I was over on the GS2's forum and saw that oc to 1.78ghz they are only getting in the high 6ks to 7500s on antutu benchmark where the G2x is getting between 7500s and 7900s. I am really glad that I didn't make the switch to the GS2. Just thought I would put that out there if anyone was curious and thought about switching.

Nice. I was looking at some scores over on the SGS2 forums and they were showing a lot lower scores. Good to see that the phone is a little better.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I have both of these. SGS2 is definitely more responsive but G2X with Tegra 2 is better at games.
..so because of some scores you saw on a benchmark you think that makes a phone better? In short, NO it does not..not even close. I'll give you a very simple test that will show you plenty, go to http://www.hdtrailerz.com/movie-trailers/men-in-black-3 and play the video on the GS2 and watch how it plays nicely, then play it on the G2X and see the difference.... that's something your benchmarks don't show..real world performance, and THAT'S what really matters, not some meaningless score.

Yes... But only GPU's it'll destroy are probably Qualcomm's S3 processors. It's not even close to being as good as the SGS2's Mali-400 GPU.
But to the OP, benchmarks mean nothing. By no means am I trashing the G2x, I actually quite love the phone. I have CM7 on it with Faux's bangin' kernel, but even with that set up, my gf's stock AT&T SGSII ****s on my phone. Everything about it is faster and better. No lag, handles 1080p videos much better. Browsing is butter smooth and handles flash content 100x better than my G2x. And it takes way better pictures, camera on that thing is a beauty.

Yeah, my wife has the T-Mo version in white w/the Qualcomm proc and it is nowhere close as far as everyday use. Can't even imagine one with the Exynos like the AT&T version.

It also does not have neon AND it has less than half the memory bandwidth of other A9 processors. Like I said, a real world example of it's performance is to play that HD trailer I posted. Even on the TMo version of the GS2 (which doesn't even have the exynos) it plays smoothly, yet the same cannot be said for the G2X. The difference is quite ostensible. I'm sorry, but I don't think we'll be seeing nvidia "destroy" any other processor any time soon. Even their next gen processors, already appear to be following the same pattern of the tegra 2...that is, falling short when compared to the competition. I'm really just not all that impressed with the tegra 2.

It's better because I have a G2x! F+*K ALL The wanna be's
This phone is awesome and does not need to be compared to another. It plays games sgs2 can't period. No benchmark or video can show u that only the apps them self. Have fun sgs2 but u will never be nvidia. This may be the first nvidia type but it evolve to something that we will never expect.

They have already evolved into something...unfortunately what they evolved into is a mid tier processor. The games that you mentioned the gs2 not being able to play would be due to compatibility not due to it being incapable. The movie trailer link I posted, the G2X struggles with it due to incapability not incompatibility. That's a big difference. The tegra 2 is not the worse processor out there, but it definitely isn't one of the best.
Lets put it this way, the GS2 has more GPU power than an Xbox 360. I'm not trashing the G2X, I love my phone. I'm just giving people a scale of things.

I know that scores don't matter. I know that att version is WAY better. I was only saying that the G2x is not as bad of a phone as some people make it out to be. Oh and your HD video you posted played very smoothly on my G2x. So if my OP got some people mad, then I am sorry because it was not meant for that.

There's serious lag on my G2X. In Angry Birds, sometimes, when a bird has been "launched", it progresses in starts and pauses until it hits. Also, there's lag with button response, screen touch response, and browser use. Android's inherent weakness is screen drawing which doesn't get priority over everything else as it does in Apple's iOS. That's a known Android flaw which Android application developers criticize continuously.
Definitely comes down to a matter of personal preference. I LOVE gaming on my phone, and my g2x has PWNED every game I presented to it without any lags. Not to mention how well it handles when I feel like overclocking. I put it up to 1.4 today just for ****s and played Modern Combat 3 (which is only .99 cents for a limited time) and it killed! My only qualm is the battery life. 1500mAh just isn't enough for any dual core phone.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction HD is out for Android.
It needs more than 500MB and runs really good on Desire:
looks hella crazy!! should run fine on my Galaxy S Vibrant....
WHOA, looks amazing! Finally, the first proper big game for Android! Should work fine for my Galaxy S as stated above.
It's been removed from the market already
Anyone know why?
Edit: I'm stupid. Sucks that you can only get it from Gameloft though
Looks awesome. Any more details on this? Developer, etc?
Edit: Nevermind. http://www.gameloft.com/android-games/splinter-cell-conviction/
This is why I must convince my dad to get me a new phone and a bigger sdcard
or a new ipod my 2g sucks curse you apple
While the game runs great the controls need work as it's insanely hard to navigate and shoot.
It's better or worse than the iphone's version.
Unfortunately the Android phone market is flooded with devices with subpar hardware. In fact apart from Galaxy S class phones everything else sucks compared to iphone (as far as GFX HW goes).
So I'm inquiring whether it was built with Galaxy/Nexus S in mind or plain Qualcomm devices. If it looks/runs significantly worse than the iphone version I already have my answer.
^BS its the exact same game. On all platforms, its the exact same game. The gaming controls suck though. Try out DD:FW
Heh, good news I guess...
We sorely need games of the Splinter Cell calliber on the Android Market, it's pretty much the last castle that Apple still holds...
BTW does DD:FW on the Android performs equally well as that of the iPhone?
Is anyone else not a fan of on screen controls? Or is it just me?

