Note 9 (6GB) vs Note 9 (8GB) Antutu Benchmark - 6GB Variant is Better? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

In this video I put both variants of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the 6GB and 8GB models up against each other in an Antutu benchmark test:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTBsM9esgQU

My Antutu score was good initially but I customized it and now it is 253k what changes could I have made in my modifications that would so much decrease my score? Perhaps changing the screen to WQHD and battery saver mode as that would be my guess but not sure..Actually taking battery saver off and screen to FHD it increased to about 280k but not sure what else I changed that would so affect the score. ?

Other apps open in the background when you ran the test?

I tried to close them but I searched again and ended with a 283.5K which is 3rd but perhaps there are other things that I can do but it is purely an exercise and cannot be discerned in actual day to day applications. .. Than you

I get a much higher score 283K or so on my Verizon 512GB SD845 model. I'm running in performance mode with an optimization run first.

Highest Antutu Scores EVER on a Huawei P8 Lite!

BIGGEST SCORES EVER IN ANTUTU 6.2 !!!
News: I touched 50.000 points in latest Antutu version with the same tweaks from below, just that downscale texture is disabled.
News: @HaiderHady has touched 40.000 POINTS IN ANTUTU! Congratulations!
Code:
[I][U]OLDER POST[/U][/I]
Same settings as below--
Ran Antutu 5.7.1 and...
But first,[U] I know[/U] this is not newest Antutu but at that time when the older biggest score on (35186) was on Lollipop, same as now EMUI 3.1 B204, in Q1-Q4 2015 there was no Antutu 6.2. All 35XXX scores were made on 5.7.1 of Antutu, and in dates differing from Q1 2015 to Q1 2016, where there was no EMUI 4.
THE SCORE IS..... (drum beats...) 42.474!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOWOWOwowowow. But, don't get too excited, the resolution scaling and everithing was turned down or off to get that performance, the kernel needs A LOT of optimizations to get that performance
~This is just a proof of concept that you can squeeze such performance for such of a low-budget device. It is just 1000 points far from a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but that I'm sure it's ran just like this, with no extreme downscalling~
There will be a screenshot, just squeeze your eyes and see that is for real 42.474 and it beats the Note 4 in some categories
Rooted, GlTools installed went to antutu bench and 3d bench and put:
-Anti Aliasing disabled
-Lower render resolution 0.25x
-Force 16Bit Rendering
-Optimize GLSL shaders
-Texture decompression disabled
-Texture recompression disabled
-Downscale textures 1x1
-Half-Float texture hack
~Other settings:
-Force GPU redering on in dev. options
Code:

The score: 33055
I will let screenshots later. Why? I want to test one more time with the power management option on "Performance" because that was on "intelligent" and the battery was on red indicator when I ran the benchmarks (>20)
EDIT: Got even higher scores!-- Disabled force 4xMSAA -> Got 334XX something
Will let screenshots

Why use 4XMSAA...... It decreases performance as it is an anti aliasing option ....
P.S. -I will never use a custom kernel on EMUI because the device becomes slower
-THIS IS NOT THE HIGHEST SCORES OF A P8LITE! The Highest score is on EMUI 3.1, not 4, maybe I will test and EMUI 3.1 and try to get an even higher score (but I don't know if there was used an custom kernel or not)

Hmm... ok then I will try without MSAA 4x and with performance power option to see what scores I can get.

Emui 3.1 is android 5, it will have a better score, 35000 more or less.
Android 6 is "more heavy".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, i got just 28000 with Force GPU rendering in dev. options. I searched on google Huawei P8 Lite Antutu and went to pictures and almost every photo was saying "35XXX", but I saw the scores are on Antutu 5.7.1-5.7.3 .Maybe the Antutu is "more heavy"
I will re-run the Benchmark with GlTools and everything on disabled and see what I score.
Still, I feel that EMUI 3.1 is a lot smoother than 4, I don't know why the scores a lower
EDIT: In detail, the score is 28802

Is the default.
All that benchmark app only use 4 cores, they can't stress enough the cpu to bring all 4 cores in Huawei.
For example my old 4 cores Alcatel reach the same values and it have the same cpu speed.
90% of the apps only need one core to work so...

Let your phone cool down....Charge it to 100℅ and benchmark with charger disconnected and normal mode on in Power Manager.
Remeber to keeo your phone cool while benchmark and disable developer options...

