Hi guys
I downloaded the quadrant standard application on my Captivate. Looking into the system info i observed the following
1. CPU : samsung cortex v7. I thght the processor was a v8? I dunno whether the processor info is right.
2. The processor speed is displayes as "800 MHz"
Max freq ; 1000 MHz
MIN freq : 800 MHz
Whatz going on here?
Can someone explain this?
Please run the benchmark and lef me know!

the 800mhz I would assume means it is throttled down.
My results...
Name: ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v71)
Current freq: 800 MHz
Max req: 1000MHz
Min freq: 100 MHz

Just ran the benchmark and got the same thing. Please don't tell me this thing is underclocked. if so is there a program out there that will bring it up to speed?
The processor is a Samsung S5PC110 Cortex-A8 and uses the ARM v7 instruction set. It's not a version 8.
there is an APp to change your CPU clock. Don't do it though, nothing on android requires those extra 200 MHz yet. If your thinking about UI Lag, this is a software issue and not a consequence of the throttled cpu. Hang tight for a fix from developers.
With the software fix and throttled down cpu, this phone is still faster than the newest phones running 2.2 (Froyo)
SetCPU will let you force the frequency. But you shouldn't need to use it, 800MHz just seems to be the Hummingbird's idle frequency. The CPU probably just idled while the graphical benchmarks were being run.
CPU in phones never runs at 100% at all times that would kill battery , you can force it if you root your phone but that is counter productive , as it goes from anywhere from 1% to 100% of its speed when it needs to , during intensive usage or benchmarking it will reach 1000mhz , but if all you do is read text it will conserve battery.
Its obvious from this info below
Current freq: 800 MHz
Max req: 1000MHz
Min freq: 100 MHz
Yes, the Cortex A8 is an ARM7 processor. The older CPU's used were ARM11 processors.
Thankx for the info guys..
I checked again and for some reason i got confused with the processor and was writing the post from memory (my memory ). it says ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v71).
And yes i do think the 800 MHZ is pretty fast.
I just need to get rid of the samsung UI and switch to stock android.

The spec sheet lists 1 GHz, and spec sheets show the operating frequency so I would assume that the CPU can run at different speeds for different workloads. Try running a couple heavy applications in the background and check it again. If all is well in the world it should clock upto 1 GHz.

The processor is NOT 800mhz it's just throttled down to 800mhz cause of not needing the full 1ghz speed. That saves power and battery life gets extended. Laptops and desktops do the same thing.
so in other words it basically adjusts oh and also maybe the ARMv7 infrastructure is better then the 11 one
yes i do get the idea

I do get the idea!.. i inquired about it bcoz nowhere it was mentioned that the processor was underclocked.. So basically the ideal processor speed is 800MHz and it can be overclocked to 1GHz is the way i see it!
sorta like that more like the speed auto adjust to your needs i think
So what kind of scores does this phone get in comparison to other new Android phones with or without 2.2. I am curious between the Quandrant scores of Hummingbird (Galaxy S), OMAP (Droid X), Snapdragon (HTC HD2/EVO 4G).
Thanks.
well the hummingbird beat the evo 4g in graphics and cpu power just search captivate benchmarks on youtube the channel name is androidandme
with mimocans lag fix ive seen people get scores as high as 1700(nexus one on 2.2 gets about 1250).

I flashed Sebastion's overclock kernel and installed System Tuner. I see that I have option to set the CPU overclocked to 1.8 GHz, I didn't even know it could go this high. Then I see "CPU0" and "CPU1". Are these both cores? Because if they are, I only see "CPU0" being overclocked. Does this mean only one core is being used at such a high speed?
I've set it for 1.51GHz and "ondemand". That seems reasonable, right? Any other suggestions?
Some kernels allow you to clock to 1.9, but its not recommended as you can easily fry your chip. CPU 0 and CPU 1 are the two cores, you are correct. I'm not entirely sure if one or both cores are overclocked, but my suspicions would be only the first core, simply because the 'ondemand' governor only turns on the second core if the first one is unable to run process the load efficiently. 1.5 is pretty reasonable yes, but you can even make it lower an still get good performance, an lower clock speeds mean slightly better battery too. I'm running at 1.4 with a badass governor, which is better again for battery consumption.

Hi,
I have a baili-mostlike.com/product/22.html M9701 and all over the internet and even in system info apps say that the max cpu speed is 1.2Ghz. I installed setcpu and voltage control and both have the max cpu speed to 1.2ghz but looking at the historical cpu speed state it never reach the 1.2Ghz and the max is 1008mhz.
How can I increase it?
Thanks
Is there a way to overclock at Xperia m2?
If not, would it be possible for a developer to make a kernel to overclock both the gpu and cpu?
Thank you in advance ...
Sorry my English, I used a translator to create this post ...
I don't think that overclocking is a good idea since the architecture of the M2 is kinda bad. Sony even underclocked the CPU so the phone won't get hot or worse. It is possible
My previous phone was a Xperia E Dual.
It is a low-end single-core 1 Ghz (1000 Mhz) phone. But it has a kernel with an overclock to 1.8 Ghz.
Yes it got really hot at 1.8 Ghz. (About 40 °C after 2 minutes of gaming, then throttling back to 1 Ghz) But for burst workloads (like loading an app) the 1.8 Ghz was good.
If anyone could build an overclocked kernel, I would instantly flash it.
No, the phone isn't slow, but it could be snappier. (Try opening the settings app...)
Still waiting for an overclock.
Since i've installed the new rom release 502 seems that CPU Z is reporting all cores to be stuck at a minimum of 800mhz per core. I could have tried in the past to change to noop and interact with CPU adjust. Now it doesnt work, i want the cores to sleep and keep one of them to 200mhz when full idle.
Any suggestions?
