Hi, i'm just got my SGS 3 a few day, and try to run several benchmark. But when i'm used quadrant benchmark 2.1, it's say that my max proc is 1.4 GHz, but running only 1 GHz. My question can i get maximum speed for my SGS 3 to 1.4 GHz?
Install CPU app such as Voltage Control or SetCPU and set min frequency to 1400MHz.
Paid donate versions (well worth it) found in Google Play and XDA free versions found with a little searching.
Do not set on boot for testing! Run benchmark app. Obviously root is required.

the clock varies at the time of reporting, when the clock speed is checked it is running @ 1 ghz. btw an update has been released, try updating it.
okay, i try to update.

Can anybody enlighten me or point me to a thread as to why the second core only works when I have setcpu installed on my resound?
Thanks!

Second core only comes on when it's needed, and Gingerbread really wasn't designed with more than 1 core in mind. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461875 Search is your best friend.
Be happy it does, I spent 3 days trying to figure out why my 2nd core wasnt coming online. I finally found a post about it on xda.

Even then, when it's needed, and using ICS it doesn't turn on unless you're using SetCPU.
If you want to enable it manually do this from either "adb shell" or from the console on your phone:
Here's the full command string:
su
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
I know benchmarks don't really mean that much but with my second core enabled and both OC'd to 1.7 GHz while on Newt's Senseless ICS, my scores destroy the GNex and anything I was getting before!
Antutu: 6,929
Quadrant: 3,594

How is the battery life after 2nd core is activated ?
Thanks
I dont see a difference, as each core shares responsibility. So instead of one core being at 1.7ghz each core an be at 850mhz. Although sometimes the one core will max out without intiating the 2nd core.

Pretty crappy, but then again I have it at 75% brightness and the performance gov set to 1.7 GHz and 192 MHz with the screen off. My phone was fully charged at 1 PM, and it's currently at 45% using the standard battery. I only ran a few benchmarks with antutu and quadrant and a few other less intensive things. Looking at the battery info 78% of my battery usage is from the screen.
Try the AnthraX kernal in the development section. I believe its clocked at 1.51 to force the second core to turn on.

I have it up and running, so far so good.
I just tried it and it will boot up for me but the touchscreen won't work. I'm using Newt's Senseless.
System Tuner Pro will allow you to force both cores online. Also it overclocks and undervolts aswell.

It currently only works with GB roms. Ignore me if Newt's Senseless is one, I thought it was ICS.
It is an ICS ROM I saw some people had it working with ineffibilis so I decided to give it a shot for the hell of it to see if it would work.
You dont need to force the 2nd core on, it will kick on. If you arent using setcpu that could be an issue. Antutu doesnt work. Also use cpu usage monitor and you can see both cores work.

Just a note i read on one of the kernels they stopped forcing the second core on because it caused issues. In the end i truly believe it would be unwise to do so. Let the cpu do its thing. Im on bamf 1.02 and my second core kicks on when it needs to.

so it's wise to use setcpu over antutu? I'll have to try again since I usually get freezing using setcpu with all kernels. no oc nor uv. might just be a bad combo between undeclock and current governor
I just tried enabling both cores with system tuner pro and it worked but evening started going a little jerky. I disabled it again and everything was fine again.

Yeah forcing 2nd core online is a bad idea. Using setcpu, oc max 1.7 min 192. No profiles no uv. Using cpu usage monitor to view cpu usage.

I suggest everyone go give that a quick read through, turns out our dual core snapdragons are quite a bit different then most of the other dual core soc's out today.
On cf-bench mine has a higher score than the s2. Im not worried

Rooted and installed SetCPU, I know the kernel probably won't support it, but tried setting it up anyways. In SetCPU I set the max to the 1.5 GHz, but constantly saw it running at the 1 GHz. So I installed CPU spy, and its stats matched what I was seeing in SetCPU, the time is spent mostly in 3 states, 1 GHz 37%, 702 MHz 39%, and 384 MHz 18%, the rest vary in between those, but never over 1 GHz.
Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas why its running like this?
I would try a kernel manager and download a new kernel. Or try rebooting your phone.

That was it, thanks. Would have taken me forever to think of that.
i was messing aroud with voltage control and cpu spy and i noticed that the cpu speed was only topping out at like 1ghz these phones come with dual core 1.5 ghz correct? mine has never seen that high of a speed is there a reason or am i missing something? on my s2 it had a 1.2 dual core cpu i believe and it said how long each speed had seen action and i even bumped it up to like 1.4. im nervous to mess around with the speed if its already 1.5 i was just gonna set it to like 1.6 or something.but it seems mine is running each core at just 1ghz can anyone lend me some light on this.
You have Power Saving ON , that limits max cpu speed.
ahh thank you so much another question on spu spy it says unused cpu stats im guessing is 1.1 and 1.2 is there a reason they are unused? also just a guess but looks like i cant go any higher than 1.5 with voltage control? is there another app that lets me bump it up to like 1.6? or 1.7?
Don't worry about it , cpuspy doesn't have full history of your cpu activity, cpu clocks up and down depending on load.
CpuSpy is not very reliable from my experience.
You need to flash a different kernel that will allow you to over clock the cpu. Voltage control will allow you to do this but you need a kernel that will let you over clock first.

ok thanks.
Me and my friend were benchmarking together (we both use MiniPro). I use Serenity ROM and my friend uses MiniCMSandwich ROM which is based on AOKP and has overclocking option in the ROM Control. I'm using AnTuTu CPU Master to overclock mine. In AnTuTu, the maximum value for overclocking is 1.6 GHz while in MiniCMSandwich ROM Control the option is up to 2 GHz. My friend just wanted to test the 2 GHz (our devices are working fine under 1.6 GHz) and suddenly after he picked the option, the phone shuts down automatically (gracefully, fortunately). Though he finally managed to get everything back (by quickly changing the overclock value back to normal at boot), we're still curious. How far can we overclock this device?
It depends on the kernel you are using. Normally our device's kernel allow overclocking up to 2Ghz max. DO NOT overclock your device unnecessarily! It will eventually fry your central processing unit.
Hit thanks if I've helped.

Don't overclock above 1.3 Ghz.... Unless you want your device to be fried..... Performance at 1.8 Ghz is practically same as at 1.3 Ghz... ( Not talking of benchmarks ) .....
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
1.3ghz performance is the same 1.8ghz really? yeah im not talking about benckmark
coz theres a game that force me to use 1.4ghz. using stock up to 1.3ghz will produce stutter sound in my case (have tried in st17i n r800i)
i dont feel any heat it produce by overclocking 1.4ghz coz i undervolt it. my device only getting warm when i plug the charger n thats normal i think
I'm trying to develop an OC'd kernel for Pantech vega racer 2 phone. It has the same hardware as HTC Evita.
I was able to overckock it using zarboz' and rohan's work. But the frequence is drops down to stock 1.5 Ghz while the processor is on max load.
For example, I started SetCPU stress test and after few minutes checked max freq. It was dropped down to stock 1.5 Ghz.
The same with Antutu bench. Even with OCing up to 2 Ghz in final resulst it show 1512 Mhz and freqs are dropped down.
Due to the lack of development for this phone, I can't find any examples of OC code especially for this phone, so,Devs, I need your help.

Thermal throttling is your issue.
It reduces the CPU frequency a lower one to protect your battery from heat...
Try editing or deleting thermald.conf from /bin.