Sorry for non-responding, done how you told me, with no gltools tweak and got a score of 28308. I'm seeing that 3D scores ale lower than usual, and a small difference in other categories. I'm sure if we would've got OpenGL 3.0 we would get a lot more in scores, because unlocks the "marooned" test
P.S. The 42.XXX score is achieved in Antutu 5.3.1 with gltools tweaks, the scores I gave you are in 6.2, with no gltools tweak and dev. options turned off

Holy fukin shyttt..... om facking god. Finnaly solved the problem with 3D score. TRIPLED THE SCORE with a simple tweak, what I am going to post later this evening.
Will let some screenshots, too.
3D: right on the edge, 6000 points. Massive!
Now, I just need to figure out that CPU problem. Maybe you, @persona78 you can help me. It is this problem not related to a build.prop thing? (I'm asking you because BetoOS build.prop tweaks. Thanks!)

Hello!
I just ran an antutu benchmark on my note and the score is far too low for this phone!!
Any ideas on what's going on?
I'm on stock Oreo BTW.

If your phone was warm when you ran the test, that will effect the results.
Not used Antutu for a while but there should be an imformation tab, there you can see the battery temperature amongst other details. Try running it again when the battery is around 26-28c.
Hopefully then it will be a normal result.
Just ran Antutu and got 203k on stock Oreo.
These benchmarks are a complete waste of time. Honestly.

That actually maybe true considering Samsung uses DVFS to fake benchmarks
Also it was warm. One more thing. The benchmark was run at QHD. Does it make a difference.
Benchmarks do not reflect how the device behaves in real life, the really important thing is how your device performs in everyday circumstances or in intense scenarios

Mi9 global extremely low geekbench scores?

Hi, i just got the device 2 days ago, i was on other firmware, and i had the same issue.
I updated to the 10.2.30, but nothing changed here are the scores,
Now before you tell me benchmark don't matter, i know, but im affraid cores may not boost during real life workloads and im getting crippled snapdragon 660 instead of s855, thank.
P.S. The phone is also not faster and even slower compared to s10 exynos in tasks, this is what made me investigate.
You sure you see those numbers reflected in daily tasks? I was curious if I'd get similar results and I did in geekbench but other benchmark apps give the result we'd expect so I'm pretty sure it's just the app that's at fault.
No, not completely but the phone is not faster and even slower compared to supposedly slower 9820 based s10...sometimes chrome starts to load web woth 2 seconds delay, and apps install time is also a bit sluggish
Well when my mi 9 came in I still had the oneplus 7 pro that I wanted to return so I compared them speed wise. Could barely tell that the mi 9 was slower than the 7 pro in download+install, most of the time it was almost the same if not the same and that's down to ufs 3.0 i guess. And believe me, I'm not boasting about my mi 9, because being fast is this phones's only quality, everything else is average at best in my opinion.
Can you do geekbench and pc mark work 2.0 for me please? just let few mins between runs and close everything from the background first, thanks alot!
P.S. What FW you are using? 64 or 128GB version?
You are using geekbench 5, use geekbench 4 if you want higher score.... Nice placebo just from a score.

Average, actually it takes better photos and video over the OnePlus 7 pro!
To back that up look no further then the 50 plus reviews on YouTube!
Also the Mi 9 has better ultra wide and telephoto cameras.
Has wireless 20watt charging like no other does which the OnePlus has no wireless at all!
Charges faster, 1hr flat, last longer,
IR blaster although nothing major still nice to have. I use it. Especially at sports bars when you want your game! Lol
The only thing the OnePlus 7 pro truly beats the Mi 9 at is the display. Other then that the fact is the Mi 9 is even faster! Proven.
The 3.0 is only for data transfer out a USB C cable. Not to important to me overall!

My bad I will due a geekbench 5 tomorrow but geekbench is not really that good. If you want the best run the new AnTuTu 8 . Whatever to see what your getting as that test memory, CPU, GPU, and UX. Try that but the Mi 9 should do better then just about anything but a gaming phone!

My 1st result running warm and worth 5 apps loaded I will post below and more tomorrow. But it beats every registered score they have for Android and by a decent bit and that's with apps running and warm!!
Gokh is right, they changed the score multiplier in geekbench 5 it seems, it's easy to tell if you look at other phones' score, they're all in the same league.
I did the geekbench 5 on 10.2.28 EEA, 128 GB and got a similar result, a bit lower. I don't know what pcmark work 2.0 is, I typically just use antutu as it tests many things without going through the hassle of installing 6 other apps and is maintained properly.

It is very easy to start to imagine things that is not true based on a misinterpreted performance score!
Mi 9 is definitely faster then S10 exynos in use.

