Is Antutu a bad benchmarking tool? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I've been a big fan of Antutu and have been using it to compare performances for several phones. However, I noticed that in several places when they compare Att vs. International hox, no one posted the Antutu benchmark results.
Below is the result from international HOX.

And this is the result from my local Att store's HOX
There is a huge difference. And they still say that the two phones are comparable in processor performance, why?

This topic has already been discussed ad nauseum in this forum. Antutu is highly threaded and thus able to take advantage of all four cores on the Tegra 3. In the rare situations where an app is able to take full advantage of four cores of the Tegra3, it will come out ahead. However, this does not represent the common use case. Even on the desktop, few apps take advantage of more than one core, let alone two. The advantage of four cores is debatable. The advantage of faster, more energy efficient cores is not.

I agree. Every benchmark has it's own bias.
For example, the dual core will destroy the quad in something like linpack. Or increasing just the SD cache size will add a ridiculous amount to your quadrant score.
None of them truly represent actual performance. The only ones that can would be actual in-game benchmarks of games with the FPS shown. And that's just if you want to benchmark the gaming performance.

Gtablet CPU Wars 2 vs Droid X

Dual vs Single.
Viewsonic Gtab is sporting the Nvidia dual-core Tegra cpu and I wanted to see how is compares to the Motorola Droid X single-core Texas Instrument OMAP 3630. I ran Softweg Benchmark app to compare results.

Wonder how much Gingerbread OS is factoring into the score difference? Looks like a lot of optimizing has been done with the Tegra processor. Rumors that the Droid X will be coming out with a dual-core processor also.
Forgive me if I'm being thick, but I'm not quite sure what you're trying to illustrate here. Are you trying to say that a dual-core chip doesn't suck against a single core chip? I think that the Optimus 2X is the only phone that is close to kicking our tab's butt and it has the same processor. So...what was this comparison meant to show?

I made 6 benchmark post for information. I like to see how device perform under different benchmarks so I have an idea how they perform. Easier to make decisions on price to performance. I'm convinced the Gtab is the best price/performance 10" tablet on the market. I tossed my Droid X in since it has plenty of users, lots of reviews and illustrates how much the Tegra cpu is bringing to the tablet/mobile world. Can you post your Optimus 2X numbers?

I9000 GPU.

Anyone know if antutu supports dual core?
Because the hummingbird's GPU considering the cpu clock speed is at 1ghz, antutu reports back 1106, now if i oc'ed it to 1.2ghz , i bet this I9000 could perform just as well as the new nexus on certain games

^^ my phone, Samsung Galaxy I9000 (16gb version, 4 months old, came with 2.3 now on 2.3.3, now my 3D graphics score is 1106.
Here is now the
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4a-sphr07c
above is the new galaxy nexus, which has a dual core, it has a faster cpu, by rights, it should really own a phone as old as the i9000 fair to say.. but, if you break, it down you'll see that the nexus's GPU power only gives it's a slight boost, 3D 1226 on the galaxy nexus, and on a humble I9000 GS, we have 1106..
Now what gives the impression of a superior score, is of course, double/triple the memory and significant IO/read/writes.., when it comes to Asphalt 6 on the I9000 vs I91000, there's really not much difference on that game...
So the differences between an i9000 and say a galaxus nexus, please it can't be just triple the memory, a faster clock frequency, and a slightly more powerful GPU? because the difference after you OC the hummingbird processor of how the GPU (specifically GPU here) performs....
I was lead to believe the GPU in this was significantly better than the I9000's?
You sure you have the original galaxy s2 the 2d score with exynos and Mali should be around 900 something. The t-mobile version has a snapdragon s3 processor.

[Q] why use only one core?

i try quadrant standart and i have low score

next i see into system information uses only one core
i try disable mobile data but still only one core. next i try fly mode and there are 2 core. but when i try disable fly mode and enable again there is only one core.
when i reboot phone i have 2 core about a few minutes
and score is better
what is wrong?
The second core activates when needed so since you were using the phone it 'came alive' thus giving you the better score.
but when i run test, secound core is needed but still run only one. when i work on phone and look into quadrant still writes only one core.
I tried to run the test 5 times, but still is low score

You're new here, aren't you?
Don't use quadrant. It's crap, and has been for a long while. And also, the "new" scores are since it was updated for multi core, they are much lower all around.
our CPU is built to only use 1 core most of the time. But when a threshold on cpu0 is reached, cpu1 activates until a lower threshold is reached.
And no, it's not good to force the 2nd CPU to be online always, as it actually makes the phone slower.

i'm somewhat of an idiot to this quadrant speak...can you explain, to the lay person, what this means?

Quadrant is just an app that benchmarks your phone. Or simply put runs a series of tests on your phone to determine how fast your phone can perform tasks. It tests GPU, CPU and how efficient your phones ram is along with other things. It will then provide a score for how well your device has performed the tasks. The higher the score the better.
i get also scores >6400 (stock), whereas my friends (stock) galaxy S3 gets only 5800. I kow benchmark scores does not really say anthing about everyday-use-performance but also in this area i prefer to use the One S and can say it is indeed more fluid than S3. we can say the One S is the best phone <4,5" ..
HTC did a well done job in releasing such a powerful phone which does not have sizes of tablets but a comfortable easy to handle 4.3" screen. I hope they release Sense 5 soon, and i am waiting for the successor of One S with same dimensions but higher pixel density and higher battery-capacity.
I'm on Twisted Kernel OC'd at 1.9GHz and I'm only getting a 4k score. When I was on ViperOneS, I had a 5.8k score or something. Not fair :x
when it comes to benchmarks, for me stock was always the one with most points. does not say anything about overall performance tough

Question My Exynos 2200 Geekbench score

Is my Geekbench score okay or something is wrong?

Quite under the expected range. Did you perform it at ambient temperature, or used a heavy-load app stressing the chip just before running the test?
I remember my first one gave similar results, I then ran an other one and it was more accurate to the chip advertised performances.

I tried to run it after a while and it performs much better now, I don't know what caused it, before first test I was using Chrome nothing much...

When you look at your screenshot, it seems the CPU is also focusing on how energy is spent (energy_aware), which could also explain the first results. The device can understand how you use it and adapt the power usage depending on what you "teach" it. So nothing to worry about.
Also, the Android 13 Beta is showing some improvements for Exynos versions of the device, so expect it to run even better with time.
Here are my current results with the Android 13 Beta 1 on my Exynos 2200, so you can see the little improvement.
