Why do we get different AnTuTu result?

[no_spam_for_me]

First, I found no answer, but maybe we will find together an answer.

I use Goggle to find some different AnTuTu result with this search 'antutu s802' ...

!!! the shown AnTuTu result is for M802 @ Onda V975M (Score 30221) !!!

"I’ve installed AnTuTu from Google Play (Version 4.3.3) and the score I got was 22,603, which will be disappointing if you’ve read GeekBuying blog post showing a score of 30,000. I’ve been told I’m not the only one to get this score with this firmware, and the previous firmware was different. The factory tried with Antutu 4.4.1 and got 28,000 to 30,000. I’m not sure whether it’s a problem with Antutu (CPU in test is reported as 4x core @ 1104 MHz, instead of 1992 MHz on GeekBuying blog), or if it is an issue with the firmware itself."
+ " I received today this box (not tronsmart branded). After 30 mins I’m pretty amazed… KitKat works fine, antutu score 31000…."

"Beelink M8 ... We ran AnTuTu Benchmark 4.0 on it and the result was around 30000 points... As always, we ran AnTuTu more than one time and got different results. Probably the best way is run it 2-3 minutes after power on the unit..."

Its a big gap between those 2 devices."

(BTW: "Amlogic S805 - Apr 2014 - Cost-down version of S802. Quad-core ARM A5 CPU. Quad-core Mali-450 GPU" ????)

--------------------------------------------------------------

Here at the board we can find may different Antutu score.
One the one hand we find most between ~23k till ~27k (depends on @1.6GHz or manually set to @1.9GHz) OR at the other hand we will find >30k...

So, what's wrong with this device or SoC????

The creasiest think I found, was:

ok, the new firmwares came out for the s82 and the s89. i installed the s89 elite firmware to my Mbox s82 and it ran fine but only got a antutu score of 23k, i check the cpu was only at 1.6ghz. next i installed the s82 firmware and my antutu score is 30k+, check the cpu and i see 1992mhz.

AND Batfink32 try to reproduce it at his s89 elite, but get the same bad result (@1.6GHz) with the S82 rom...
BUT maybe it is because of the not update of the bootloader...




BTW: because of the first Benchmark by Eric at the first link at the M802 with ~30K I'm not sure, it is really a problem of "The kernel is optimized for a tablet and this is why the Antutu scored are low" ????

A friend of mine bought the same Vega s89 standard from the same vendor on Ali express just a week apart. We both have finless ROM 1.2 flashed . He scores approx 23400 I score 32400 in antutu . Same apps on both boxes my CPU going all the way to 1992 . His must have the limited 1600 CPU ?

THX, interesting!
At the moment nobody knows something about a different SoC, only speculation about looks at kernel, but this test gives me not a good feeling...
Would you like to use CPU-Z at both devices to see maybe you get different infomation (but I don't think so)?
And if you are able to find a download for 'SetCPU' (SetCPU_For_Root_Users_3.1.2.apk) maybe you can find something different...

[saor11]

Will look into it and report back asap

PS:
And are you use the same screen settings (e.g. 1080p/50Hz)?

[saor11]

No 720/50hz

No, I mean you both use the same settings... or do you mean, you both use different screen settings? If yes, which setting with which AnTuTu result?

[saor11]

Settings were the same tested on same screen sorry!

THX, thats really interesting!
Same test environment ...

[Batfink32]

Will Antutu scores be higher if you use a lower resolution? Less pixels to push therefor less CPU/GPU usage.

Maybe... If you what, check it out...
BUT saor11 shows us, same screen-setting at same test environment (TV, Standard-Box(2G/16G)) with same rom have different scores!!!

I can only imagine its quality of the chips then. Qualcomm and the big manufacturers "bin" some of their chips and use them for lower end devices because of microscopic differences in their manufacturing process.The difference causes them to be less stable/have worse performance. Maybe that's what were seeing here.

I think so too... maybe amlogic have a problem a there SoC production (maybe because of first bulk of the S802 or something like this)??? But if this is true, it is really worth!

EDIT:
BUT if it is so, why get pincussion different results with different roms from different brands?????????? (Maybe a flashing problem or so on????????)

Why do we get different AnTuTu result?

Just got an S82 Elite, should have been standard but will sort that out with the seller!
Out the box I flashed the latest ROM from BeeLink using the USB tool as per the Geekbuying guide. Installed and ran Antutu and have 31419

Should say this is attached to an old Plasma at the moment for testing so is only 1080i 50hz, but I have also had to adjust the overscan to make the screen fit

Can you install Trickster Mod or Set Cpu and find out what the max frequency is.?

I'll flash the new ROM including boot loader tonight by I'm intreagued if that was the problem.