Heh I love em! Especially on FPS to be honest.
Running great on my Vibrant. I have wondered why it's taking this long to get decent games on Android. I know the iPhone has had better hardware than android phones, but earlier this year, most android phones had similar cpu/gpu specs. I'm guessing the software/OS in apple mobile products is just THAT much better. I know the Vibrant hardware blows away iPhones, but games/apps seem to run, at best, just as good.
Either way, I'm glad to see games this good start rolling out. The aiming isn't super precise(not horrible though, by any means), but the game overall has been great.
Fantastic !
People gameloft look like they starting to love us android users.
Bro the iphone doesnt have better hardware then android the only thing that better then us is their High Res screen that all...
They dont have better Os, they just have more money then google and promote heavily on their products that all.

So why is it dungeon defenders(and most other games) run smoother with lesser hardware? All decent games starting to roll out are being built for the tegra dual core phones. The iphone didn't need crazy specs to run what android phones are just now getting into. Unless you have another answer besides "money", I'm still convinced it's the os.

I can say it mostly because of Samsung Galaxy phones and Droid's line phone that have Power VR SGX530 & 540 chip that allow us to play this game fluently.
That what the iphone 3g & 3GS had over us up until last year with Original droid 1.
This year with galaxy phones and droid 1,droid 2 and X.
Other android device doesnt have them they have adreno 195 to 205 which is mostly htc devices has a bad graphic chip, doesn't allow the game to play steadly .
This is why Samsung was choice to be manufacture to make Nexus S and not htc.
Specs on Iphone graphic Gpu:
Iphone3g wiki info on specs . Graphics PowerVR MBX Lite 3D GPU
Iphone3gs wiki info on specs. Graphics PowerVR SGX535 GPU
Iphone 4 GPU Apple A4 (PowerVR SGX 535)
If you see a trend here developer like this chip to be on phone to enhance the graphic on the device.

i wouldn't say they mean NOTHING. I mean, i'm getting higher scores on this device and i CAN feel the difference in its performance compared to others that score under 2000. They may not be accurate representations, especially if a file was manipulated to show a faux score, but if you know it hasn't been manipulated you can judge your score appropriately.

So let's get a phone by Motorola featuring Motoblur such as the Atrix 4G and run Quadrant on that. Quadrant means absolutely nothing, many developers have degraded the importance of these benchmark tests.

Lol yeah. Other benchmark apps are:
SmartBench 2010, SmartBench 2011 (2010 is more featured towards Single Core CPUs and 2011 towards Dual Core) and Linpack.
The reason why I hate Benchmarks so much is because Samsung-based phones tend to have lower linpacks whereas other manufacturers have 40+ linpack and Samsung phones have <30.
Hell, Quadrant Standard hasn't even updated their list anymore. It's the same thing everytime. HTC Magic is still listed there.
Lol my girlfriend LOVED the white magic. We r finally getting big boys toys
you're right, qualcomms chips are snappier. I like graphics to make a UI more pleasing so I enjoy Samsung and the obundance of phones they've been releasing. I'm glad HTC is starting to implement the Adreno GPU tho. I've been excited for NVIDIA since back when it was the Tegra 650 prototype, and now they are really stepping up the competition. Quadrant Standard doesn't play nice with the tegra 2 and seriously needs to be updated, I agree

