Benchmarks: Stock 2.1 VS Dexter's Froyo 1.3

---

I accept that I am partly 'cheating', as this is not a fair comparison at all. The first numbers are for pure stock 2.1 without JIT or OC, so it runs at 720MhZ. SetCPU was used and set on Performance, to get the best juice out of it.

On the other hand, Dexter's 1.3 Froyo was set to 1GHz with Milestone Overclock + SetCPU set to Performance. JIT is enabled by default on 2.2. Here are the results, which push the phone above stock speeds for Desire and Galaxy, and on par with Droid X 2.2:

BEFORE (2.1):
@720MHZ

SHORT BENCH: 284
LONG BENCH: 1700
NATIVE BNCH: 1203/488
QUADRANT: 527

AFTER (2.2.1):

SHORT BENCH: 176
LONG BENCH: 518
NATIVE BNCH: 849/344
QUADRANT: 1247

Note: In the Benchmarks lower is better. In Quadrant, higher is better.
The increase in Quadrant is from the mid 500s range up to around 1250. I run several tests and the lowest I ever got was 1114, which was probably a one-off situation since most of my other scores were above 1200. I could have tried a higher OC which would probably result in even faster scores, but sadly my CPU is unstable at anything above 1GHz.

Android 2.1 @ 550mhz
Quandrant: 480

Android 2.2.1 @ 1Ghz
Quandrant: 1264

:P

Could XT720 set to same CPU frequency at the compare? so it's more fair.

I think that 2.2 is faster than 2.1, except for the free mem issue

Hello, I'm new in this forum - and i fell in love with the xt720
The test shows, that the xt720 gets ~1200 in quadrant benchmark ,
that means it is as good as the motorola defy right ?
Maybe I'm going to buy a motorola xt720, do you think its the right decision ?
(will not buy defy - because of speaker problem ..)
Wikipedia says, that the Omap3440 has :
OMAP3440 800 MHz - ARMv7 - ARM Cortex-A8 -PowerVR SGX530 - is this right ?
Because I want to buy a phone, which is good in gaming - and the defy is good,
but the xt720 has the same Gpu (?) (powerVr..)

Anyone tested games with overclock ?

Thank you - and sorry for my bad english

Android 2.1 vs Dexters' Froyo 2.2.1 without overclocking

(3 benchmarks average)

Stock XT720 Android 2.1 @ 550mhz
Quandrant: 480

XT720 Android 2.2.1 @ 550mhz
Quandrant: 850

Android 2.2 is twice faster than 2.1 ...
I also made these tests on HTC Legend with Froyo 2.2 results about 200% faster again.

Do you happen to know if you had the egl.cfg tweak? Was it just Dexter's without any tweaks.

i agree that 2.2.1 is much faster than 2.1

but i got lags after 30 hours of up time...and i have checked that the ram available dropped from 50 mb to 30 mb. all the 3 roms are tested, xav's and khal's seem to be better but the lags were noticeable.

well the solution is very simple -- reboot and a snappy xt720 will be back. but it seems quite strange that the phone need to be constantly reboot...

anyone else experience this and anyone got a better solution?

No tweaks added.

I own both the defy(tmo 3.4.2-107 froyo) and xt720(dexter 1.3), to be honest Defy has a better GPU even though model number are the same. I experience very obvious lag playing St. Patrict's day Angry on XT720, but Defy is smooth. And Defy comes with 512 Ram, roughly 120MB is always free.

Battery life on Defy is much better, partly due to larger cell. maybe 45nm processor also helped, this I am not sure.

Strangely the Defy 5MP camera has better image quality compare to 8MP Xt720. 2 images of the same print were taken oat about 5 feet distance, setting are all auto. Characters appears less blur on the one taken by Defy.

This isn't so strange, actually. An 8MP sensor wastes more space behind the lens on circuitry. The circuitry for each pixel subtracts from the area that can be photosensitive. The per-pixel circuitry is pretty much fixed in size. So 8MP means 3M more circuits than 8MP but in the same area. Thus for the same size sensor, a 5MP sensor has less overall area devoted to circuitry and more devoted to detecting photons compared to 8MP.
