http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1977708 and http://www.glbenchmark.com/phonedeta...tgroup=overall (AT's results apparently) an update from AT would be nice to see what issue was seemed to be the problem and how it was resolved. I'm thinking bad unit or software update. I'd take the AT "preview" with a grain of salt.

We shall see, but that is a massive improvement.

Ironic: CNET's page requests flash support to listen to an audio file from a phone that doesn't support flash.

Encouraging, but those results are much less interesting to me. What concerns me the most are web browsing performance and battery life.

Plus I still have to wonder about the thermal throttling comment that Anand made in the preview. It doesn't help to have great performance potential if that performance decreases once the phone warms up.

I honestly don't believe the phone did throttle, it was just speculation after all. I'm sure since the GPU performance improved by so much, I'd be surprised if some of the more software or CPU related tasks didn't improve by a large margin as well.

All we can do is wait I guess.

brian confirmed that the improved results were from running the phone in his freezer. it is indeed thermal throttling. he seems to think it is throttling at too low of a temperature though.

Full review should clarify, hopefully it's out by Tuesday.

Honestly, by this point LG should have stepped in and told them that they must have a defective unit if AT's results are far off from their own internals marks. It's certainly possible that the review unit that AT received is defective in some way that it's throttling so aggressively, but LG should be working with them to rectify the situation.