Question Galaxy Tab S8 lagging in games compared to Tab S7

Hello
I have upgraded my Tab S7 to Tab S8. And I have expected new device be much faster and smoother, but what I found that games are really lagging! It was perfectly smooth on S7 but not on S8. Game mode does not help much. I do not play a log of games on this tablet as I used it mostly for developement, but I do play Harry Potter Puzzle and Spells and this game lags pretty bad on S8.
What can be done to fix it or should I wait for Samsung to release update? I do know about Samsung's throttling on S8 devices but I never expect it to be that bad.
And in addition (don't want to open another thread) it seems that S8 has more aggressive memory settings because it unloads apps from memory over time. Which never happened on S7. S8 has more memory and I think it should keep more opened apps, not reloading them. And yes, settings in developer section (do not keep activities) is not enabled

This has to do to android 12, s7 was only on android 11, but also is on 12 now. So then it automatically puts apps into deep sleep. You can remove that under battery settings area and remove apps from deep sleep mode.
About lagging it might be new game mode from samsung since apparently samsung did on purpose limit hardware but added a settings into app that let's you gain more performance in games. Should be in game engine or w.e name is and then settings and then Labs and enable experimental feature there that should boost performance and stop limit the hardware for game.
When I replaces S7 it was already on Android 12 but I never observed such behavior. Anyway, I have put game into never sleep list. As about lags, unfortunately I found no options for that

I was noticing this particular with emulation since I don't play many native android games. When playing Sonic Colors at native res on my Tab S7+, it would almost never go below 30fps in level, and almost never below 60fps in the hub and menus. However, when I tried doing the same on the S8+, I had a bunch of stuttering and performance issues no matter what version of dolphin I used. There was a workaround to this (at least for me). These issues only happened when I restored my data to my new S8+ with Smart Switch, but when I just put all my data and stuff on there manually, the issues seemingly stopped happening. The only game I throttle in is Fortnite, which didn't have the 90fps option even though the S7+ did. The game still didn't feel much different before and after the throttle, still pretty consistent framerates overall.
Edit: Just fixing typos.

Did you used cloud backup or restored through cable or it's the same thing? I have similar problem, but with benchmark results. My device can't get even average model score in 3DMark (about 2 to 8%). Geekbench scores are worse than snapdragon 865 devices. I don't know what's going on. I already tried to reflash stock rom with odin, but that didn't help. Hopefully not using cloud backup will help.

I initially restored with a cable, but once I started getting shawty performance, I made a backup on my sd card and restored it from there with Smart Switch. I never used cloud backup since that takes a lot of time for me. After getting suboptimal results with both, I just bit the bullet and slowly started adding everything and getting it to how it was on my old devices. Only then did I get getting substatiall better results. Now I can run a lot of Wii/GC/3DS/PS2 games at 1.5x, 2x, and sometimes even 3x without getting throttled. Not sure why using smart switch tanked my performance, but all I know is that it's not tanking now.
Thats interesting. Because I also moved data using cable. I do not know how good is cloud since I never did it before (only on Apple devices).
I might try to fully format tablet and test it again.
Will provide more information later

I tried formatting few days ago, and that didn't help. At least for me this problem is not related to Smart Switch. Do you also have bad benchmark scores? I understand that benchmarks are not very good indicator of performance (especially due to GOS), but I expect to have at least average SD8gen1 performance, not the level of SD855.
Did reset to factory settings. It is much better at least for now. Benchmark - tested only Geekbench 5. Result the same
Hi.. I'm experiencing the same problem here.. any updates regarding this problem? My geekbench score can't even surpass an exynos 2100.. it only achieve around 700ish on single core.. the first time I notice this is when I tried playing granturismo with aethersx2.. and it can't even handle the 1x reso.. hhhh.. really frustrated here.. please kindly share any clues regarding this topic thanks in advance.. sorry not a native English speaker
I had same problem, but, i solved using this:
ADB AppControl 1.7.5
(disable all game service (i'm not remember how many)). For me it's work great
--edit
i disabled bixdy and others apps too
First.. thank you for the answer! Might try it out later..
So it's like disabling the "GOS" right? Is it different from the "alternate game performance" option in game booster? They said it's the "official" way to disable the GOS.. but yeah I didn't find any difference after enabling that option though... Hmm..
Hmm...also.. What makes me wonder is.. I saw some reviewers review this device without any tweaking needed and they could achieve a 8gen1'ish results in benchmarks.. and also if you know ETA prime on YouTube.. he reviewed a tab s8 ultra and is able to run a granturismo 4 with aethersx2 (ps2 emulator) in 3x reso in default settings with no problems... I know it's a different device but it's supposed to have a same Chip right?
All of this things makes me frustrated because it was not what i expected from a 8gen1 device.. moreover I saw a sd870 device could run the granturismo 4 in the same settings with no problems.. it really broke my heart..
The issue mainly lies in the SOC.
Even though, SD8 Gen 1 has a much higher peak performance, especially in GPU, it can't sustain that performance due to excesive power consumption which results in thermal throttling.
GOS is another thing that affects the whole experience, it's limiting the performance of the device.

