Did anyone hear about this? Apparently the iPhone 5 beat the nexus 7 and gs3 in benchmarks
These were the scores
IPhone : 1601
Nexus 7 : 1591
Samsung galaxy s3 : 1560
I don't put much emphasis on benchmarks because I know the scores really don't tell u anything compared to actually using the phone for performance. However, I do think the only reason why iPhone won here is because the OS doesn't do very much multitasking so it may be a bit faster in that regard
Any thoughts?

Benchmarks aren't meant to be compared between different OS's. The iPhone has a lower screen resolution, an OS that works completely different than Android and FSM knows what else Apple did with it's internals.

You're not listening. Results between devices with different screen resolutions aren't comparable. The iPhone has 294400 less pixels in it's screen, so it uses less processing power to display images for the test. Ergo the tests aren't comparable.
As you said yourself in the OP, benchmarks don't mean anything at all, to be honest.
The only true way of noticing the difference between devices is to own the devices and using them. No benchmark ever can create a score based on pure usability.
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
The S3 score is wrong. S3 scored 1751 (i posted the link in my previous post).

yeah apparently that benchmark score is with jellybean already running on the S3. Says so in the link that i provided as well.
"063_XOBX" look man, I really don't care about the benchmark scores; I just want to know what people think of this ludicrous article. I was reading the comments and its absurd. Some people really do care about these numbers. IMO, all this article and apple have in common is the number. the price for the iPhone 5 lol
Yeah, but then if you OC that iPhone 5, install a custom iOS build, tweaks, etc.... oh, ****. That's Android. My bad.
Ooooh right so comparing benchmarks of two devices using different os platforms. This is sick they should just take iPhone off benchmarking ,it's os uses less resources and it still has a small screen, soo WTF are they saying

Reliable ones? Benchmarks only test a specific workload.. You aren't testing how fast applications run, you are testing how fast the benchmark runs. There doesn't have to be a direct correlation

If there had been no correlation then benchmarks wouldn't have been used at all, that's not accurate.
You can easily get over 3000 with an ext2 loopback ontop of ext4 plus an overclock. But that's beside the point.
What matters is how it feels and performs day to day, that's more personal opinion. Quadrant is virtually useless IMO.
If you want a "true" quadrant score for what the Galaxy S is capable of without cheating/overclocking, you're probably looking at between 1600-1800 depending on ROM and filesystem.

I never said there wasn't. But, benchmarks are useless unless you actually know what you are testing..
Case in point, you have 1 program that does lots of writing (barely any reading), and a benchmark program.
If you increase reading speed by 6%, but decrease writing speed by 5%, a benchmark which treats reading and writing equally will give you a better score. Unfortunately, your app will be slower though. Of course, an increase in both will lead to a faster score, but so can other circumstances.
Most benchmarks aren't useless to everyone. Only to MOST users. Developers on the other hand who understand the benchmark and what they are optimising for, maybe would find them more useful..
In-game benchmarks although are useful out of the box, because they test performance of a specific workload/benchmarks. Every time someone optimises their phone to run a generic benchmark though, a kitten dies.
So i have been running side by side tests against an at&t skyrocket.
On wifi off he same wifi router the skyrocket gets speeds up to 20k where the note gets a little over 5k. I have tried on a number of routers and get the same results.
On non LTE networks the skyrocket gets on average DOUBLE the speed.
Quadrant shows my note at 3900 and the SR at 2600. Which is in line with what I have seen on the web. Unconnected to the above, but I wanted to see if I have a dud note. I don't.
Anyone know why? Does the skyrocket have a newer or different radio chip?
Anyway, I am prepared to bet that the at&t note will be faster than the international one we currently have.

The Note doesn't have LTE (the korean Note has). It has HSDPA (21 Mbps). Why the Wifi is slower than on your Skyrocket is another question. I have no idea.

Again... there's low correlation between those synthetic app scores and real world speed performances of the phones.
I've done side by side tests of Note and Skyrocket. Speedtests bear out exactly what your saying. But... Ive Then immediately downloaded say desktop gizmodo.com site simultaneously and Note actually downloads faster half the time.

Hey fellow Nexus 4 owners, I heard a lot of rumors that the "Nexus 4 uses left-over parts" from the Optimus G. To that end, I want to find out the general quality of our CPUs.
Basically, when Qualcomm makes the APQ8064 chip that you see in our Nexus 4, there are 4 different "types" based on how it meets their quality standards. These are Slow, Nominal, Fast, and Faster. The main difference IIRC between these types is how stable each can handle undervolting. CPUs that are "Fast" for example come pre-configured at a lower nominal voltage than a "Nominal" type CPU, and more so than a "Slow" type. (Does this account for how some people's phones generate less heat? Maybe, maybe not. IIRC, there's like only a -100mV difference between Faster and Slow out of the box, however Faster CPUs should be able to handle lower voltages than Slow-type.)
To find out what binned CPU you have, I recommend the following:
YOU MUST BE ROOTED!
1) Install Terminal Emulator
2) Reboot your phone
3) Open Terminal Emulator, and type:
Code:
su
dmesg | grep PVS
A line should be outputted that tells you what type you have.
For example, mine is NOMINAL. http://i.imgur.com/MUXrs.png
Please post your results in the following poll! (This poll began on /r/Nexus4, so rather than recreating the poll using XDA's system, I'm hoping to just get more results from here.)

The CPU doesn't have anything to do with LG using leftover parts or not. It's Qualcomm that does the binning, not LG.

Hello.
First of all, I know we have a Gaming thread, but I think that's about general gaming on Nexus 4, recommendations, and techniques.
This thread is about only Temple Run 2. This game has clocked 5M+ downloads in first week so I think we should have one.
post your high score: with screenshot
I'll try to keep the first post updated with the username and score + screenshot of the number one player.
Let's keep it fun and game. Eh? No cheat codes please.
When you get your high score in the hall of fame you instantaneously have the bragging rights to show to your friends.
@moderators: I was not sure if this should be in Themes & Apps, so I posted it here because IMO its not an app I'm introducing so it shouldn't go there. Feel free to move it of you will

As im still waiting on my N4 I havent played this on android yet so I can not submit a high score. However I have played both the first and second on iOS and while enjoying the first one, the second is horrible and lagging like no other game I have ever played on iOS. I'm hoping that on android it will run much smoother. To put into perspective, my high score on the first one was ~18 mil, in TR2 I think I may have been able to break 1mil only once.

You need 1 million total distance and 500k total coins before you can even get to level 9. And that takes ages