Yeah I think its just a matter of fact that in the old days, the only CPU choice was Qualcomm CPUs. Now theres all types of CPus, NVIDIA Tegra, Qualcomm, Samsung's Hummingbirds and now Intel & AMD are joining in.
With all these CPUs, the benchmarks are only weighing on certain CPUs and optimizations. So some CPUs will get the benefit. I have a TF101 tablet and it scores lower than my Nexus S but the TF101 is running SMOOTH and snappy. It's purely on stock right now, just playing around with Honeycomb but I don't know if I want to root it just yet. Root on 3.X doesn't seem to offer me much but it'd be nice to get my game saves from Angry Birds translated over.
Edit: Just did a benchmark on Quadrant
NS: 2067 (1.0 GHz Single Core - ROM/kernel below)
TF101: 1492 (1.0 GHz Tegra 2- 100% stock)
doesn't prove much though. both devices are VERY snappy and responsive. Now if I try Linpack, it'll tell another side of the story.
NS MFLOPS: 10.963
TF101 MFLOPS: not even gonna try.

I had the viewsonic GTablet (underrated for its price for sure) and like you said, it would run buttery smooth but scored poorly. Graphics were almost 70fps with neocore tho, that was exciting
i haven't messed with linpack since getting a samsung device 6 months ago, mainly because i know the scores are junk compared to my old Evo and would be pointless to compare.
But for some reason Linpack is not showing up in the market for me now. odd

no its not its cheating
some of you guys a are ridicules when its comes to this stupid benchmark
not to mention he give no indication on his CPU speed.....his score is all green we cant see **** per hardware score
The I/O "optimization" is like cache...same with a hard drive running on a dedication high end controller card with cache memory on the controller. If you enable cache in the controllers bios it will give out inaccurate scores when benchmarking the hard-drive read/write speeds it will double even tripple score.
Its the same **** with what you guys are doing with I/O optimization.
Someone please chime in if you know what im talking about ...another PC hardware guru benchmarking enthusiast.
Benchmarking.... you want to compare your HARDWARE with others you're suppose to run software standards with absolutely no software tweaks only hardware tweaks when benchmarking

Yeah certain apps don't appear on the market when using a tablet.
@demo: I never said its cheating. There's a cheating script added in some kernels, but the ext4 optimization found by supercurio implemented by many devs is INDEED legit. Since everybody uses Quadrant Standard, you cant tell if its cheating or not because the Quadrant Advanced goes more in depth listing it by each factor. But even then, the quadrant benchmark is still useless for the reasons I listed.
And I honestly don't know the purpose of you're post if you're trying to attempt to contradict my post or not. My saying is that I find benchmarks to be pointless and everybody makes it seem like it's a bigger deal than what it really is.

Ahhh.. yeah, well I think it was Cyanogen that started it making his over 3000 to degrade the importance of benchmarks.
people want true hardware scores you're not suppose to optimize anything in software its not fair and just makes everything confusing...having one standard and sticking to it will yield better results for comparing with other devices.
unfortunately this isn't the case..devs are implementing ext4 tweaks with kernels
we need a true benchmarking program that only test hardware

I have owned the G2X & Sensation also Atrix My sensation is by far the best looking device ever now before the Sensation got S-off I would find myself saying boy you just wait until we get roms this thing will fly like my g2x its funny boy was I wrong. I'm on the Senseless v1.2 Custom kernel and the Sensation is very fast now but still not on my g2x speed so I think its safe to say the Tegra2 is pretty much a better faster CPU period now I'm hoping and praying the upcoming roms and kernels prove me and US all wrong but as of now custom roms and s-off had done nothing to bring out this beast my Ayrix is now hitting 3700 quadrants. Time well let us know
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
If you're using quadrant as evidence to prove that Tegra 2 is actually faster, you're standing on thin ice. Quadrant can easily be skewed with a few modifications.
I'm using the stick ROM with ADW EX and my Sensations UI is as fast as my G2X. I can also say that my Sensation has always been faster at opening and interacting with apps such as Google Maps which loads a lot faster on my Sensation. When it cones to the web browser there both eveb in terms of loading pages but my Sensation scrolls smoother. I actually like the looks of the G2X better but I mainly use the Sensation due to it loading and interacting with apps faster.
Just for information, my G2X is bug free.
Another piece of information. I have seen a difference with speed in the 4 Sensations I've used. I really don't know what it is but the second one I had was slow as hell. You must have a bad one because the Sensation should load stuff faster than the G2X.

