm using N64oid or GTA3 to prevent occasional lag.
I think 1.6ghz is the sweetspot for most phones.

I have cooked a few graphics cards in my time so never push my play more than 1.6 ghz I dont want this badboy to break in any way
I have to use 1.6 using doomkernal with smartass. If I go any higher then that, Dolphin Mini won't load properly :/
So who has run their phone at 1.4ghz or above for say a year or more?
My PC has been running an OC of about 30% for about 2 years. I know it will shorten the lifespan of my hardware, but who will keep a PC for 10 years anyway. It will be a dinosaur by then.
If I get 2 years from my phone that is enough
I don't see the point of overclocking all the time... for battery saving if nothing else...(?) Maybe the preinstalled R800i UK stock ROM is better and less bloated than what some people get, but 1GHz with the Snapdragon is fine for general use... web browsing, Shadowgun, Asphalt 6, FIFA, Riptide ... all ran well when I wasn't even rooted. Those games are sold for our phones anyway...
But 1.7GHz is definitely over the limit for me as well. Freeze / reboot after a few minutes.
Since Im using DoomKernel my phone is allways overclocked and i have no problems
For daily usage im using MAX 1,3 / MIN 1,0 and GOUV: Smartassv2 or Powersave.
Only for Quadrant tests sometimes i really set it to 1,8 GHZ

I think I'm not going to do it until after I've bought a pair of asbestos gloves.
I noticed a lot of overheating when I had my device running on stock 1.7Ghz or higher. Really annoying that it would stop charging due to the battery overheating while in the car dock.
I have actually underclocked my device to 1.3Ghz and maintained much better battery life, with no noticeable slowdowns during usage.
This is old news if you've been following the ElementalX thread.
There's a bottleneck somewhere that prevents 2.1Ghz from being usable, plus it's probably pushing it too much.
Plus the fact it's not really needed.
Great.. now I can run my already blazing fast One even faster and get better benchmark scores! Because we all know that's what really matters.
In all seriousness there really is no need to oc devices of today. Now if you're running an old phone with slow cpu I can see the need.. but the only thing ocing is really good for is benchmarks and an external heater.

2.3GHz
I'm currently going where no developer would go before my customized kernel has 26 CPU frequinces all up and a max of 2.3GHz
But without the GPU overclock and a 8mb GPU memory vs Lupus and dooms 4mb
i cant go even more than 1.6ghz
Needed an extra cooler solution and an powerful battery, like Mugen 3600mAh, to maintain this level of OC for diary use. Would be amazing!

Wait, what? Lupus Kernel offers increased amount of VRAM?
IMHO this is perfectly fine if you don't care so much about the device, otherwise you would be crazy. OC'ng so high will eventually cause in-reversable damage. I know what your doing so no need for me to ask questions But even if its stable for you it wont be for others all depends on the chip and as we know each is different. Also even if people don't use 2.x ghz frequencies tend to jump to the highest for a mili second if even on boot, causing problems with the device actually booting.
Well just my 2 cents on OC'ing...

At the end of the day its not GMEM which is essentially like a processors cache. Our chip has 256kb of it. But the allocated VMEM, would upping it to 8MB provide any sort of performance increase?

Can you post some benchmarks for the CPU? And also tell us more about the VRAM... Did it make any difference?
I believe that the Xplay has good chances of reach 2.0GHZ, running fine, provided has an good thermal solution. In my test, the games run fine for some minutes, before start overheat. Needed of somebody to build an custom cooler, then, make some tests. In my opinion, the safe clock, for sure, is not only 1.6GHZ. Only for default cooler.

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...

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?

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.

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.

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.
Using

Anyone yet tested OpenGL ES 3.0 on Antutu, what kind of scores are you getting
Mine: 3816

very good bencmarks, my mini duos is arriving, :laugh:
Here is screenshots of over clocked serrano-x kernel. It's still not stable but I can run 2ghz without reboots.
