Hi! Reading a lot about people comparing their quadrant benchmarks....so had this question....What is a Quadrant Benchmark? I can guess it's some kind of performance measuring process of mobile phones? So what exactly does it measure? And how to get my SGS II's quadrant benchmark.....which app to use?
quadrant benchmark apk from the market

Its fairly useless in telling how a phone behaves . If you suffer from big number syndrome its grate .

Found out it is used to measure the cpu, graphics 2D and 3D performance etc. Ofcourse, the SGS II has a higher score than any other android phone in the market. But do the scores differ even within SGS II from individual to individual? And would the score reduce if you have lots of apps installed on your phone?

I am wondering what is the point of just pursuing higher Quadrant score?
Ok, you got a high quadrant score, does it mean your phone is running better?
Better has different aspects:
stability
speed
battery consumption
usability
so, come on guys, please stop pursuing higher score blindly!
I always see people posting how hight their quadrant score were, but not mentioning if their phone were working better with that high scores.

The point of going for a high quadrant score is speed & response, the higher quadrant is the higher the response and speed of the OS will be ,cause if you check in quadrant it checks CPU/RAM/3D/2D/I/O.
The 3D,2D and RAM doesnt change between OS's but CPU and I/O does,because I/O is the "Input / Output" that if it is higher,the OS will work alot smoother nevertheless because its clean and simple just how it was ment to be.
Also 2.1 and 2.2 does make a diference,i mean read about the diferences and they say the 2.2 can be between 100% to 500% faster,and if you check stock 2.1's 500 compared to stock 2.2's 1400,you get around 280% more speed.
Battery Consumption / Stability : It has nothing to do with Q's scores,thats more of the OS configuration and CPU Scaling.
Just try it out yourself : Use Normal SE 0.24 and do Q ,youll get around 500 or so,and you will notice the OS is very laggy even without a live wallpaper.
Now go for FreeX10 2.2 and do Q,youll get around 1400 and it will work awesomely fast even WITH a live wallpaper.
So in one brief description : The higher Q's score is,the better the device's Hardware interacts with its Software giving you smoother and faster usability of it,and stability + battery consumption is something totally diferent that if they dont work as they should,can be fixed by modifying the OS and its settings.
Edit : Thats why we are after high Q's scores rather than Linpack scores,Linpack only tests CPU speed by using the language defined in the OS (JIT etc)and even if it would be 120 would be useless if the I/O is rubbish.
So yeah,Q's score marks a diference.

Hows the gaming on Tbolt?. Way better than older snapdragons like evo or inc? Comparable to galaxy s? Choppy? Smooth? Im just curious.
It is a lot better than the Evo but not on the same level of SGS phones, Samsung is always ahead in the graphics department.
So maybe droid x level?
Depends on what you are playing, of course. N64oid doesn't run all games smoothly yet.
The new Snapdragon processor that is in the thunderbolt is pretty much the same as the first hummingbird, so the graphic capabilities should also be about the same. I came from a Captivate and all the games I played on it play just as well. I do miss that SAMOLED screen though...
emulators are available right? like gameboid etc? You dont need root do you?

Dont see whynot
I play this stupid little game called The Elements which is VERY processor intensive.
It ran pretty good on my Incredible. Ran pretty choppy on my Droid X, but on the Thunderbolt, it's smooth as heck. Way better than the previous two phones.
I bought the let's golf game accidentally but its a lot of fun and runs great for whatever kind of processor usage it takes...I still have to get raging thunder off my Droid but that should be good too..

It is not anywhere close to the Hummingbird when it comes to graphics. Go look at some of the Quadrant tests and look at how smooth the graphics are. Thunderbolt stutters a bit but way way way better than the Evo ever was or could be.
If you run a Smartbench 2010 test, it will show the results for a SGS phone, graphics score way higher.

Yea because not the humming bird CPU but the sgs gpu (graphics processing unit) the snapdragon is was superior but Samsung gpu is better

Hummingbird is both the CPU + GPU. CPU wise, they are based on ARM Cortex A8. Info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Hummingbird
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex_A8
So in the end, Hummingbird is superior when it comes to graphic capabilities. Thunderbolt is faster when it comes to data crunching and processing.
"The current generation Snapdragon uses Adreno 205 GPUs. This GPU is just as fast as the Hummingbird, if not faster."

