Benchmark shock

[rafiqc]

Hi all

My wife (iPhone 4 user ) mailed me this link today and I must say I'm shocked ... it seems, in some respects, even the iPhone 3GS walks all over the Sensation ... how is this possible?

gpu in snapdragon soc's will never be as good as the SGX gpu in Apple phones.
even the Samsung Mali GPU is faster then Adreno 250.

Sadly HTC is Snapdragon only so unless Qualcomm improve it a lot HTC phones will always lag behind in benchmarks but benchmarks are not everything.

One more thing that should be taken in consideration is that Apple designs their hardware and software which means it is optimized for dual-cores.

When we get Ice Cream Sandwich is when we will get real dual-core support and be able to use the full power of our phones.

Just ran these benchmarks myself and it looks a lot better than they make it seem, sure I'm an update up from their benchmark Sensation, but technically iOS 5 is newer than Android 2.3 anywayso it's negligible.I would like to see how Ice Cream Sandwich will compare to the 4GS (iOS 5).


Sunspider - 3532
Browsermark - 56065

In iPhone it is used in games only but generaly the IOS is very boaring, Android is much better.

the nexus one is faster than the sensation

Personally, I don't think its that the GPU is bad, it should be better than the mali400 by quite a bit in theory ( look at the Qualocomm reference board @1.5GHz, beats everything by a nice margin ) It's just that the kernel and driver software is ****.

My scores are:
SunSpider - 2444 ms
Browsermark - 7900

Don't believe this stock using benchmark. I'm sure that SGS2 can do better as well.

Just ran the tests and got

Sunspider 1844 opera
Browsermark 43865 opera, and using the standered browser 71114

Not really a good test as its browser inflorescenced.

Come on guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know Apple is best at MARKETING!!!!!

1) APPLE IPHONE 4S PROPAGANDA, that can be seen on many website for a few days



2) THE REALITY, my HTC Sensation running ARHD 3.6.2 with bricked kernel , at 1.72 ghz (my max is 1.78)
with CPU1 forced online, I hit about 60000 at stock 1.2ghz CPU speed


Some will say i've always hated Apple's marketing, already fighting Apple fanboys in early 2009 with my Samsung Omnia i900 and FpseCE...
....well...that's true


EDIT: same config, I do 2664 at Sunspider, so just behind the iphone 4S, and GLbenchmark refuses to compute my score, saying my GL drivers are modified!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Preventing people who use custom ROMS, kernels or drivers is an easy way to win! (I mean, I was not cheating using Chainfire3D drivers to reduce textures or anything!)
Apple sucks!

thats the problem, all these benchmarks doesn't support what our devices (beast) has. so, it always end up like that. but, mind you. on sensation, it has the 2.3.3 version and with that and all the crap on stock, its really gonna be slow

 

[Ndokami]

Here what I got on my stock sensation these results are definately bias for the iPhone release =\ I mean I'm sure its a impressive piece of hardware but I doubt its that much better than other phones out on the market now

Lol, there's no way the PowerVR SGX535 is faster than the Adreno 220. It's just iOS is way more optimized than Gingerbread + Sense 3.0 ...

The Snapdragon S4 SoCs should blow everything away when they come out, though.

You can't compare an overclocked phone running god knows which kernel (It's easy to cheat by optimizing the kernel for specific benchmarks) with a stock phone running at stock speeds. That doesn't make any sense.
It's like trying to prove that Toyota is faster than a Lexus by strapping a jet engine on to the Toyota: Unfair, irrelevant and proves nothing: Except that a Toyota with a jetengine strapped on to it iis faster than a Lexus...

So yeah, the iPhone 4S does beat whatever HTC has out by a significant margin even. I have an Evo3D and a SGSII and it is pretty annoying that the HTC is so poorly optimized. Time for HTC to lock some engineers in a basement, and not let them out until they modified Sense to be as fast as iOS...

Of course we can! That's why we have an Android and not an iphone: we can customize and improve it as far as we can, that's the point here.

But even with a stock ROM, bloatwares removed, at 1.2ghz, we reach 60000 at browsermark, so Apple is clearly posting fake figures here.

Don't wait for HTC to solve your problems man, go for a custom ROM and a custom kernel, the Sensation has good hardware inside, you should try using it decently.

PS: my kernel is Bricked kernel from Show-p, you can't say it's "god knows which kernel"

Wouldnt screen size make a difference as well?

I've read an article about s2 and 4s benches. Basically, sw runs differently, Android does something vertically as well, when iphone doesn't, so you could double Android point to actually show the true value. I'll try to dig that article.

I agree with this. That's why I did my test completely stock. And didn't remove bloatwear or anything and still got significantly better scores than what they posted.
