Benchmarks - Curiosity Posts - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Anyone post some benchmarks! I personally don't hold a lot of stock in benchmarks but am curious about what other folks are getting... To me, this seems rather low but I'd like to see some others to compare...

Not much better here, but like you said I don't hold much stock in benchmarks. Especially something like geekbench..

Unless it's total bias from the application. Should we not be rolling with the results? Shouldn't they be higher? Fastest chip available currently... Other specs... Just seems low...

Too much can influence the results of benchmarks, like a random background app using up CPU cycles. Geekbench also isn't that reliable IMO anyway, they test difference cpus differently which make it look like the iPhones are as fast as laptops with core i7 processors which couldn't be farther from the truth.

I have the essential phone and the 2xl and this is what I got

Interesting stuff... And the comment made about Geekbench and Apple products is so true.. their benchmarks look so fake at times...

Yeah.. Unless Apple has the fastest chips on the planet.. these scores are a bit, what's the word?
Single core score for iOS and Android.. Top 3 results..

Why are my Quadrant tests getting around 1400??

Any idea? Most reviews i saw for the GNex shows it getting 1700-2000+.
Meaningless or not, i wanna know why it's so much less.
Wtf

I checked it right when I got the phone for the hell of it and got around the same number. The only thing I care about is if it will lag with daily use. If it doesn't I don't care if it has half a core and 1 byte of ram.
Quadrant scores are meaningless and don't give any indication of how the phone performs in real world use.
My old Galaxy S2 scored 4000+ in quadrant but does it feel 3 times faster than my Nexus definitely no!
Again, I don't care about what the test actually means but why are our scores so much lower on the same device compared to the reviews show? What is different and why? It leads me to believe that something is wrong.
I freaked too, but I think its bs. If you install System Monitor you can watch both CPU cores in action. Also, other bench tests clearly show that you're getting dual core performance. I think Quadrant will need an update.

I get around 1400+ as well in quadrant and I don't think there is anything wrong as when I first got my GS2 my scores where lower than what was seen online from reviewers as well.
Don't forget they probably had a phone with no extra apps on it or just the bare minimum which could also affect the scores.

I got a 1700 reading from quadrant. I don't know if quadrant takes advantage of the dualcore cpu?

I think it doesn't and it needs a desperate update anyway to fully support ICS.
Someone correct me if I am wrong about quadrant standard not seeing both cores?
It's the higher resolution mainly.

[Q] Low Benchmark Scores

My benchmark scores are horrible. My girlfriends mytouch 4g slide continually scores better. Just doesnt seem right for this flagship phone. Anybody else?
Benchmarks means nothing.
If you're using Quadrant Standard, you're basing it off a benchmark designed for single core CPUs and hasn't been updated for months. Not to mention, it is not optimized for ICS or multi-core CPUs.

Try using,
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbnR1dHUuQUJlbmNoTWFyayJd
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5jZmJlbmNoIl0.
Those benchmarks are optimized for multi-core devices. Unsure about ICS but it should provide a better comparison. And benchmarks don't mean anything (once again!)
Not really sure why you thanked him because he didn't offer any credibility towards answering your question, but ok -_-
Hi,
What benchmarks?
In what conditions (i mean if you run benchs in charge+10 benchs the one after the other->overheating->thermal protection->decrease cpu freq->lowers score/very low RAM/rogue/etc...)?
Rom?
Kernel?
Scores (especially in what benchs)?
And the most important is that your phone works perfectly?
Indeed,the benchs are sometimes subjective...
I agree Quadrant is out of age
The must is Antutu (bench "multiple things"),Cf Bench also but sometimes very inaccurate...,only certain benchs testing the cpu,others only the gpu (fps 2d/3d for example)and the other yet another cpu + gpu...
Screenshot of your benchs?
Much more detail would be welcome

Maybe he discovered a different benchmark tool which favored him more after my comment
Thank you for compensation ;-)

Low benchmark scores after flashing faux007u...

