I ran Quadrant benches on my S4 and Note 3

[Oyeve]

So, I ran the quadrant benchmark on my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3.

The S4 got 11652
The Note 3 got 22041

The note 3 scored twice as fast as the S4 but when I was actually running simultaneously both took exactly as long to run and the test looked the same. Is this what people are bitching about saying sammy has inflated benchmark scores? I find this test ridiculous as the note 3 is in no way twice as fast as my S4, or is it?

I dont care about benchmarks at all, I just find these results super inflated.

Benchmark runtime isn't necessarily tied to how fast your phone is...

In case you still don't understand:

Let's say we have a benchmark designed to run for 30 seconds where it tries to do as much work as possible in that time. The slowest phone will still take 30 seconds to complete the test but may not even complete a single unit of work whereas the fastest phone could complete 100 units.




The scores are inflated (which is old news btw, so posting it doesn't make you clever) but it's not proven by your "evidence".

Quadrant is a bad benchmark because small differences can make gigantic shifts in score for no real reason.

Also, the "inflated" score was just basically the phones overclocking themselves a tad when a benchmark is run. It doesn't double benchmark scores or anything.
