I just want to know that if we can trust on benchmark scores. How much reliable are they???
If bechmark scores are very good then is it sure that it will perform better and if benchmarks are not that good then will that device be give good performance inspite of its bad benchmarks. I just want to know

Don't count on benchmarks, they don't compare with day to day use. I would never purchase a phone based on benchmarks alone, but rather some hands on time with it.
So how can we make decision about good phone??

I have recently purchased my g2x and even though it seems fast it post really bad quadrant scores on all of the different quadrant test. On the benchmark test it was up to 2400 no can't get past 1300. Does this mean one of the processors went out.

Quadrant Standard sucks for benchmarks. It is inconsistent and gives odd scores, like the time I scored 24000 with my ZIO.... yeah right, this phone is lucky to hit 1080 with our new overclocked kernel
Use AnTutu Benchmark and you should get more consistent scores.

Does the phone feel laggy during normal use? If not I wouldn't wory too much about quadrant scores. Try running a Linpack benchmark. Your score should be in the low 30's.
No it feels like its running great just really low scores all around. Im getting about 18 on linpqck
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Yeah i'm experiencing the same thing can't even get past 2000 and when i check quadrant about phone option it says i have one core pretty sure no one screwed up my phone when they shipped it... T__T
I think peoples experiences with Quadrant seem to vary a great deal. I tend to get pretty consistent results from it.
My Skyrocket gets way higher quadrant scores than a friend of mine's OGS2.
3500vs3100
Yet... On every visual test he gets 20fps MORE than I do? Why is his score lower? the phone feels faster than mine.
Thoughts?
Overall I found the OGS2 to be smoother with the animations, etc.
Graphic tests (2D and 3D) are only some parts from the overall Quadrant test (CPU, Memory, I/O, Graphic). If you're using Quadrant Advanced, you could see scores from each test performed.
What if you try other benchmark app such as Antutu ? You'll get more detailed result.

Most probably...
I was shocked to see the results. but in "3d" test, the S2 simply blew the SR out of the water.
And the OS itself seemed more fluid than the skyrocket.
I got 4000 on quadrant with stock Rom.....
Take that OGS2!
both phones are fast in there own way.
but let the pissing contest continue, as you were.
They have different processors or chip sets. (one or both of them. I forget.)

Strange Observation
Today I received my replacement SR from Amazon and I ran few Quadrant tests and was constantly getting 3000+ score, with highest being 3360. Without installing anything else I just rooted the phone with Easy Root and then re-ran Quadrant test few times and did not get 3000+ score even once. The best I got was 2500. All other scores were between 2200 - 2300.
Any idea why rooting the phone can cause this drop? I also noticed that after rooting, the phone does not feel as snappy as stock.

Its not the root.. Quadrant tests are pointless and the more you run them the less they get.. they are very erratic...
Antu or Cf Bench are much more accurate and true to form.

Antutu or CF might be more accurate but since I use one tool to compare the different ROMS / Phones..... that shouldn't matter.

This is UNTRUE if quadrant its self is not accurate it will only make ur Baseline for tests just as in accurate and false.

Exactly. If you run 10 tests and get 10 greatly varying results then something is wrong haha.
I have this argument with people all the time on quadrant and sleedtest.net (xtremelabs speed test is more consistent)

eHow does the camera suck? Who cares about ics? There's at least 5 different builds here. I beg to differ on the cores being utilized efficiently, now with the update everything runs pretty efficiently. Battery life will show that. Its so hard having grown up in the 1970's -1980's to understand how younger generations appreciate nothing and expect perfection. It has to do with the internets. When I got my Atari 2600 in 1980, I was sooooo happy with it. There was no forum to chew the Developers asses. Not to mention, its just rude. Could you imagine the 2600 being released today? 90% of ya would kill yourselves.

Well for one I care about the "benchmark shizz"
But its always been about how the phone runs. That's why they invented benchmark programs to score each phones performance so you can compare how the hardware/software combination you are using performs. Using that tool you can actually get a tangable number for each setup you run therefore giving you the higher number for higher performance. So think about what you say before you go contradicting yourself in public.

Why F*ck numbers? Pretty sure binary is numbers..... you got a bad attitude.

its been said that quadrant doesnt relate to real world performance very well. for example i lost 50% after update on quadrant back with the evo and the phone actually felt faster. Run quadrant if you want but just dont put a lot of faith in the score vs your user experience. What is important is how it feels to YOU, not quadrant. Most all of the early reports say 1.85 feels a good bit faster than the others..
Yeah, I do realize that, but I also want to compare scores with others who updated to 1.85 because if everyone else is getting better scores still then maybe there's something wrong with my device, though I bet that is highly unlikely as it is just software.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I can concur with the OP. I had scores of 5200, when I updated, they went down to about 4600. Doesn't make a difference as the phone is a little smoother now.
happened to me too. pisses me off!
I had scores anywhere from 4700-5150 now I can't get any higher than 4500 after the update.

Interesting. This may be why I only get 6800-7500 in Quadrant on AOSP roms, but on Samsung touchwiz roms I get a MUCH higher score.

I too agree that benchmark doesn't mean much to user experience. A custom ROM can mean a whole lot more in term of smoothness
