Ultimately - I think not?
If the phone feels quick, and it runs your programes then i would not worry about benchmarking... But if it feels slow and sluggish, then i would try out one of the many benchmarking programes out there, and see if there truely is a problem...
I have tryed it a cauple of times and found that my note ran perfectly well, and that it was I whos was mistaken..

They are good tools to tweak your phone as long as you know what look for but of course one single benchmsrk cannot tell the whole story so I use a combination of benchmarks and applications that i am familiar with when evaluating rom/kernels or overclocking settings.

It surely does make no difference if you score high or low. What matters is that you should be satisfied with ur phones performance.

what i really noticed is that the memory and I/O scores are kernel specific and the more scores you have the more fast the operations on ur phone becomes..
i personaly have achieved highest scores of I/O using notecore /hydracore
This one is really not important. Haha.
Leave this app eversince I bought my notes.
As long as smooth, good battery life, what else u need?
U win nothing even if ur benchmark higher from others.

Antutu benchmarks score gets reduced after installing the latest update from Sony.
i have run the benchmark soon after unboxing the device.. and it gave me a score of 20707..
and there was an update from Sony which after installing for some reason locks the processor speed when its heated up.. when i run the benchmarks now it gives me a score of 16080 with a processor speed of 1.2 Ghz while the processors actual speed is 1.5 Ghz.
even i did a factory reset and tried running the benchmarks.. but still the same results in 16k-17 window..
is any one else facing this issue after installing the update
Isn't it affected by the numbers if apps you have on your phone? And it's always better to do a restart and run the bench mark right after before running any other apps.
And btw, those numbers means nothing. Don't get hooked onto those apps, it doesn't mean your phone is any slower than others.

Yes, those are just numbers .. but still i was puzzled if it was happening after installing the update.... otherwise the phone is fine. except for the known heating problem :cyclops:

But the fact that Antutu is showing he has a 1.2 Ghz processor, for me is a reason to worry. Even if the numbers are lower, it should show 1.5Ghz.
So, maybe there is some overheating problem on his phone.
Antutu has recently been updated - refer the comments on the Play Store. Seems other people with different phones getting high scores before the update and then lower scores post update.
I think this is the solution to the problem...... Mind you I just ran Antutu and got 20656

When the XZ heats up, the processor throttles down. That's why it shows you the 1.2Ghz.

AnTuTu is kinda generalization of hardware accessibility and performance
So i think it almost depend on Kernel, after that update all kernels updated to Feb. kernel (a kernel with different date)
and Sony said will update xperia Z to 4.2.2 with 3.6 (*nix) kernel
and it can increase performance and higher AnTuTu benchmark
:good:

As far as I am concerned, I think these are all crap in reality. Because you can run these benchmarks over and over again and keep getting different results, even after disabling things like autosync etc.
In theory the phone should run benchmarks faster when it is colder, but when I ran these tests they were much worse.
My phone didn't change much after updates for bench mark scores.
Phones do have a thermo throttling of the CPU to stay within the SAFE temperature ranges, so the 1.2GHz will most likely have something to do with this.

Yes, indeed the benchmark programs depend on many factors.. i had factory restored the Rom from Sony Pc companion, and again the first time i run, it shows me 20k number.. and then it gradually decreases when i run again. i wonder if its the same with other phones which have the same processor.

Well ran it just after you mentioned this got 18000, next run 20170 and nothing really can have changed between those runs, and that is a significant difference

does it show the same processor speed in two runs?
so your e-p***s just got smaller after update ?
Jealous cuz u don't have one. !

Surely did, phone is always really fast, so I do not believe these benchmarks. Maybe I was running on just 3 cylinders (cores)
In other words, don't trust benchmarks

partly true.. but it the difference is way too much with others scores then points to a problem in the device...

Don't think so, every device I have used has done the same thing, find it impossible to believe that it is a problem device. The problem is most likely to do with the way that a phone operates, if the memory does a garbage collection event while you are doing a test, is going to throw a ridiculous result

Is this normal, when I made a quadrant benchmark stock 9.1.a.1.140 got 6k points. The CyanogenMod stable 10.1 got 3k points?
Any explain? Maybe bad GPU drivers?
Or maybe because benchmark tests don't really mean anything

You think I will not lose performance? At the moment I do not have any "super perfrmance" game to test it.
No, I think benchmark tests are not really that accurate and should not be used to compare one ROM against another, even on the same phone.
OK thank you for help.I will Test gta vc later
Gaming in particular is very important. FPS and heating for intensive high graphics games like Vainglory.
Thanks in advance
Here's a couple of benchmarks that I just ran. :good:
I get mine on Monday and will run pcmark work 2.0 and compare it to my z3+

My god, this is a beast.
Please run more benchmarks to show frames per second. I am interested to switch.

Sorry. These are honestly the only benchmark apps I know of to run. If you know of any other benchmark apps that show fps, let me know and I'll be happy to run them for you and share the results. :good:

Alright. Found some benchmarks with FPS in the results and ran them. Here ya go!
Just think how well this will run with nougat and vulkan API. Can anyone do a PCmark work etc benchmark here is my z3+ running stick but custom kernel tweaked. Lower score is my daily use and high score is everything put on performance. Picking up the 3T later on today cannot wait.
