Huge 2.2 news!

[mike919]

Looks like Stock 2.2 is benching 5x faster then 2.1... Quite impressive! Thoughts??

Thia is going to be amazing. I just hope this update works out and that it is what we are hoping it to be.

Well, don't get too excited. That was done on a N1 and we all know there is a huge difference between 2.1 on N1 and the Droid.

So is I'm already rooted, what does this mean? Will I be able to get the speed on my rooted droid (I'm clocked at 1.1ghz)

Still very good news even if tested on a n1

@Hookbill If you look at the Linpack reports there is already a few Droids clocking in at 38

I agree... Hopefully the 2.2 rollout is a lot smoother. Sounds like they have their act together this time.

Maybe when the source code is released for 2.2 you will see that kind of speed from Cyanogen but with a 1ghz kern and JIT on Cyanogen now you can hit atleast 12 MFlops I'm pushing 14 MFlops right now without much tweaking

there are Droids clocking in at 38MFlops already but I would think those are Adobe devs with 2.2 testing stuff out on other units maybe...

Yes this is very true, I just hope we get a little change.

Correction: the Droids are hitting 32-34 MFlops about not 38 sorry
