So I've gotten anywhere between 2.5 to 5.1 MFLOPS using various ROMS and have yet to be able to notice something incredibly different.
710...768...806 - What does it matter? What program other than Linpack shows a sizable difference? Sure, maybe things open quicker? What am I missing here?
I read all this about achieving high MFLOPS and OC Kernels yet I still can't achieve smooth game play on 16 bit emulator on my phone with 5 MFLOPS.
MFLOPS mean jack when there is little way to observe the difference.

Linpack MFLOPS - measures the floating point performance of your phone.
710...768...806 - refers to CPU frequencies
increasing the CPU frequency should equate to better general-case performance, including things opening quicker as you mention, but also other types of general snappiness like moving between screens and so forth.
"I read all this about achieving high MFLOPS and OC Kernels yet I still can't achieve smooth game play on 16 bit emulator on my phone with 5 MFLOPS." - This may have less to do with the performance of your phone and more to do with the emulator itself. Emulation is a surprisingly CPU intensive operation, especially if the emulater isn't well written. Rather than looking a ton into overclocking and JIT, etc, maybe you ought to look for a better piece of software.
Yea,
I've tested most emulators. Wish there was an Atari emulator!
Thanks for the response.

Haha Awesome
it looks like to me that everyone is look at the wrong things.
for example:
I am running a Tom that is getting on a average of 4.9 mflops.
I get smoother screen changes....
streaming videos online is so much faster compared to a 3.0 mflop rom. ...
tubetube and other....... websites.
to me everything I do is faster...
I.don't play game on my phone so I don't know how that is.... but everythng else I do is very much faster.
I love high mflop roms...
I have notice about mflops is that it matters about the kernal that u use.
Isn't it true that the MSM7201 in our phones is already overclocked to get to 528mhz as it is? I see a lot of different places saying Qualcomm chips in general are just not worth overclocking... and since our chip is factory overclocked to begin with... just seems like we're pushing the already-pushed here. But the way this board goes crazy for overclocking... it's contradictory. I don't know what to think, cause I've run Linpack myself and gotten ~4.9 with JIT + OC versus ~2.5 without... but I'm with the OP on this one... only difference I'm seeing is my battery draining faster and my phone getting physically hotter.

I have OC and JIT and getting about 5.1 mflops and haven't had worse battery life or a hotter phone. It could be the battery I'm using but meh (got a replacement one that's 2000 mAh) but I got worse battery life on leak 2.1 than with the rom I'm using now that has OC, JIT, LWP, etc. I can go about 8 hours with heavy texting, moderate internet usage and my lwp's running and it only goes to about 65%
so OC and Jit don't make that big of a difference in gameplay?

What the OP and all the respondents are noting is frankly quite typical of what happens when performance tuning focuses on a single benchmark: the results obtained are essentially meaningless for different kinds of activities on the same device.
That's because there's a whole chain of dependencies that are specific to a given task, any number of which could become the rate-limiting factor; and a different task on the device will have a different set of dependencies and therefore different rate-limiting behaviors.
For instance, let's take writing to an SD card as an example: there's really no way that OC'ing will speed that up in a measurable way - because the CPU isn't the rate limiting factor.
That Linpack benchmark measures floating-point performance using a software library (as the Eris has no hardware FP capability). Most of the apps on the phone do very little FP work at all. But, it's not a bad test of CPU speed, because it performs no I/O. It also may not be very memory bandwidth intensive, either (if the problems it works on stays in the uP cache and there are few page faults).
OTOH, a game emulator needs to write to the graphics display (at a minimum) and possibly also do read I/O from flash.
Different task, different results. Sometimes things can be improved by hardware or firmware; sometimes the software itself needs to be improved.

