Benchmarking favour anyone?

So guys,I might have a chance to exchange my Desire HD for a Sensation(Plus some money of course),but I want to be sure before I set my eyes on the Sensation only.
To help me choose,could someone do some benchmarks for me?By benchmarks,I don't want stuff with stock rom or stock CPU speeds,but I mean some heavy benchmarking with full dual-core support(Mike's way or anyone else's),full CPU overclock(nothing less than 1.7GHz-Not even 2GHz would damage anyone's phone during ONE benchmark),GPU overclock(I read it's been done in some kernels-Wasn't possible on older Snapdragons) and generally everything that boosts performance.That would be my daily setup(Yes,I'm that mad ) and,also owning a Galaxy S 2,I won't be easily surprised.
So,the benchmarks I'd like to see are:
-Linpack's multi-thread test
-Nenamark 1 }I'd prefer Nenamark 2 but anyway.
-Nenamark 2 }
-CFBench
-Smartbench 2011
-Antutu benchmark
-Quadrant benchmark
If you could post your setup(Rom,CPU speed,GPU speed etc),I'd be deeply grateful too.
Many thanks in advance,I hope I'll be joining you soon.

Well I get 2500 normally on default CPU and GPU on android revolution hd .

Just one thing: current overclock only works for one core. So what you'll see won't be the actual performance

Yes,I read about that,but I care more about graphics this time,as that was what disappointed me with my past HTC devices and made me switch to Samsung.Qualcomm's CPUs were always really good,no doubt about that so I don't exactly care about that.Synthetic benchmarks also don't mean ****,that's why specific benchmarks like Nenamark for GPU and Linpack for CPU are higher in my priority list.Also,in Smartbench,I care more about the gaming index score.
Thanks for pointing it out anyway.

Here are some benchmarks using Faux's 0.1.0 kernel at 1.7 min/Max and melvins beast rom.

Yes my friend,you do.These phones(Sensation,Galaxy S 2) are very far from their true potential at stock.You should see my Galaxy S 2 stock vs my Galaxy S 2 running VillainRom and Ninphetamine kernel @1.6GHz.Night and day.And,unlike HTC,Samsung does a good job at not crippling their phones too much.

differences between HTC SENSATION & HTC SENSATION XE

Hi all. I just want to know are there any hardware differences between htc sensation and sensation XE. Is the same CPU? What about the speaker?

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3875&idPhone2=4164

Better processor better sound...that is all.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA Premium App

More ROM, bigger battery and the processor is running at 1.5GHz (not underclocked at 1.2GHz like the normal Sensation)...

From what I have read, its the same phone except they didnt underclock it. Exact same processor running at its normal speed. This can be done by rooting...
I say buy the regular sensation (unless the XE release is free from the dust problem) and then root the phone.

No. The xe has a new sound enhancement through software. But root users are already taking advantage of this.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk

It's basically the same phone with red details on the case, and not downclocked to 1.2Ghz, with a higher capacity battery to compensate the higher speed on cpu.
If you must buy the phone take the XE, if you have already a sensation, a custom rom will do the work, an upgrade will not give benefits over a rom and is a waste of money (IMHO)

It's not a best processor, both the XE and the normal version have an Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260. And would be nice to say "better equalization" instead of "better sound", and it's achievable from the normal ones just installing the apposite mod.
The real improvements are a more powerful battery and the better headphones. Neither more, nor less.

Aside from the bigger battery the XE ain't got new hardware.

Would anyone know if the XE will come with the same dust problems or if modifications to glue or screen will have been made...?

The new sensations being shipped us supposed to have the bigger battery and the 1.5 overclock.

Yeah they just over clocked this like me. So I got an XE. ;-)

I personally don't like the red details on the new case, so i'm happy with my normal Sensation and a custom ROM that gives nearly all the same additions.

The sound is not better, its just a retarded gimmick eq. Trust me.

Same device compare here, XE has Oced CPU, larger ROM and battery, however, stated specs of XE accessible ROM state 1000mib and standard Sensation 550mib. Dont know about the rest of you but I have at least 1000mib accessible ROM in Sensation.

Somebody know how much the XE headphone cost separately?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

The headphones are the equivelent of Monster iBeats, which I believe retail at £79.99 in most stores. Might get them cheaper online though.

