Off Topic: Nexus S Benchmarks

Slightly off topic but I found this interesting.

Go to 2:45.

The Nexus S is pretty slow in Quadrant, it gets stuck for like 25 seconds on the Input/Output algorithm tests and overall is much slower than the MT4G. For some reason the test bugs out on the graphics portions so we don't see the overall score. In linpack it only scores like 14. I thought for sure the phone would score much, much higher since it's not running on the touchwiz interface. I know the phone probably does run smooth but I definitely expected better performance.

I thought it was pretty funny when it didn't render the planet part in quadrant and then just stopped. I was expecting a much higher score in linpack but I really don't care. MT4G ftw!

On the phonedog review, it scored an 1880 in quadrant. (not sure how). Also, linpack imo doesn't really show how fast a phone is. For example, I remember getting 8-9mflops on my samsung moment while my epic only got 7-8mflops. Both were on 2.1 but the Epic is at least 3x faster than my Moment was even when scoring higher in linpack.

I'm wondering what kind of scores the duel core phones will get in linpack.
