You may have seen the demo that shows Linaro Android is 100% faster than Stock Android on TI Pandaboard. Finally, the massive performance improvement was due to another benchmark software (oxBench) that use vsync to render images, where a small increase in actual performance may lead to a doubling of the fps. Still the optimization work at Linaro does pay off, and they provided some other results with AOSP + Linaro Patches build on Panda 4460 measured
with 3.2 TILT stable kernel vs AOSP build with 3.2 kernel:
Antutu RAM 21 %
CaffeineMark String 24 %
Quadrant Mem 81 %
Antutu Float 10 %
0xBench Sunspider 10 %
0xBench DrawArc,DrawCircle,DrawRect >40 %
0xBench Garbage Collection 11 %
Vellamo Sunspider 14 %
Vellamo V8 Benchmark 8 %
Denying it?? I was trying to figure out what the heck you were talking about. So you were bringing up forked OS's and custom Linux builds using Android code as the basis then.
You made it sound as tho you were claiming Google Android versions were gaming the tests. Gotcha tho I've no idea how that's pertinent to the discussion.
The only "they" that should be used are those listed by AnandTech as doping their results. I haven't read anything about these companies killing or even staling other Android services in order to run these benchmarks. Since Android is open (small laugh) one can do whatever they want to optimize it which likely has implementations that are very specific like the Samsung Galaxy Gear watch (bigger laugh) which doesn't need most default Android services as part of the OS.
Also do you guys really think buying a certain phone makes you better than other people?
Nope, that's left to the Fandroids.

Does anyone using a tablet or smart phone care about benchmarks? That's a PC way of thinking what a customer wants. I remember the old Norton benchmarks... that's back when chip speeds actually made noticeable jumps. Now, the latest iMac has a 3.5Ghz processor (and I am stuck at 3.4Ghz). Oh boy.
I never pays to chase after the spec-hounds... they'll buy your gadget, then never pay another penny for software... they'll just hack away...

So I guess you haven't seen (you'll like this) Anand's benchmarks of the poor little 5s dual-core chip blowing away a lot of testosterone-laden quad-cores, huh?

Sad thing about that is the iPhone 5s kicks that 8 core samsung phones ass in benchmarks. And the 5s does it without doping the processor with os tweeks like GS4.
And by the way the exynos 8 core only uses 4 cores at a time stock. It either uses the 4 stock a15 arm cores high power mode or the 4 stock a7 arm cores low power mode. Samsung is using ARM's Big Little architecture to put 8 cores together.

I love this site and I'm addicted. It's like the Daily Mail of tech sites with its rampant frothing of the mouth at everything against Apple.
Seriously though? Why so much hate? The iPhone is the best smartphone in the world and the iPad is the best tablet. Are our lives so devoid of happiness we have to foam at the mouth at Android or Blackberry or Windows Phone? At the end of the day what anyone says on here doesn't matter one iota really. 99.99% of people in the world aren't "fandroids" or "isheep" as they buy their phones or tablets on personal choice. Saying people who buy Android phones are cheap is a sweeping statement which is entirely baseless. Like people who buy iPhones are hipsters. At the end of the day what we post on here is utterly meaningless as the majority of the population does what it wants. So why so much hate?

Published Geekbench results are regularly done on hacked Android versions that have been modified specifically to run benchmarks - at the expense of actually doing anything useful.
Just another example of why Android benchmarks shouldn't be trusted.

Maybe people don't like cheats.
You play the game you play fair, based on merit and some scumbag comes along and throws a spanner in the works by cheating.
Cheats, in any field are deserving of scorn and hate.
Is this an Apple blog? Lol. No problem you convinced me with your bias reports only iPhone is the best phone ever! Is it true that the new iPhone has a fake 64bit CPU manufactured by Samsung ? If Samsung is faking benchmarks so does it mean all the benchmarks for the iPhone 5S are fake too?

Again, you're apparently referring to OS'es other than Google Android. AFAIK there's not any truncated versions of it modified to beat benchmarks. If you have an example of a specially-crafted Google Android version being used by any member of the OHA to fool benchmark tests I'd be first to admit you're right.

Of course you'd deny it.

Yep, benchmarks are typical wank material for Fandroids.

Samsung doesn't even have 64bit, and won't for a long time.
They still use a yellow daisy as an icon representing a group of photos, still stuck in Apple's yesterday since they copied that on the Galaxy S.

You really need to research more before you post.

Yeah, humans tend not to be okay when lies are perpetrated unpunished.
And that’s wrong.
So you’re fine with ~50% of that choice being built on a foundation of lies?
Well, at least that’s true.
Once again, incorrect.
Huh? Did you mean perpetually?
Nope.
