Samsung Fascinate, JT's 11/10 test non-voodoo kernel, JT's SuperClean ROM = 905

Super low because I'm still on 2.1 and I'm not lagfixed. Hopefully I'll get 2.2 soon enough.

I dislike Quadrant scores. A little "lag fix" magically doubles scores, but I promise it is not doubling performance. Does it help? Yes. Does it skew quandrant? Very much so. I have a Samsung Epic which is extremelly smooth but wont out score a lot of other phones.

Just to make a point one of the Epic Dev's went and make a "fix" which boosted us to well over 2K scores but never released it because it really had no positive impact on the overall performance of the phone. The Epic can't use the lag fix because the Epic has a 512MB what they call a "OneNAND" which is very fast and prevents us from having much lag in the first place. The part that sucks is Samsung's "rfs" file system they use. I hate it, the devs hate it lol. Now if I can just get 2.2 I'd be happy. We have the beta but its buggy as hell.

The Voodoo lagfix that's out gives much more realistic numbers, I got around 1900 with my fascinate at 1.2GHz and the voodoo lagfix. It replaces the filesystem completely so it gives much better realworld results as well. I always felt like no matter what lagfix I used though I still had a little annoying lag on galaxy s phones.

Now I have a G2 Oc'ed to 1.5GHz and I get 2500 in quadrant lol, I really like this phone it's the smoothest android phone I've used and that is probably largely due to having stock android. I also have a mytouch 4G and an EVO right now, I get 1850 with the mytouch stock and around 1750 with the EVO using calkuin's ROM and overclocked to 1.2GHz.

Score will not go up much once you get 2.2. Expect about 900 on stock 2.2.

I have a hard time believing this, sorry. Look at Nexus One vs Nexus One 2.2 on the screenshot posted above. Every other phone experienced a jump just like that going from 2.1 to 2.2

Haha. Well don't get your hopes up. I've tested with stock 2.1 and 2.2 and what I said is true. You'll get score in the 900s. I'm certain on that.

Hmm.. I wonder if that has to do with their file system. I won't be running stock 2.2 anyway, I'll slap on a custom rom. As long as it is fast I don't care about benchmarks.

A big part of it is the processor, the snapdragon has much better floating point performance I think, and benefits a lot more in the benchmarks because of JIT. If you look at the droid 2 and droid x they did not have a huge jump with 2.2 either for the same reason. I can't give a great explanation of it but that's why the nexus one/evo and other snapdragon phones see a huge increase in 2.2 as compared to the droid x or galaxy s phones.