That is not what the benchmarks are saying. Run one yourself.
Benchmarks are Benchmarks, Real Life performance is Real life performace.
My TB has been beastly on Words with Friends.
So,as the title points out,Nenamark 2 is out and it sports some MUCH more advanced graphics,meaning it will stretch the GPU's abilities to the maximum.
Owning a Desire HD,I get 48 FPS @1.8GHz and performance governor on Nenamark 1.5(where GS2 gets 59.7).On the new Nenamark 2,with the exact same setup,I get a miserable 13.3 FPS.And I can tell you,graphics' quality of the benchmark can be compared to some simple PC games(Not Crysis obviously ).
So,what are your results?
(Same thread also on Sensation forums)
Here's my first and only run
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I got 45.6 on my first run.. stock rom.
Seems the sgs2 is ruling the roost on this benchmark
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
49.7fps with stock ROM and performance governor in setCPU.
Did 3 runs, got 49.x fps in each run.
Sensation is handicapped in the test because it is running at higher res.
Could you guys try turning Chainfire3D off for a try?In case it affects results showing raw power of the GPU.

I got 43,x with stock firmware and no root (so no Chainfire3D)
And yep,that's what I'm talkin' about!
I'm 80% sold at this point and all's inclining towards the Galaxy S 2!My wallet included!
Someone with the 1.5ghz overclock should try this
36 on first run, my sgs2 is a slough lol

I've scored lows of 36 too.
45.4 fps for me
Software has bugs. Shows needle between 50-60 but scores me at 43. First run was 35 after closing some apps.

How about Electopia OpenGL ES 2.0 benchmark utility?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tactel.electopia
Has anyone used this for benchmarks? I don't have the phone myself, so can't test it
Third run i got 44.6 not to bothered about scores, not relevant in real world.

49/50 on electopia
45.2 - original ROM
just want to know how noticable the difference in GPU performance is vs the iPhone 4S graphics. Iv seen all the benchmarks, however I dont believe they measure accurately so therefore i am just wondering how different or noticable the graphics are in comparison...
1) Benchmarks are utterly pointless/meaningless. They do not even remotely simulate real world use.
2) How do you make an honest/objective/realistic comparison between two phones with completely different hardware ? Answer: You can't. Any comparison made will be purely subjective/opinion only.

Ive yet to play a game on the sgs2 that doesnt run super smooth....
Riptide gp, dead space etc
Should developers start making more advanced games to maximize GPU potential, the iphone4s will reach its bottleneck for its 800mhz cpu anyway.

So i just ran a test for the antutu benchmark with just the phone and nothing else and this is what i got Ill be running quadrant bench test also and that will be in my next reply Cant wait for root and unlock!
EDIT: Heres quadrant test stock with no 4g or extra stuff
wow how is the Antutu score so high???

Sd cards don't help performance.
I got an Antutu score of 18424 right after activation
For reference, my Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet only had scores in the 12,000 range... WOW
I just received my Galaxy Note II today and was a bit shocked that it scored a lower score in AnTuTu's benchmark than my HTC Droid DNA. Given that it has a faster CPU and less pixels to render, you would think it would be faster.
I scored 19164 with my HTC Droid DNA, which is much higher than the 18084 I got with the Galaxy Note II.

Processor is newere on the droid dna, I will always say we don't use benchmarks, so stop being disappointed in your score it by no means represents everyday use..They are both future proof for a few years..
I have to laugh at people who care about benchmark scores when they have a device with a quad core cpu in it running Android.
Haha I don't care really about benchmarks I was just impressed that's all. DNA is nice but I need sd card and something with battery life. Only got about 3/4 through a day on a full charge.

Im guessing rooted and unlocked? lol i got mine up 12000 rooted with a different kernal. As long as the phone runs fast and smooth i could care less lol
Benchmarks are far from worthless. They are an objective indicator of how certain components perform under the exact same stress test.
Now what you can say is worthless is people who look at a final score that is rather irrational instead of looking at individual component scores.
For example, CPU scores in these benchmarks is a clear indicator of which phone has a faster processor. While the very same phone that had a slower processor may have a significantly better GPU. What this means to the end user is that expect games to perform better on the slower CPU phone, but also expect things like web browsing to perform worse on the same device.
It's all objective comparisons, certainly not something to claim as "worthless" but at the same time if you do not look at it the right way and just throw a generic total score number around, then you won't be fairly comparing any two devices properly.

Wrong. The higher class sdcard, the faster the read/write speeds = better performance.

thank you :victory: My 64gb sd card increased the benchmark also. :good: And ya i usually look at certain things when running benchmarks but thats usually when im rooted and unlocked is when i really look at them closely.
After running Quadrant, my phone seems to warm up and each subsequent score is somewhat lower. I started at 6500 and it bottoms out around 6000. Anyone else have this heat problem?
Make sure everything is closed out when u run a test. It's putting everything to work in the phone so it's stressed out which could cause a lot of heat
