Disappointing Linpack Scores - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, could someone please explain to me why my Nexus S (2.3.3) is only getting an avg score of 12 mflops while my N1 (2.3.3) is getting an avg score of 37 mflops on the Linpack app?

Because benchmarking does not equal real world performance.
Quillcomm Snapdragon processors have better performance when it comes to this particular test.
Hummingbird will excel in other specific benchmark tests.

Run a test with any 3D game or HD, if it lags, then its the device, if it runs smooth, then is the benchmark app itself that hasn't been updated to read scores due to our ota, I had the same thought and issue with quadrant but then I installed modern combat and pes11(soccer game) and both run smoothly, try smartbench 2010 its free on the market and updated for our phones.

Cool that's good to know. I'll try 3D games and compare. Thanks for the feedback.

linpack is made for the snapdragon processors. my overclocked nexus s gets around 23 on linpack. but, lets see one of those snapdragons do this on quadrant, or get 63 fps on nenamark, or get a 37000+ on an3Dbench...

That's a nice score. Well I just d/l Smartbench 2011. My NS got around 850 while N1 got 970, both are estimates. But I did notice that on the corridor test the NS ran it super quick while N1 was sluggish.

Benchmarks depend on what you do to your phone, from a custom rom to an overclocked kernel and other tweaks, such a lagfix do the trick, it looks awesome to hit those numbers but the device cannot be stable 24/7, not for a daily use.

Quadrant Scores

Hey everybody I'd like to start a thread to show off your T-Bolt Quadrant Scores. I'm using Drod's 1.8 Ghz kernel, and I'm hitting 2500+ consistantly. This phone is wicked fast, and I see it only getting better. So everyone, if you will, follow suit....

That's Quadrant Advanced. Basically same as standard, lil more detail and no adds.

thanks..i wondered why they called it standard...i dont know if its my rom or imoseyon's tweaks, but i dont have ads so i never put that together.

Post Your Highest Quadrant Standard Scores!

My score is 2400.. The only phone ive seen higher is the Atrix 4G..
Let me know your scores on the G2x!!
Highest score I've gotten is 2732, although the highest one i have a screenshot of is 2724. I posted it in the lg g2x benchmark thread a while ago.
EDIT: just ran it on the leaked gingerbread rom and got 2805
I dunno much about benchmarking android devices, I assume it's like running one on a PC where you really want to do it with a clean install and nothing unnecessary running. If that's the case, then my phone ought to be able to do much better than this.

earlier today on my 3rd or 4th run.
The g2x would get a much much better score in quadrant if it didn't score so low in the 2d test. It seems to score the same in the 2d test as most single core devices at around 19fps. If you look at the individual test part scores you can see that the difference in the g2x score and the sgsII score is about the difference in the 2D test score.
I can get over 2800 with EagleBlood 1.03 Gingerbread. I turn on Airplane mode, turn off auto sync, and turn on wi-fi, and get over 2800 easily.
G2x at 1.3 GHz, using quad std you can.t see the tint I/O score compared to my higher scoring NS. Any other quad i will thus post from quad adv.
I/O really kills the avg at ~1400 vs ~4500

that's a nice benchmark too
stock-stock rom....
I am getting anywhere from 2300 to 2500 when I run quadrant on my G2x.
Got a 2921 out of mine. Pretty good!
This is one of the lowest I've experienced, but who counts quadrant scores? How about smartbench 2011 for our type of phones?? Neocore scores too. Power!!
While I was installing all my apps, no less.

EaglesBlood 1.03
EaglesBlood 1.03 with Morfic's kernel. But benchmarks are worthless. That being said I still like high numbers so here it is.
I'm not allowed to post outside links, but my highest is 2573. Liking the numbers coming from the EagleBlood rom though.

Quadrant 2.0

So the new quadrant app is actually somewhat useful. It breaks down the score by category.
Here is what I got the first time I ran it:

This is on eclipse 1.3 with pbj kernel and max frequency at 800mhz and conservative governor.
Obviously i have a low cpu score, but somehow i have a massive lead in i/o over nexus s and gnex but not the tab. Do they still use rfs or something? Also everything has a substantial lead in 2d/3d over the gnex, which is strange considering they all have the same gpu and the gnex is clocked faster.

There must be a glitch, or they are not showing the right scores for the other devices. I got scores in the 2100's, better than the galaxy nexus!

Yeah probably because the test is meant for new phones with 1ghz single core/higher speed dual core processors, not like OG Droid and HTC Hero.

I've always found AnTuTu to be a better benchmark. It didn't suffer the seemingly random variability that Quadrant suffered. I'll have to check out the new version of Quadrant to see how it is.

That was easy. If I'd actually tried, I could have easily broken 2500. That's not a brag...it's more of a commentary on how useless Quadrant is as a performance measure.
Seriously. Quadrant is completely pointless. The number have no bearing on reality. That I/O number in particular is inflated to stupid levels because of the way that Quadrant tests I/O. In Quadrant, the difference between rfs and ext4 is in the hundreds. In the real world, the differences between the two are imperceptible.
Quadrant is the Android equivalent of a penis measuring contest.

I'd argue that too. My original Galaxy Tab running the European GB release scores about 1000 in quadrant. My Charge scores as you saw above. From a user perception, there is virtually no difference between the two. In fact, the Tab edges out the Charge at some things.
I'll say it again. Quadrant is meaningless. Antutu is better. It's still artificial, but the two devices score within 100 of each other on Antutu...that is much more in line with reality.

I agree. It's beyond meaningless. I remember on my Droid2, if I enabled stagefright, I would gain 1200 points on my Quadrant score. It can be faked/cheated too many ways to be useful.

Just to save you from posts about Quadrant scores, I'll say that in general, quadrant scores aren't a solid indicator of phone performance. There are so many factors that can be artificially tweaked that it's not reliable. If you're really interested, there are posts floating around on XDA that go into more detail about this issue.
The biggest factor is how your phone feels to you - if it's snappy and blazing fast in all apps you run, that's infinitely better than a high Quadrant score.
