Post your Android benchmark scores

Cuchulain · 7 Jun 2010 at 15:40

Download Linpak and Quadrant from the Market, both free, run them both and post your phone model, custom rom (if applicable), overclock (if any) and scores:

HTC Desire, deFrost 0.6 (Froyo), no OC.

Linpack: 39.945 MFlops
Quadrant: 1387

HTC Desire, deFrost 0.6 (Froyo), 1267mhz

Linpack - 43.656 Mflops
Quadrant - 1531

BlackDragon · 7 Jun 2010 at 23:55

Nexus One, Android 2.1 (stock ROM), no OC.

Linpack: 3.236 MFLOPS first run, 6.9MFLOPS subsequent runs.
Quadrant: 522

You can really see the difference between Froyo and Eclair (2.1). Can't wait for Froyo to be released officially

My quadrant score is going to be bad, no 3d acceleration... Running...

Samsung Galaxy Portal GT-I5700(2.1 JE1)
Quadrant: 225
Linpack: 4.812 MFLOPS

Phone is really fast though, only let down by the lack of a dedicated GPU, 3D runs in software. Not a bad thing atm, it's not like there is an abundance of great looking 3D games around.

Also regards to Froyo, the speed increase is by use of JIT iirc, the linpack score for a stock Portal is around 2MFLOPS, with JIT that goes to about 7 or 8, sadly those JIT builds aren't as stable as froyo atm.

What phone are you using?

Sorry, edited the post, I was being slow.

HTC Hero, Villainrom v10 (2.1), no OC

Linpack: 2.503 MFlops
Quadrant: 224

Have just installed this rom today and it's so much faster than 1.5 based roms. Gives the phone a new lease of life. Shame it'll probably not see 2.2+, officially anyway.

HTC Hewo, Modaco 3.1, lightspeed, running at 690mhz

Linpack: 3.064

I think it's important to stress that you are using JIT - which despite having no massive improvement in real world, does massively inflate the linpack result.

Sony Ericsson X10, v1.6, No OC

Linpack: 4.049 MFlops
Quadrant: 437

Standard X10 results!

V4NT0M · 8 Jun 2010 at 12:10

The X10 badly needs 2.1/2.2.

The revised JIT (from my limited experience) improves performance in ALL applications written in Java, and from what I gather aren't all applications for android written in Java? So as for "no massive improvement in real world", how do you justify that?

The linpack score will go up ~300% but you are not going to see that kind of improvement with real apps. The OS is not written in Java and considering linpack is a benchmark of the JVM I'm just saying it's important to note that the JIT is causing the high number - and it's 'unfair' to compare it's results to other devices that are not running JIT.

Sorry but I'm not sure how you can say that you won't see that kind of improvement with "real apps", the platform java is running on is largely irrelevant.

If the JIT increases the performance of the DVM, the DVM is required to interpret the code from all apps at runtime so a faster DVM = a faster app.

GeX · 8 Jun 2010 at 13:28

Fine, JIT helps a lot.

BUT what is the point in this thread? If it's to compare benchmarks between different hardware setups then i stick to my first point - it is worth nothing that JIT is responsible for the high linpack score NOT the hardware.

RSR · 8 Jun 2010 at 13:36

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

Linpack 4.129
Quadrant 448

It's not meant to be a competition, Android covers such a huge hardware/software base it would be foolish but, if someone came on and posted great results from a custom 2.1 rom (for example), other people then have the opportunity to try it for themselves, perhaps people's results are not what they should be and they want to find out why.

It gives people something new to play with.

The benchmarks are pretty meaningless because there is no baseline benchmark for each phone to start off with. You will probably not even manage to reproduce the same benchmark with two identical phones unless you can get them into the same state. So as with all benchmarking of this kind all you are doing is playing a numbers game be it with a computer or a mobile phone.

You can't even reproduce the same benchmark score on subsequent runs

I think you'd need to run linpack a bunch of times and take the average.

Benchmarks are always only a guideline, GeX is right, your benchmark score maybe 5x faster but your phone performance through all applications is not going to increase by that amount, you have to remember that at their heart benchmarks are very simple programs with little real world application.

Can you give me some examples as to how your phone/app performance has improved by 500%? What differences have you noticed? Do your games run 5x faster? Does your app drawer scroll 5x smoother?

Benchmarks are the only way of actually measuring performance, this is why I posted two to run, not just linpack (conveniently missed out by the neighsayers but nevermind).

Take a look at the hacked Froyo rom run of Quadrant compared to a stock Nexus one, it's nearly 3 times faster.