Thanks for my laugh of the day on that one.
What I'm trying to get at is -
I should be able to play, at the basic level, Sonic or Mario - Without issues.
At the very least
I prefer roms over market games any day (Sonic, Mario, Zelda, DK-Country) and it cripples the phone, at least in my view, that I cannot enjoy the fruits of old games.
Although, I was able to find some old Atari games - which, thankfully, work without stuttering.
So I could be wrong and I am not a expert but i thought i would post this I have seen a lot of forums on the web that say hardware acceleration doesnt work on our phone or on Gingerbread in the first place but this link seems to work for me and has a flash-able zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999064
please if there is a better zip or method tell me or any other info you might have on this topic or this link thanks
Well, i am using hardware acceleration for a while now ant i must say, it works great. UI is more snappy now, being rendered by GPU not CPU. And there are a lot of tweaks to be made to improve the performance and battery of O1.
The easy way and in my opinion, the best, is to flash a custom ROM (you have plenty to chose from) and apply the tweaks you need. You just have to take an hour or two and read carefully the threads dedicated for that, or google the issue.
Of course, any change you do to your phone is on your own risk, so try to read carefully what others say. You may prevent some damage by doing that.
If you are familiar with benchmarking, i can say that some of us got higher scores than a lot of high-range smartphones like Galaxy S or Desire. A lot higher.
Just check the threads dedicated to O1 here on XDA and you can make an opinion.
BTW, Franco's tweaks from the link you posted above are absolutely mad! They bring a lot of improvement on batt and hw.
Cheers!
yea i am running CM7 from milkos and it works great i am overclocked at 806 with his kernal and quandrant benchmark between 1200and 1300 witch is nice yea i like his tweeks too i guess i was just wondering what other things were out there
806 Mhz is a "risky" overclock but if it works great then... GREAT !!! usually i've heard that the best compromise between speed, battery and stability is around 730 Mhz.
and yes, overclocking works indeed
Well, as battery life on Mik's 2.3 is not so good for now, i'm running franco's devoid. And i must say, i am most impressed. Very good battery life, outstanding speed and performance. And it has his own tweaks embedded. Adding data2sd could get you to over 1500 pts in quadrant. So it the best rom i found out there until now.
You can check it out from my signature!
using cm7 with francos tweaks.. amazes me how crappy stock rom is.
This morning I restarted my prime and im looking at system tuner pro...
All 4 cores are active and stuck on either 475mhz or 1.2mhz!
I didn't change anything...governer is interactive 102-1.6mhz limit....the cores wont turn off or scale down. It would usually scale down to 102mhz and turn off 2 cores...but they're all online...
FAST is good but it's killing my battery =P
Anyone know whats going on?
Pretty sire this is across the board for the most part. This happened after update to ICS or last update. Ive noticed it also but it scales to other frequencies also. Doesn't seem to effect battery too much. Your best bet if you worried about battery is to throw it in power savings mode in Asus quick settings. But no matter what mode its in, it seems to like to stay near maxed out. Maybe Asus adjusted the frequency timing to speed up things in ICS.
apologies
I'm sorry, I didn't see any other posts about this issue.
Thanks for your input
Yeah, I've had the same problem since the ICS update, but still can't find a solution, so I'm waitng for recovery and back to HC.. And, btw, it's killing my battery - it barely holds a whole day since then..
This seems like a plausible explanation for all the reboots people are seeing. With ICS the processor is kept in a more active state which uncovers wafer defects and heats up the SoC until it goes into protection mode.
Some processors handle the load better than others and it seems the spread is veeeery wide. nVidia is probably supplying Asus with parts from all bins, if they even bother to quality check and rate their parts after coming off the production lines.
I would argue that nVidia's thresholds for what is considered a passable Tegra 3 chip are way too low for real world applications.

Maybe. I can run overclocked to 1.6Ghz n still be fine no reboots. Like you said, not all chips exactly the same though. Small variances between all chips.
I'm hoping/assuming ASUS is aware of this, but just in case they're not, has anyone brought this to Gary's attention?

I'm sure they do know already. Probably amped the frequency timing up so ICS can stay as smooth as it is. It may get adjusted in new update we supposed to get any day now. New update "supposedly" fixes alot of issues.

