Samsung Galaxy S Hits 2500 in Quadrant

This is really freaking awesome and it makes me want to get the fascinate (?) when it comes out even though I just got my droid back in march.

AlienBabelTech is back again with some detective work on their part regarding the HTC Glacier that we saw leaked through an OpenGL performance benchmark database a couple of weeks back. This time, the phone’s GPU data has been tested and put up against one of the best GPUs on the market: Samsung’s PowerVR SGX 540 inside the Vibrant (and other Galaxy S phones). The Glacier scored 711 frames – just below the Vibrant’s 818 – but if we can take any degree of consistency from the results, then it’s apparent the Glacier is capable of drawing 80-million triangles per second.
Qualcomm’s newest high performance chipset – the 1.5 GHz dual-core QSD8672 – also just so happens to have been specced to draw 80 million triangles per second. That’s pretty convincing for our hopes of this phone being able to nearly match the 3D performance seen out of the Galaxy S phones.

That’s until the phones get overclocked. The Samsung Galaxy S phones were rooted and modded as soon as the devices hit the UK and US markets. Since then, developers have been able to tweak the I/O read-write speeds for the phone’s default file system using a virtual EXT2 file system and some crafty hacking. That already made an impressive boost in Quadrant benchmark scores, but when you use a 1.2GHz overclock kernel, 2,500+ on Quadrant’s charts becomes a scary reality as no other Android handset has been able to crack the 2,000 barrier to date (let alone 2,500).
The kernels and file system tweaks are far from stable, however, but we’re confident the task is in good hands as it always is with the Android development scene. Then there’s FroYo yet to be released, as well: we might as well run for the hills at that point because these phones will have enough juice to build a mind of their own.

Did this just slip by everyone this morning, Over Clocked to 1.2ghz, running Android 2.1, No JIT Compiler, 2547 on Quadrant...

See this is why I want to grab VZW by the neck and shake some sense into them. They have been able to release the Fascinate now for how long? Yet it will most likely be slated for the end of the year release. I don't want these locked down moto phones, I need me some Galaxy S love.

Why can't this be done with all android phones? Is there something im missing cause I thought that it was a common problem for android to be slow on writing and this supposedly fixes it for the galaxy s so why hasn't there been any talk of doing this for the droid, droid x, droid 2, or dinc?

[jroc]

Oh I may just try it for the X. lol I know some Dev thats an X fan will. I wanna know too how come this fix cant work for all Android phones?

We've had a few phones break 2k. Even 2.1k I think.
