GPU rendering isn't effective for MOST apps. Also take into account, that the MALI 400MP is a very weak GPU. Also, don't mess about in developer option's if you don't know what they do eh?
No you have it disabled. And for the the other dude saying that the MALI 400 is a weak GPU. You are retarded. It has one point (triangles) where it fails compared to newer GPUs. But it is still one of the top GPUs around.

it's WEAK for 2013 i never meant it that way, last year it was a good GPU, 2011 was when the s2 was announced and it carried a mali 400mp. That was clocked at about 200mhz or so, all Samsung did was just overclock it to 440mhz. THAT is the ONLY reason that it kept up with some other GPU's on the market.

It still isn't weak.
I guess Nvdia's (Tegra chipset) GPU is better as they have been working on PC GPU for many years?

I have a Korean SGSII, and I looked up the system information by Quadrant and it says 'cores: 1'.
ARM V7I
Isn't it supposed to show 2?

You mean quadrant standard information? Yeah, mine is two..

One here as well, it doesn't really matter though as it still uses both. Probably just setcpu detecting the information incorrectly.
Try using quadrant standard.. I only get 1 core in quadrant advanced and 2 cores in quadrant standard..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
At the.time you check it only uses 1cpu.
Your governor is probably set to: ondemand.
So if you do a lot of things fast, and it neeeds another cpu to keep up with you, that's when the second cpu kicks in.
When you can simulate that and open app fast, you will see it detects two cpu's. I had same issue intil I started switching between tabs really fast and checked back; two instead of one.
Try it.

Standard got ads. Advanced doesn't.
This is also why you see 1 in advanced, and 2 in standard. For the standard version it needs more cpu-power to do everything the app asks for; permissions, ads etc. advanced doesnt have this so thats why you see one. (less actions, less cpu-power needed.)

Quadrant doesn't truly support 2 cores, therefore it sometimes shows 1, other times 2.

In my system monitor app it shows two cores but the second one is greyed out and says its 100% idle the whole time. Does the os not use both cores? Or is the app possibly wrong?

It means it's not being used. The second core is used as more of an 'overflow' core.

Oh OK.. so do you think dual core isn't really necessary? Do any apps benefit from it yet?

They will when ICS comes
It uses both cores natively, unlike GB

Dual core isn't "necessary" but yeah you will see pretty nice gains when both cores are used on the OS level. Also when more appps/programs are coded for multithreading we will enjoy the extra core. I mean alot of windows 7 phones are still single core and there's like no lag that I've heard about, same applies for iOS. Yes I know each OS has it perks and cons, but with this level of hardware on Android devices we shouldn't have any transitional/UI lag. Hoping that ICS will address this issue finally.

Hmm. I don't think GB is designed truly for dual core, not sure if it fully utilizes the extra core.

that was my understanding. Gingerbread wasn't written to run on two cores, just the one. Hence the reason why until we get ICS, the Nexus will be a "faster" phone as it will actually utilize both cores.
we just need Mango (Windows Mobile 7.5) then we kick it into TURBO speed!... w00t
hahahahhaha

My understanding of this is that Android at the system level (ie, the underlying linux) is SMP capable and active. Distinct apps will run on each core as the OS sees fit.
What isn't dual core about android is the application layer. A given app cannot multi-thread and use two cores. That comes with Honeycomb +
TL;DR - You get some benefit from Dual Core now - you will get more later.
So i tried out Tegra Zone today, since the Galaxy S3 has Tegra 3, i figured there where some good games i could buy.
But on every game i tried to download, it came up a informationfield; This device is not compatible.
i tried both Tegra 2 and Tegra 3 games.
Anyone else has the same issue, or a solution?
Thanks

The S3 does not have a tegra 3
None of the S3 have Tegra3, (thanks god for that). But you can buy the Nexus 7 tablet for $200 which has the Tegra3.
Alternatively if yor're rooted, get Chainfire3d Pro.
Allows you to bypass that stupid and technically nonexistant limitation and play games in paid-by-nvidia quality.

wow, way to do your homework before buying something. none of the GS3 variants have a tegra processor in them. international uses the quad core exynos SOC and most US variants (if not all) are using the snapdragon S4 SOC.
We should feel lucky that the S3 doesn't have tegra processor.

Hmmm. I don't go buy a pc without researching the benchmarks. I might be using an amd chip had I not looked at the benchmarks of the Intel chips in comparison. I don't suspect our phones and the chips we have in them are any different. There has to be certain tests that prove a chip's performance. There's always a game or function that can push a chip to it's limits, and some of us want to know what those limits are.

I was about to say that score is pretty bad... but then I noticed you aren't on a GNote.
Benchmarking serves a purpose, surely. But real world experience trumps sheer numbers (within reason). For instance, S4 versus Tegra 3. Both excel at certain benchmarks, but in reality, both are great.
Where benchmarking is f'in retarded is when someone *****es that they scored a 6200 and joe schmoe scored a 6250...and they are pissed.

Ahh, but that's why we need a benchmark program that's not fooled by the rom. Pc's have them. Aren't our phones merely small pc's?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I know....a benchmark program built into the recovery mode software, so you could test the chip outside of the rom. That is a good idea. That way the test won't be skewed by widgets and background processes. Although I do like to know how much improvement comes from my overclocking.

I see all over the place people posting their Quadrant scores. Now of course everyone wants their phone to run fast as possible..but my question is does these scores mean anything.. I have been running meanrom and his scores ate the fastest I have seen.. they have been going down over the past few updates and he does nit want to pur in some tweaks I would like so I decided to try out other rims.. most were pretty unimpressive and gave quadrant scored slightly lower but not too much. All these tons were based on the new kernel. I looked at viper and on paper it looked impressive. Once installed I coukdnt quite get it to do all it advertised but it has all the tweaks I want and so it would be nice to run. Now I run quadrant and it is 1000 less than mean. I suspect most of that is due to viper being on the old kernel. But here is the kicker.. I really do not see where my phone is any slower. One would think a drop if 1000 would be noticeable.. was just wonder what you guys think of this.. in the meantime I am going to see what the battery life on this Rom is.

Quadrant scores don't equal performance. There was a phone that lg made that at the time blew away all phones in quadrant and it wasn't due to raw power, it had dual channel memory, over all performance wasn't so good
Quadrant has nothing to do with the performance of the phone, its easily manipulated...there was a dev on the 3d forums a while back that did just that...everyone swore his Rom ran best because the quandrants were so high, but it was a placebo affect...