Why are there dozens of posts like this everyday?
Does it matter? Does seeing another phone with more powerful SoC immediately kill the battery of yours? Does having a faster SoC get you laid? Why does Quadrant matter? Does your phone require you to finish a Quadrant run before you can answer your phone everytime it rings? Because Quadrant is hardly a benchmark. Does your phone run slower than the G1? Does the Atrix run so much faster than the Sensation that makes it feels like a Razor? If yes, why bother, just dump the Sensation and use the Atrix. If no, why bother, since both phones are fast enough for everything a normal human would do on a phone for now.
Back to your question. No. First of all, Tegra 2 is not a CPU. It's a system on a chip (SoC). The processor cores in Tegra 2 are Cortex A9, and yes, they are more advance than the Scorpion cores in the Snapdragon, which falls roughly between Cortex A8 and A9. So CPU raw power alone, the Tegra 2 should be faster except in a few situations, because Scorpion's strength is floating point calculation and the Cortex A9 in Tegra 2 (but not necessarily other Cortex A9 SoC) lacks the NEON instruction sets.
I'd also like to add that you are comparing our performance to devices that have had more time for development and improvements. Give it time. The sensation devs will do their thing and although they might not be able to close the gap completely, I have faith that they will get us close.

well the g2x is stockish android gingerbread which is fast.
The sensation has a ton of bloat with sense 3.0
When CM7 is optimized, the sensation will edge out the g2x.
Compare apples to apples br0.
Wait for cm7, sense is still on all roms.

No it won't. The a9 is just a better architecture. More cache, shorter pipeline, more efficient memory usage etc. If you overclock the scorpion 25% or so vs a9 it might be able to catch up. Amd and Intel had done research and they found that it doesn't make sense to use asynchronous cores as in most real world cases it didn't yield better battery life. They found it was better to use power gating to save power. Unfortunately qualcomm is company that makes majority of its net income from 20 year old patents so it is no surprise they made questionable decisions. They sunk all this money into the scorpion architecture and they have to use it as long as they did due to sunk costs. However Nvidia screwed up to not having 1080hp decoder or neon. At least I thought the adreno 220 would be a beast, but It doesn't seem to be much better than the 2 year old overclocked sgx540 on omap4430.
However I didn't buy the sensation just because of its SOC, but it is just a solid phone in terms on construction and you know xda will support it, and it isn't slow either. I wish HTC would switch to a better soc, but they are tied with qualcomm at the hip.
First off I own both phones... My wife's G2x is faster, but it's running stock android. Every phone I've ever owned running Sense is slower than stock Android...
It's not really comparable until we have a stock build of android running on the Sensation. Then compare.

The next generation of Qualcomm CPUs are coming soon and those will move from Scorpion to Krait. The Krait is based off of the A15 architecture from what I've read.
Heh, my Samsung Galaxy S II is better than your Sensation, G2x, or Atrix. Got Quadrant scores of 4k. Run Quadrant 3 times to see accurate score. Oh yeah I underclocked it too to 1GHZ. You won't find another fine device like this phone. Running on Revolution rom with bloatware removed.

Epic troll?
Firstly, OP's English is terrible. No offence, but I had to put into notepad and punctuate it, just to understand what you were saying.
Secondly: the Sensation is on Sense, which definitely slows this phone done. I'd go as far as saying CM7 will be anything up to 2x as fast as Sense is.

More likely looking for an ego boost because his phone gets better results on a benchmarking tool that's severely outdated.
Dude, here is a sensible test.
1:- install a vanilla ROM on all phones
2:- get all devices to use the same resolution
3:- get a sensible graphics test app like nenamark 2
4:- test the devices and check the score.
This is the only way u will have to test.which phone is better or which processor is better
Cheers

LOL I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm on a VW forum (hence the avatar), and we had this SRT-4 owner try to troll us. We were all like "you can keep your 400 whp champ, we like our interiors lol". As to this thread, I don't think it's fair to say that either "owns" the other. They are pretty darn even.