Just took a look on system tuner, mine still scales down to 102Mhz. Not all 4 cores on all the time. It does like to stay in the higher range though alot. It all depends on what you doing and what you have running in background also.
mine used to scale down to 102mhz as well...and usually with the 3rd and 4th core offline
Odd that it has changed....
Thanks for all the input...im gonna try and see if manually updating to ICS will make any difference
*edit: I put the update file into the system root but TFP won't prompt/recognize the update...guess it won't make a difference....I'll try backing up then doing a factory reset
I'm seeing something a little different. Mine scales all over the place, except it barely ever hits 1300MHz or 1400MHz, even when set on Performance and gaming/benchmarking. For example, right now, mine only show 3 seconds on 1400MHz and 5 seconds on 1300MHz, out of 13 hours uptime.
I think ASUS and Nvidia have some work left to do in getting the Tegra 3 optimized. I'd really rather mine actually use its fastest stock speeds when in Performance mode.
Overclocking?

How did you get to overclock? I rooted mine, but had to return it because of problems. However, I couldn't overclock it either.
What's yur secret?
Update: Did a factory reset and all 4 cores are still online 425mhz-1.2 =(
Seems like my i/o speed just got worse and now there's severe lag...

That's how its supposed to be. It doesn't run at top speed full time..lol your battery wouldn't lastlong at all if it did that. It only hit tops speeds when needed. Then it scales back when not needed anymore.
As far as your timing showing only a few seconds at top speed, all that means is you didn't do anything the prime needed top speeds for.
If you want to run at full speeds all the time I have your solution. If you rooted get System tuner app. Then open app up. Go to CPU tweaks. There it shows you what all 4 cores are running a piece in real time. The governor should be on default interactive mode. All you do it put governor on performance mode. Then raise your minimum speed up to the Max. Now your prime will be running at top speeds all the time. Now beware though, expect battery to drain alot faster.
I did that trick with my overclock n can have all 4 cores maxed out to 1.6Ghz at once. Battery drains faster than Asus performance mode though. As far as speeds go though, I can put my prime in stock powersavings mode, lowest power settings, n everything still moves fast n fluid. Same with heavy duty games also. There's nothing out on Android yet to really need overclocking power yet. PRIME handles anything you throw at it in stock settings. OVERCLOCKING is just for kicks really andbto make things that much faster. Not really needed. Overclocking will be better once bootloader unlocked and we get undervolting paired with overclocking. That way we can get great battery life and more power. Nothing wrong with overclocking though. I'd say if you not worried about battery life or gonna eventually be near a powersource, go for it. Android developement section of Prime. Its called VioerControl Mod. Very easy to install n setup. Works great. Everyone rooted should give it a whirl if you looking for more power or want to push the envelope.

My mistake. I'd forgotten that I'd rebooted since running the benchmarks and gaming, so my CPU Spy values didn't reflect them. I just ran some benchmarks and 1400MHz now shows 18 seconds while 1300MHz now shows 2:08 minutes.
I would still like to see that as running at 1400MHz throughout the benchmarks, so I stand by my statement that some additional tuning is required.

what Firmware specifically are you guys on????
I just downloaded system tuner... I'm running ICS, and my tablet has been rock solid (not a single reboot).
CPU0 is running around 200-400MHz, and the other 3 cores are offline (although core 1 comes online for a bit now and then.) And, my battery life is excellent.... same or better than it was with HC.
To clarify, those of you who are having reboots, are you all seeing all cores on and maxed out all the time?