Yeah.. I think this is mainly what cause the problem.. The 8gen1 itself..
a quick update regarding this from me..
I've done some re-test in benchmark and real game perfomance but this time im doing it in a well conditioned (cooled) room..
previously I was doing the test and gaming and in a room without any Air Conditioner and I lived in a tropical country which is really hot and humid...
the benchmark results (3d wildlife) came out Nice in a well cooled room, It scores what most of Tab S8 would score and the real life perfomance (PS2 emulator) is also improved..
it manages to handle GranTurismo 4 in aethersx2 with 3x reso on safe setting quite well..
the CPU temperature is well managed in around 35'ish Celcius compared to 45'ish when not using any air conditioner...

Yeah.. I think this is mainly what cause the problem.. The 8gen1 itself..
a quick update regarding this from me..
I've done some re-test in benchmark and real game perfomance but this time im doing it in a well conditioned (cooled) room..
previously I was doing the test and gaming and in a room without any Air Conditioner and I lived in a tropical country which is really hot and humid...

CPU temperature 35 Celsius degrees? Are you talking about an ABSOLUTE idle? Because even if you would put a bag of ice on the TAB it wouldn't sit that low under usage. Even small loads will put the CPU around 50-60 Celsius degrees. Under heavy load up to 85-90 till the thermal throttle hits in.
Also, that ONE wildlife mark test doesn't do much. The idea is stability, better known as SUSTAINED performance, and that's where SD8 Gen 1 ****s itself. Try running a Wildlife standard stress test (20-minute loop) and post the screenshot, you'll see what I mean.

I only saw the perf-z indicator from samsung though.. so yeah.. i know i might just straight up wrong about this I just straight saying what I saw.. and honestly I'm not an expert in this.. just a mere consumer..
Yeah I got you.. it goes downhill even after the first one.. what I'm trying to say was that I never reach that score before in warm room so yeah it's mainly the CPU problem..
What mainly being my concern before was I'm scared that I got scammed with a fake/unoriginal/refurbished tab s8.....
Harry Potter plays fluently on Tab S8 Plus here.
I have sent my S8 to my mom and bought S8 plus. Did not restore, set it up from scratch. No lagging in games, including HP. So, it could be related to thermal soliton in S8 plus as it is bigger

First.. thank you for the answer! Might try it out later..
So it's like disabling the "GOS" right? Is it different from the "alternate game performance" option in game booster? They said it's the "official" way to disable the GOS.. but yeah I didn't find any difference after enabling that option though... Hmm..
Hmm...also.. What makes me wonder is.. I saw some reviewers review this device without any tweaking needed and they could achieve a 8gen1'ish results in benchmarks.. and also if you know ETA prime on YouTube.. he reviewed a tab s8 ultra and is able to run a granturismo 4 with aethersx2 (ps2 emulator) in 3x reso in default settings with no problems... I know it's a different device but it's supposed to have a same Chip right?
All of this things makes me frustrated because it was not what i expected from a 8gen1 device.. moreover I saw a sd870 device could run the granturismo 4 in the same settings with no problems.. it really broke my heart..

Yes you have to run 4 adb Commands that also disables game booster and game launcher then GOS will stay disabled even after restart. I've done this and turn ram plus off. I also disabled or put into deep sleep all of the bs apps. I also went to advance features and turned off all of everything causes I don't use the s-pen so no need for air actions and stuff to be on. If you want the ADB commands let me know.

Question gaming performance

Well, I was thinking of buying 7 or the pro, but the performance in games has me in doubt, someone has played heavy games, such as Génsei impact, how is the performance in this game
It plays every game fine as long as you don't max out the settings.

What do you mean by not maximizing? Because of the heating?

What I mean is that the games tend to be tuned for their best performance out of the box. If you jack up the settings beyond that, you'll start losing frames, especially in Genshin since just about every Android struggles to get 60FPS maxed out.
Tensor is basically a tweaked Exynos 2100 and as you can see from the guide here, it's a high end performer (look at the table, I don't think they have updated the blurb about Exynos being beaten by a 3 year old chip because that's the 980, the 2100 is much better and the GPU in the Tensor G2 is better than the 2100's anyway).

saccording to that table the s21 With the 2100 it performs well, but what about warming up with pixel 7, how will it be, does it lower performance or does it maintain it?

All of these devices heat up and throttle, the Pixel is no exception, but its relative average performance is still better than the Exynos 2100.
You can also cut down the heat and increase performance by tweaking down graphics settings obviously. It's not really that noticeable on these displays anyway.
Here you can see it running around 45~60 FPS on high on a Pro. I didn't check if he is running it at 1080p or 1440p though so performance on the 7 may be better or the same. Dude comments that even the 8 Gen 1 has the same frame drops.
Thanks , bro