[Q] New desire s (memory app)

Hello! i am thinking to change my htc legend by a desire s, due the screen resolution and the memory dedicated to applications... my question is if a any user had problems to have few memory for applications, or if the space is enough to get all the applications you want without worrying about memory

Definitely, 1.1GB is plenty. Also the speed on the Desire S is much faster too
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Get a One V man, you will feel more at home
Better screen than Desire S, better camera, ICS out of the box and bound to get more updates

For myself i would look out for a newer device, which may gets further updates!
I love my DesireS! And i will stay on it for a longer time (hopefully it will not get broken) The performance is great, there will be an update to ICS!
But that it will be. It won't even get newest Sense!

True, by the Desire S is cheaper than the One V, so it seems more logical
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

have also thought about the htc one v, because is the direct successor of the legend, however I choose the desire because front camera and its cheaper ... I do not want a large mobile phone, 3.7 is ideal, as the desire s, and I doubt very much that one htc v will receive many updates, due to weak hardware

1g ram & 1.5GHz DuelCore.why not is a favourate combination.

Htc desire s
More ram(768),one v has 512
They have the same cpu and they both are single core phones
768 mb of are useful,so i think you can buy a desire s and wait for a kernel 3.0
Our sense 4 roms are better
This phone already has s-off and a lot of custom roms
A good recovery and you can overclock the phone if you want the same clock of the one v

T-Mobile custom 1200 MHz kernel

Thanks, but this I know. I want to know if there are any around without having to use third party apps to clock it. You guys mean to tell me there is no T-Mobile dev kernels that's clocked to 1200 MHz???
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium

FWIW the manufacturer actually rates the Qualcomm 8260 as a 1.5 GHz processor..so technically HTC just underclocks it. 1.5 is perfectly normal, although I am a little concerned as well because I noticed my finger felt on fire the screen was so hot earlier today. Your best bet at this point might be stock, OC/UV, or bust sadly

Well if you really don't want third party apps then just install kernel via aroma installer and select something around 1200MHz I know you can at least do that with bricked kernel
Sent from my sensational sensation 4g

not really the answer you are looking for, but I just want to tell you that it makes no difference whether you underclock it to 1ghz yourself or if the original kernel is set at 1ghz. They will both consume the same amount of power. I think the best way to approach this is to underclock it yourself to 1ghz and UNDERVOLT with system tuner. my sensation is stable at 1.02ghz @ 937.50mV

Thanks guys for all of your help. I just went back to Gingerbread and I guess i'll just have to wait until official ICS...again, thanks.

Sorry for a late reply, but ARHD6.6.3 has an option to run the stock (1.2ghz) kernel!!

What do you think about the sensation?

Hi all, I think the htc sensation have much time to be at the top or at least in the top half of Android devices. Having a good dual core processor at 1.2 gigahertz with a good GPU Adreno 220 make it one of the best middle-fa terminals. Even if we look we can see how ferrules brand like Sony xperia s use the same GPU and even the htc One s3 s has its version with the same processor. I think the sensation is at the height of xperia S, htc one s, galaxy s2, galaxy foolish, Optimus 3D ... etc. what do you think? a hug

In terms of power lg's optimus 3d destroys our sensation. I'd say we have the best unofficial support though the s2 is probably more popular, followed by the xperia s. HTC didn't do a very good job on this phone, which is why they released the HTC amaze soon after to correct their mistakes.

It does lag but its interface seems even more bloated than HTC sense. Also, the 3 d requires more power.

I think my sensation xe was good, fast, and reliable with the original Rom it came with ,as soon as I updated to ics it became slow unresponsive , what Anoys me much is when you press menu and select settings ,the setting option remain highlighted for 2 seconds than you'll get setting menu ,where in gingerbread its instant ,for me gingerbrad was way faster than ics ,it still is .I downgraded to gingerbread ,I think HTC are amateurs when they update their phones not pros at all ,don't know how they manage to make a dual core phone with 750mb ram run slow..... On ics

I really love my Sensation XE... but only with custom ROM
Stock battery life is really great for me: about 20 hours with 1:30 hours screen on. I'm also satisfied about CPU performances.

Sensation is good phone..only the battery suck!!

Phones update all the time. I remember when the GS2 just came out. Now we have S4. The point is, if you have a good phone, keep that good phone til it dies. Or, keep things fresh, flash new Roms and have it live forever.
I love my Sensation even after a year, and despite it's issues, (proximity sensor issues) I still use it daily.

The BAD:
*Dust under screen flaw
*CPU draws too much power/runs too hot (Bad impact on battery life)
*Screen draws too much power (Bad impact on battery life)
*Lack of official updates from HTC. (GS2 got JB, we should have at LEAST have Sense 4, ICS)
*Generally poor signal strength.