9.4.2.11
Its the latest one available on ICS.
On the contrary...ever since my tfp decided to keep all cores online and minimum 425mhz speed, I haven't had any lockups or reboots.
But my battery life sucks and my benchmark scores are Still horrible.
The disk I/0 speed is horrendous (as stated in the bonnie++ benchmark thread)

it's not an argument, I clearly state, that this is to "ME" on "MY" phone,
also, I'm not trying to trick my benchmarking app, what I've seen over 28 weeks is a clear indication, to "ME" on "MY" phone , that ui is smoother and faster on higher benchmark scores, simple as that
Well duh, having an overclocked CPU results in higher benchmarks because the phone can complete things faster. This translates to a smoother UI.
The problem is that benchmarks are affected by so many things that might not reflect accurately the performance of the phone. And comparing different phones is useless because of skins and different hardware performing better in tests but worse in real life.
Faster CPU = higher benchmarks and smoother UI. That doesn't mean that higher benchmarks = smoother UI.

Anybody who knows anything about overclocking knows to make sure it's stable..
Seriously, if you think your high quadrants means your phone outperforms the leaked scores of a quad core Tegra 3 phone by almost double, then you're in denial.
Let me put this in words you can understand.
Faster clock speed = faster graphics and calculations.
Faster clock speed = higher benches.
Higher benches != better performance. They're just linked.
Sure, if you're pulling over 4000 in quadrant, your device is performing quite well. But that doesn't make your Evo 3D a super phone twice as good as the rest of ours.
There are so many factors involved that simply saying "my quads are high, and that indicates performance" is ignorant and naive. Once you can explain to me how your phone "performs" better than a quad core device, then maybe I'll spare your thoughts my time.

1. Benchmarks mean little next to actual experience
2. Score from just the 2D section in multiple runs with each driver would've been much better, all those other sections can and will vary and affect the overall score

I recognize you're trying to be funny...
Just.... for the record... the post in the OP state "significant boost" in scores when in reality, there aren't.
That's all I was saying. Just trying to contribute to the community
;-)
I guess the question is whether it feels any different. The post also states that UI rendering seems smoother, but of course this is impossible to truly measure.

believe me it felt alot smoother with youtube and stuff like that with the 2d rendering on without the adreno update.
i am now tryin to figure out how to uninstall the update??? maybe someone can help?
i wonder if i just redo the ruu?

Restore your back up...
so it got worse when i installed his patch so i made my own with the latest drivers from the adreno site linked here https://developer.qualcomm.com/mobi...phics-optimization-adreno/tools-and-resources
this helps my phone out alot and im not sure if the latest leak did have these installed.. im not sure how to check but it works killer.
let me kno your results. thank you.
But there are more questions: Is it possible the updated drivers carry the workload on less power consumption? If there isn't a measurable difference, does it FEEL any different?
I suppose I needed an excuse to nandroid today anyway. I'll probably just try it out.
The adreno update is for battery saver. Consumes less
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
here is my score after installed the patch i made with the newest drivers instead of gjcamp's patch.
and im seeing a huge increase actually all around actually.

could you verify where you got that information from?
I already tested this on BAMF 2.1. Anything updated past that has these already in place.

Actually, it does help. That is one thing I did notice.

do you have 2d rendering turned on? are you using the stock kernel? what release?

hmm i guess i didnt notice sense i only updated his patch to see my scores, maybe since the scores were lower to save battery all around?
well i made the patch to go back so ill flash his and see how battery goes. but sense this leak is already battery conservant i might like the speed and feel without his adreno update. we will see.

stock kernel no cpu apps.... and 2d redering is on sorry for not stating that. also on the latest ics leak firmware.
im loving the feel of my phone right now. best its ever been to be honest.
i highly doubt this will work for the rezound as the updated driver is for the s2 series of chips while the rezound uses the msm 8660 which is s3 the difference being the s2 running off arm7 architecture and the s3 running off arm 8. here is a link to qualcomms current cpu line and the series and architecture: qualcomm.com/chipsets/snapdragon

thats what i was thinking, he stated that it will work with all armv7 chips. hmm
so i went to the website and made a patch back... because i didnt make a backup.

ARM8?
I think you're a little confused. The Rezound's MSM8660 chip is ARMv7.
Efficiency increased from 5223 to 6402. I'm not mad about that at all.
