Cores on Quadrant? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Korean SGSII, and I looked up the system information by Quadrant and it says 'cores: 1'.
ARM V7I
Isn't it supposed to show 2?

You mean quadrant standard information? Yeah, mine is two..

Huh...it says ARM V7 Processor rev 1(V7I)...with only one core.

One here as well, it doesn't really matter though as it still uses both. Probably just setcpu detecting the information incorrectly.

Try using quadrant standard.. I only get 1 core in quadrant advanced and 2 cores in quadrant standard..

At the.time you check it only uses 1cpu.
Your governor is probably set to: ondemand.
So if you do a lot of things fast, and it neeeds another cpu to keep up with you, that's when the second cpu kicks in.
When you can simulate that and open app fast, you will see it detects two cpu's. I had same issue intil I started switching between tabs really fast and checked back; two instead of one.
Try it.

Standard got ads. Advanced doesn't.
This is also why you see 1 in advanced, and 2 in standard. For the standard version it needs more cpu-power to do everything the app asks for; permissions, ads etc. advanced doesnt have this so thats why you see one. (less actions, less cpu-power needed.)

Quadrant doesn't truly support 2 cores, therefore it sometimes shows 1, other times 2.

I disabled the add in quadrant standard so i think it's not the culprit..

After overclocking to 1.728 ghz my score was 7200 on Antutu. So this tweak should score around 7400-7500
Interesting
Great thread, I'm using the same settings quoted above and while I am seeing an improvement, I'm getting less impressive results. My results are as follows...
Score 6827
Cpu - 3174
Ram - 1364
Gpu - 1551
I/O - 738
Has anyone else got other suggestions to beat this?

It just changes some values in the System's config, which leads to better performance(mostly in benchmarks though) if set up properly. You can always get back to your stock values by just unchecking Apply on boot(if you checked it tho) and reboot.

Hmmm. I don't go buy a pc without researching the benchmarks. I might be using an amd chip had I not looked at the benchmarks of the Intel chips in comparison. I don't suspect our phones and the chips we have in them are any different. There has to be certain tests that prove a chip's performance. There's always a game or function that can push a chip to it's limits, and some of us want to know what those limits are.

I was about to say that score is pretty bad... but then I noticed you aren't on a GNote.
Benchmarking serves a purpose, surely. But real world experience trumps sheer numbers (within reason). For instance, S4 versus Tegra 3. Both excel at certain benchmarks, but in reality, both are great.
Where benchmarking is f'in retarded is when someone *****es that they scored a 6200 and joe schmoe scored a 6250...and they are pissed.

the apps are easily fooled, i can build you a Rom that will show "over 9000!!!!" On benches, but run like total and complete garbage.

Ahh, but that's why we need a benchmark program that's not fooled by the rom. Pc's have them. Aren't our phones merely small pc's?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I know....a benchmark program built into the recovery mode software, so you could test the chip outside of the rom. That is a good idea. That way the test won't be skewed by widgets and background processes. Although I do like to know how much improvement comes from my overclocking.

What application did you used in performing such test? You can overclock the gpu and cpu for better results. And also..turn off the power saving mode before benchmarking because it affects the result.
Benchmarks have nothing to do with real-world usage, in fact many optimizations for real-world usage will cause Quadrant to massively drop.
It there anything performance-wise you are unhappy with and if so: whah.
I'd strongly recommend retaining from overclocking unless you know exactly why you need it and what you are doing (something 99% of people don't seem to get)

You should do the benchmark test when your phone is cool.
I've noticed that I get about 12K when it's cool, and about 8K-9K when it's after some use.

Number 3 is the 4th core. Cores go by 0,1,2 and 3. The details in the app are for the 4th core.

GPU rendering isn't effective for MOST apps. Also take into account, that the MALI 400MP is a very weak GPU. Also, don't mess about in developer option's if you don't know what they do eh?
No you have it disabled. And for the the other dude saying that the MALI 400 is a weak GPU. You are retarded. It has one point (triangles) where it fails compared to newer GPUs. But it is still one of the top GPUs around.

it's WEAK for 2013 i never meant it that way, last year it was a good GPU, 2011 was when the s2 was announced and it carried a mali 400mp. That was clocked at about 200mhz or so, all Samsung did was just overclock it to 440mhz. THAT is the ONLY reason that it kept up with some other GPU's on the market.