Hey folks.
I've seen several comparison threads on the Infuse around here. Although it's nice to compare the Infuse with other (newer) devices out there, a thread can derail very quickly or become a flame-fest.
That's why I thought of starting this comparison thread, which can be stickied and will be the ONLY comparison thread in General. Others will be closed.
Every pro and cons may be discussed, as long as we watch our language and play nice.
Discussion may start....
Now.
I'll start, cons:
NEED MOAR CORES!!!
...and more RAM... and a better GPS.
Pros:
Everything else!
Who agrees?
i completely disagree, batterylife is so-so as it is with the stock firmware, what would it be with another core to support? ram is not an issue if it is managed correctly, more ram just gives app developers an excuse to get lazy. try the 99tweaks mod in dev section and ignore the reported free ram, it is insignificant information.
gps, well we know samsung sux at that :/ it is wonky and has worse reception than my captivate (not to say it works worse, that would be a lie but my captivate can loc in places that my infuse can't it just takes longer and tracks like **** if agps is enabled)
needs 1080p recording, i think the gpu is marginal for that ability but i think if they had real talent in their software department it could be "possible" though i know it will never happen.
You also have to consider majority over minority. A large amount of people that pick up these phones don't know what "rooting" or flashing firmwares and all that can do. The average Joe will just minimize the app and keep going. They want to have a phone that works out the box without a need to jump through hoops.
Adding more to something already good is never a bad thing. Basically it would be a SGSII with a bigger screen, and last I checked it's probably one of the most popular phones on the market to this date.
Yall thinks it worth giving up the Infuse for the Nexus Prime when it hits the market in a few months??
im thinking of getting it, and giving the infuse to my mom - she needs the big screen..lol

all up to you buddy. i think there is too much emphasis on hardware, yeah hardware is cool and benchmarks are cool but the infuse has raw capabilities that some tegra powered phones dont have in video playback.. like i said earlier there isnt much the phone can't do. but obviously the infuse is near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to 2011 phones as far as hardware goes. i would say pick up the next nexus and see if it tickles you a certain way, you will be assured that it will have the best firmware at any givven time. if the nexus doesnt do it for you then return it.

Hm...I disagree. My phone has been able to manage everything well with a single core, and RAM has never been an issue. (Maybe on stock, but then again, I flashed a ROM as soon as I got it so yeah)
And I don't get what the problem with GPS is. Maybe I live in a place where Sammy is er...I have no idea what to say but yeah. I live in New Jersey and I haven't had a GPS issue so far...

yea, wont really know till i pick it up. Thats True.
It's crazy. I like some things about my infuse, I like some things about my thrill
I keep swapping back and forth between the two.
I no longer have any interest in the SGS2....but I do look forward to seeing what ATT does with LTE around Christmas
I have a HTC Sensation and an Infuse 4g and believe me battery consumption on Dual Core Sensation is annoying and i throw it away. Infuse has good battery life and does everything with a single core. My next phone will probably be a Galaxy Note depending on battery.
here is Infuse with 4.5 and galaxy S2 with 4.27" (<--look like 4 inches!").
phone size is only a little bigger, but your eyes will notice the HUGE screen different! if it' not 4.5, i dont want it!
update: try to look at each screen for 5 seconds, then you will see the HUGE screen different!

Wait, you have both? Does the dual core and the extra 512megs of RAM make a difference?

i only noticed the galaxy S2 (dual core) boots up and loads webpages with flashes faster. other than that, i dont noticed that much different since i overclocked my infuse to 1.6Gzh with bedwa kernel.
Now when it comes to battery life on the GSII based on your normal use, would you say it was worse or same/similar?
Reason I'm asking is because I never really messed with a dual core android unit... yet, but was curious what real improvements they bring other than benchmarks.
I liked running my Infuse at 1.6Ghz, but could never find the right voltage to keep it going while maintaining a great battery life.
Btw, thanks for the input, kinda changed my perspective on DC phones a little.

battery life is about the same on both phones, after 8 hours at work,
I have about 20% battery left. I mostly surf the web while on break and lunchtime.
Now I underclocked the Infuse to 800mzh during work hours, after 8 hours I have about 40% left.
The Infuse is the first smartphone I've owned, I can only compare to other phones I've played with for a short time. I run the Infused 2.1.0 with 1.6 Infusion 1.1 kernel, and my Infuse is faster than many others. The battery life is great, I'm on my phone for about 4-5 hours talk time, and heavily use web, music and the occasional game. I can get a day and a half worth out of the battery before charging. If I dont use those, sometimes I can go 3 days. I dont see much difference with dual cores. If the phone was ran stock, yes, you can tell noticeable difference. I do wish it could record in 1080, but thats not that big of a deal. Never had a problem with GPS, or anything else I can think of.
Infused 2.1.0
Infusion GB Kernel 1.1
Is that an Infuse in my pocket
or am I just happy to see you?
Does anyone know of any place where you can actually use NFC?
Infuse
I have to say after being on my first Android Phone making the jump from WinMo to my Cappy and learning about Roms, tweaking and modding I was excited to make the next jump to the next Android phone. I had 30 days after purchase that I was going to use the Infuse and then make the transition to the SGSII for the bump in power and performance but sacrificing the minor screen downsizing. But after experiencing and reading many users inputs and advice I decided to hang on to the Infuse. I am finding the power is perfect for what I want and need (Mostly email, Text and web) I hardly use the GPS or maps (Currently Frozen in TIBU at the moment) and battery life is average or comparable to all others I have read about. I found that most user that get extraordinary long battery life is due to no SIM and WiFi only use, as I have done and got two days out of my battery before at the sacrifice of connectivity availability. But overall I think the infuse is comparable if not better phone than most and I would like to see more development and activity for this device even though its not the "Most Popular" phone on the block at the moment.
I just saw the sgs2 att comercial and gotta say it looks quite sexy. but ill wait and see things like Rom compatibility with the international version and final hardware specs. there were rumors that Samsung would use tegra2 chips in some markets. not really sure about that but hope that we get the Orion chip.
it may be better to wait for the galaxy s 3 or whatever comes next but the att gs2 does look good.