On the stock kernal with the ViperX rom.
I got 12500.
Now with faux kernal I get like 9000.
Why?
I have a MUCH lower CPU score in benchmarks...
Geez you already asked this, why another identical thread? Benchmark means nothing, case closed.

yeah what is everyones obsession with benchmarks its just a number..
Benchmarks just a number? Tell that to people who drive race cars.
0-60 in 3 seconds is still better performance than 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. If both cars have the same engine, same gearing and weigh the same, then something else must determine why one is slower than the other.
Same way with our phones. Benchmark tests, especially AnTuTu, do offer insights into the performance of our machines. So, instead of giving the snarky answer that 'benchmarks don't matter', just say you have no idea or don't post at all.
yes maybe numbers are more applicable to cars. but this is a mobile phone forum not a car forum.....
the benchmarks mean sod all. the actual experience of using the phone is what matters.
benchmarks can vary from the slightest differences in environment, so yeah it is just a number, and will change for almost anything..

Really? A Mobile Phone Forum? How did I miss that part??
Sure experience matters, but to a lot of people, so do numbers. And 3000 points would make a difference, both numerically and perceptually.
I think this thread should be closed and open a new one talking about 10b5.

well seeing as the benchmarks can change literally from one minute to the next, and the fact they aren't that consistent, that essentially proves that the numbers don't mean as much as everyone makes out.
And therefore instead of basing how good your phone is operating on benchmark scores, just judge it on the actual performance of flicking through screens, loading apps , playing games etc etc - if there isn't a problem there, which i bet in the OPs case, there isn't any general performance issues, just a lower score. if there isn't any actual performance issues, then what the hell is the problem?
Hold on everyone. Small fluctuations in benchmark scores are nothing but a consistent drop of 25% is more meaningful, especially if all that changed was the kernel.
Why does everyone on here seem to just repeat what they read last week only with attitude added and regardless of factors such as severity.
To the OP... might be an idea to go back to stock and run several benchmarks to get a good overall picture. Note all the different scores for different tests (CPU, GPU, memory etc). Flash this kernel again and run several benchmarks. See which tests are affected and report your findings to Faux.

Numbers shouldn't be inconsistent. My scores fall within 0.5-1% of each other every time I run them.
Certain ROMs can have a major impact on performance. Just like going to 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1 made a huge positive performance difference. Guess what, you could actually see that difference with 'useless' benchmark tests too.
Op,
Did you cry? Did your heart feel broken? I've heard benchmark scores are everything, they define smartphones these days.

[Q] KYRILLOSv3 - slower

Ive tried KYRILLOSv3 which works no problem but the Antu Benchmark gave me a rating of 6039 which was 5% slower than KYRILLOSv2 has anyone else noticed this.
I got an improvment of about 100 compared to v2. However, don't trust only benchmarks. Its more important how it feels to you. And for me its feeling smoother
you too believe in antutu.
antutu test just for fun

Its not a matter of believing antutu but people produce these tools to compare devices on an un-biased way and the score is lower.

High benchmark, what set up?

I eventually ran a benchmark on my CarbonROM install on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus, clocked at a max of 1.6
But, I saw that my device compared to others is just super super low, I don't have the numbers on me as I don't have my phone, but if you're one of those people who have a high benchmark score, what's your setup?
I know it's said that benchmarks aren't important, but they at least have to mean something with performance.
So, what are you running?
Try flashing franco.Kernel. Makes a huge difference!
Before franco: 2204
After franco: 2932 (Quadrant Standard)
ROM: PACman ROM, 1.2 GHz
Seriously, there should be a thread stickied for the bench freaks, all in the same place. *sigh*

See, the thing is, benchmarks really do mean nothing. Benchmarks don't affect how well your device performs. If it runs fast, it runs fast-- you don't need the benchmark to know that.

Yeah. Because being able to crunch 110,000,000 triangles vs 90,000,000 has real world implications.
Yay! It's been a while since we've had a thread to remind us how useless benchmarks are and offer us all an opportunity to debate about it, yet again.:good:
I make my words what Chainfire said, but globaly.
If you trust benchmark results, you'll know that running naked in the garden for 5mins will affects performance by 20%
Neat, alright.
So absolutely nothing?
That really doesn't make any sense to me. Those 90,000,000 triangles being processed will at least show me how well it will do in a game, to a degree, right?
Not in any way you could actually notice. That was also an extreme hyperbole as far as differences go. To be totally honest, the only real value of benchmarks is stress testing an OC but even then there are better ways.

Well alright, thanks for your insight. I've been in the android game for awhile but I don't know a lot of these things.
