Async Cores and Benchmarks

[Killbynature]

Ok, initial reports were that because the dual cores are so ne that the quadrant trackers could not "properly" measure. HOWEVER, no mater what review I have seen so far comparing the Galaxy and the Sensation, the Sensation ALWAYS looses. If a top of the line sports car cna go from 0-60 at .X seconds faster than the other it is something that is going to be touted and used as a benchmark. Therefore, i don't buy that the quadrant scored don't really matter all the time.

Now, more to your point about Samsungs speed. It seems like HTC, by the way they allocated memory, may have done the phone a speed disservice.


"The HTC Sensation measures in at 4.96 x 2.57 x 0.44 inches and 5.22oz is what it weighs. You’ll find that the unibody metal chassis combined with the soft-touch plastic inserts make for a rather comfortable phone to hold, and nice to rub up against your beard if you’ve got one. So smooth! The back is creak-free, the entirety of the battery cover coming off at once, the battery, SIM card, and microSD card popping in and out without an issue like they truly should.

Flaws in this whole situation include the fact that while the Galaxy S II pairs its 1.2GHz dual-core with 1GB of RAM, the HTC Sensation uses just 768MB. Samsung’s device has 16GB of memory packed in, while HTC makes due with just 1GB. There’s an 8GB microSD card in there, but you can add a bunch more memory to the GSII the same way if you want. Davies notes the truth: “here’s just no way that even a fast microSDHC card can be as quick as NANDFlash connected directly to the logic board, and that leaves the Sensation at a speed disadvantage.”

We are looking at two phones with dual core processors that work differently and two oses technically. Even though they are both running android sense is programmed diffrently to work with the os than touchwiz on top we see interfaces but below I believe there are much more diffrently in the way they work. I say the scores are weaker but I believe the processors are much on par with each other.

It's pretty much accepted when it comes to raw processing power that isn't the case but I can understand why some people would want it to be.

Thanks for this. What I see in this is that the Sensation is simply not as powerful as the Galaxy S II.

BTW Sensation is a released device in Europe and the later batch of scores you are seeing are from the final released device. I believe that the UK got it on Thursday the 19th of May but I it is in several countries now.

I also noticed that you posted this score: "Samsung Galaxy S2 at 1GHz: 3229", do you have figures for it at 1.2GHz?

The links you posted both go to the Productivity Index, do you have the link for the Games Index?

Thanks again.

Doh, I must have not copied the right link. I went back and fixed the original post. Thanks!

Eek, you just found a bug in Smartbench DB.

The stock clock speed for the Galaxy S2 must be currently set up 1GHz since I took that number from the "stock clock speed list" which is accessible through Smartbench 2011 app itself.

I'll fix it shortly. Thanks for pointing it out.

EDIT: I've updated the article, which now includes results for 1.2GHz as well.
