Okay, so anandtech.com had an article comparing the new iPhone to the current top offerings. 2 of the tests were with the browser.
AnandTech - iPhone 4S Preliminary Benchmarks: ~800MHz A5, Slightly Slower GPU than iPad 2, Still Very Fast
I decided to run the benchmarks to see how my device compares. The results shocked me.
I have an HTC Inspire 4g, OCed to 1.5ghz (OnDemand) (I can run stable at 1.7ghz) with CM7 nightly (220), and TalonAce 1.0.6 Kernel.
The top numbers Anand has for Sunspider shows 2130 for the SG Tab.
In Sunspider I get 2300(@1.5ghz) or 2176(@1.7ghz). This has me confused...what's going on? How can the performance of my device beat the SGS2, and be on par with the I4S?
I then decided to run the Rightware Browsermark. I got 77718 (@1.5ghz) and 87179 (@1.7ghz). That's over 20k higher than all the other phones...
So part of the point of this thread is to point out how misleading these benchmarks are, and another part is to figure out if this is just the result of an amazing group of devs that know how to optimize a device to perform better than next generation devices... (Make sense?)
I think it would be great to see how other rooted/customized devices compare to the benchmarks Anand ran. I typically trust articles on Anand, but this has me wondering...