So, LG offers us a 2 yrs warranty, even if we root our amazing smartphone.
Samsung does not.
Everyone knows Optimus 3d has got better processor, but it still lags with every rom you actually put on it.
Also SGS2 has got very good hardware, but it's supported moooooore than our LG smartphone.
Why this?
What's wrong on our O3D??
It's just been released in USA as the Thrill.
Sent from my LG-P920 using Tapatalk
What are you talking about? LG O3D has been relased in the same SGS2 countries
the gs2 had from the start on a very huge dev community because of the sg1 and the other galaxy smartphones...
i think it only takes some time to get great devs for this phone
i currently have a galaxy 3 but i ordered the o3d and i can't wait to hold it in my hands!!
Because sgs2 is more popular than o3d
Sent from my LG-P920 using Tapatalk
@deox91: I had a sgs2 before having the o3d... I'd come back without any doubt
@dexxxterek: sure, it's popular, but how's it possible there isn't any unofficial (downloadable) gingerbread-based cooked rom (like happened with optimus 2x)? there isn't a decent kernel which fixes lags, there are no decent roms... nothing of nothing!
Gingerbread o3d update should be released in october, yes, but Ice Cream Sandwich is coming soon....

Actually, it does.
In terms of performance, OMAP4 is better.
On the S2, Exynos was just overclocked, but when both are at 1ghz, OMAP4 is better.
I've underclocked my SGS2 to 1 Ghz to test benchmarks and it still does better than OMAP4. And for real world performance, I underclock my SGS2 to 800mhz (to save battery) and notice no difference between it and 1.2Ghz.
Maybe you don't know, but Cyanogen is working for Samsung, and he's help is invaluabe ;]

I believe reason for that is the 2.2 vs 2.3 argument.
One has better dual core support and one... =/ well everyone knows the answer to that one. So just trying to tell you that underclocking one to 1ghz while its on 2.3 and the other is running 2.2 still doesn't say which is the better processor.
Also, benchmark results are very subjective to many things. I highly doubt you would have the exact same things running on both devices when you ran the tests. Even if the apps are the same, the stock apps that comes with the devices and other factors also affect the results. For example, I'm on stock rom and a very heavy user. Quadrant gives me a score of 2138. Yet, real performance is still much better than you would expect.

I really doubt that GB will bring significantly better performance. Its all about optimizing the drivers to which Samsung did VERY well (compare Debut GS2 to a Released GS2). OMAP4 has a lot of potential imo, but I'll guess we'll see in the future with updates or the Nexus Prime.

What performance boost does GB have? I remember Froyo had JIT but I don't recall anything like that being in GB.
Yes, but my aim wasn't to start a discussion about which processor is the best...
My aim was to let people able to do this, think about developing more on our amazing device.. :\
Gingerbread is faster... I have an SE X10-
From using highly customized froyo Roms to the bloated, stock gingerbread was a massive speed shift, and then once the custom Roms came out it was like having a whole new phone.
I'm here because my contract is up in a few months and I'm considering getting this phone, actually it's a toss-up between this and the SGS2.

Not true at all.
I have an SE X10 as well for a year and half now. The stock 2.3 ROM is A LOT slower than any custom 2.2 ROMs.
Only massively tweaked 2.3 ROMs like Wolfbreak or Trip's MIUI ROMs are fast. The stock 2.3 ROM is so slow and laggy.
I found it faster than scramble...

I was correcting the statement you made in the OP with the intent to answer the question you asked in the Title.
I also want more devs to develop for the O3D and a LOT less devs to develop for the SGS2 (there are 2 freaking sections for development).
