Linpack- HD2 vs other Snapdragon Phones

---

I have noticed that the HD2 gets around 26-28mflops in most of the froyo android builds, but devices like the nexus one with the same CPU manages up to 38mflops. Why do we have this difference? Is it just because android is not optimized enough for the HD2? Can we expect to eventually be able to run Android as fast as the other phones?

Thanks

I'm almost 100% sure that it will eventually be at least as fast as the nexus one..

dude if you look at the white sheet, nexus one and HD2 are almost identical, hardware wise.. the only thing that separates the two are the screen size and of course the operating system for both phones.. otherwise they're the same.. the only reason being why the HD2 is only getting 26-28 mflops as opposed to the nexus one's 38 is because the HD2's android builds are still in beta and running from the sd cards as opposed to the nexus' running from the rom which will always be faster..

Yes, I made it clear that the nexus one has very similar hardware and that is why the linpack scores are of interest. The question is, will these android builds ever be optimized enough allow the HD2 to match native android devices like the N1?

Think you just answered your own question....

But to add to that, of course it will.

I think the biggest factor would be the type of sdcard running the android build in the HD2. The test didnt even mention what class sd card was used in the HD2 tests.

And of course, optimization. I have great faith in our most excellent devs. See how much weve grown by leaps and bounds ina months time. Imagine what the next few months will bring!

Cant wait for a gingerbread build

Indeed, the progress over just a month is very impressive (thanks to all the devs).

I can't wait to get a build which runs off nand and is fully optimized hehe, but I think that may take a few months?

IM running mattc's Froyo-Desire build off a class 2 8 gig sd card, and im getting the "average" 26 mflops.

I wonder how other builds running higher class sd cards are faring?

I'm running Cyanogen off an 8gb class 6 Samsung and I'm getting between 27 and 31 so around 29 on average.

27 on average with 8GB SanDisk C6...

Hmm
Linpack is purely a CPU based performance test. Why would the type of SD card make a difference? Disk access speed is not related

Factors that would impact its performance is the number of background applications. Using SetCPU and a few others.
