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

I got 45.6 on my first run.. stock rom.
Seems the sgs2 is ruling the roost on this benchmark

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.

Hello,
im a new Galaxy S2 (international version) owner.
I remember quadrant reporting 1 cpu on the stock os (2.3.4) aswell, but didnt try other apps.
Rooted, then updated my device to Android 4.0.3 (ICS ressurection remix v9.6) using the safest methods avalible today (runme.bat + flash cwm via odin + flash rom via cwm)
The ROM includes this kernel: i9100XXLPH
The following applications are now reporting 1 cpu core:
Quadrant
CpuSpy
Elixir 2
Linpack
native "top" utilily, via a terminal emulator
native /proc/cpuinfo
Linpack scores 70+ MFLOPS at 1.2Ghz (multi-thread)
I can hit 4000k points on Quadrant Standard Edition aswell
Is this normal? Im confused. It's the dualcore exynos, but everything reports 1 core.
Anyone? Great forums. Cant post to real threads and here this thread just dies?
Your life must be so awesome when the biggest problem is that your benchmark programs are reporting one core.
Mine correctly reports two, when it's using enough CPU to turn it on.
Not that I ever noticed a performance difference even on GB if I forced one core offline.
Please don't make the exact same thread in two sections of the board. That won't endear you to anyone on here.
The 2nd core pops online when needed, so won't show all the time, that's normal.

I have experienced some pretty choppy graphics when playing NFS Most Wanted with my i9300. The game stutters from time to time and by the looks of it it seems rendered at 20-22 FPS (not terribly laggy, but it's not good below 24).
So I decided to port NFS Most Wanted from my GS3 to my GS1 (i9000), which was probably incompatible from the market because of the "old" hardware. To my surprise, the game was rendered at a steady 40+ FPS with only the occasional stutter when 3+ cops are after me and 5 cars are on display. This, on a 1.14 Ghz Exynos Single core processor with a PowerVR SGX 540 card running at 200 Mhz.
Can someone tell me what is the reason behind this? Is this a Mali (ARM) specific problem? A Mali 400 running at 533 Mhz with the Exynos Quad should be able to smoke the SGX 540 running at 200 Mhz. Yes the SGX is powering a WVGA display I know, but with over twice the clock rate I don't see why the Mali should perform worse!
Experienced the same. I thought it was just a laggy game but I tried it on an Xperia Ion and was suprised that it turned out smoother than the SIII
works fine here. stock unrooted atm. i'm guessing over 40fps.

Ion has the Adreno 220 if i recall correctly? It should be more or less equal to Mali, but a Mali at that clock rate should be faster. Both the Ion and Sgs3 render 720p displays so its a fair fight there.

I assume you are sticking with the stock clock rates as well (1.4 GHz CPU, 440 MHz GPU)? Are you on 4.1.2 or 4.1.1? I have tries both ELL5 4.1.2 and CM10.1 and they both produce similar results, but CM was slightly worse.

I've using 1.7GHz for a few days on pegasusq governor but was wondering how much CPU life is affected each clock interval.
My guess is the S3 is underclocked at 1.4 because the Note 2 uses the same Exynos 4412 SoC @ 1.6.
By logic 1.7 let alone 1.8GHz isn't overkill, provided a stable voltage: would I be right thinking this?

I heard the Note 2 uses Version 2 of the Exynos 4412 SoC, the S3 uses version 1. So there is a difference between them

It helps CM10.1 run smoother when needed in my experience. Battery life hasn't taken a noticeable hit. 4-5 screen on.

if you overclock s2 gpu would it be on par with s3 gaming performence? or is quad core s3 better than dual core s2 when it comes to high end games. cause i seen asphalt 8 lag on s3 while it didnt on s2
Of course quad core is better.. it lags maybe because the person playing has app running in the background.

long story short no, the main problem is on thermal issue and games optimization
when you talking about games, it's not about the processor. It's about the gpu and the screen resolution,the overclocked mali on s3 doesnt have enough muscle to drive the 720p screen(only applied to heavy effect gameloft games). Some new games is optimized for S3 tough, like Horn for example, Its lag on S2 but not on S3.
in term on gaming , i only see note 3 as a worthy upgrade from S2

search gfxbench
on android there are many things to consider if you want to play high end games.
the screen resolusion
the rom
the kernel
the game developer optimization
for example gta 3 is more smooth on tegra 3 than adreno 320,because the game is more optimized on tegra

Overclocked? S3 has 2 more GPU cores vs S2's Mali ,not overclocked alone.
Gaming is not a problem on my s3 at least ,GPU drivers are continuously being updated by Samsung I9300XXUGMK6 for example has the latest driver.

logic?
mali 400 have max 4 core ,if S3 have more 2 cores than mali 400 on S2 then you can say is mali 400 mp6, is there mali 400 mp6? no , go email arm mr smartass
S3 mali 400 gpu MP4 is the same as S2 only overclocked
it's faster because it's overclocked and better 32nm process

Thanks for the heads up.
I had read somewhere that 4210 has mali400mp2.
So it looks like the newer process gives the 4412 enough headroom for a higher clocked GPU (and maybe some micro architectural improvements?)

But still the onscreen performance of S3 is more than S2 in gfx benchmark ,which certainly proves that the mali400 in S3 does better than the one in S2 even though it has to push 2.4 times the pixels.

You can overclock s2 like s3 to 440mhz ,but it won't yield same results due to thermal/power constraints (45nm vs 32nm)
Also mali400(in s3) can be over clocked to 700mhz stably which shows that there is a lot of headroom left in s3.
Everything aside,my point is S3 scores more than S2 in on screen Gfxbench which does prove that S3 does better than S2 in reality.

it may be better in benchmark, but the fill rate still not enough for the 720p screen,especially in real life case.
maybe you can overclock the gpu to 533mhz, play asphalt 8 in max setting and share the fps perfomance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im_w-EZifjU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LorZHr9MErk
Looking at the date it was posted (that video) that s3 must have been running old 4.1 firmware.
performance has increased by ~30% in GPU benchmarks and
maybe even more in real gaming from 4.2 onwards (which have the latest Mali drivers).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124093
I am done with gaming right now but from my experience ,with latest Mali drivers asphalt 8 was smooth(Maxed out) except for one stage which was I think was the Tokyo race where fps averaged about 20fps (S2 lagged in that stage too).
And rip tide GP2 was smooth throughout with no lag and fps averaged around 52 (used fps meter from play store )
Gaming was a pain before 4.2 ,but right now it isn't for the most part(CPU throttling down to 800mhz )
No other game in my memory lagged usually I keep CPU at 1300mhz and with some undervolting (to decrease throttling )
and GPU at 350mhz (that's right Riptide GP2 was smooth at the frequency) but for asphalt 8 440-533mhz and maybe 700mhz when I come across a game which really lags.(Again 700mhz is stable ,no crashes or instability only battery drains pretty fast.)
Actually fillrate has been the strong part for Mali 400 gpu.
