Root G2 Overclocked 1.42Ghz Benchmarks!

did nenamark1 on my stock G2. got 32FPS. while 35 is a 3fps increase, its very minute. I'd like to see someone actually overclock the GPU and the GPU only in a phone. I bet its just a matter of time.

Me i personally wouldnt OC the phone to 1.4, but maybe to the processors original clock speeds of 1ghz.

from what i read the cpu in the G2 is underclocked to 800mhz

Its not doing any harm to the phone. My battery life surprisingly is still really good, don't see much of a difference. The real difference comes in emulators and applications. I've had it overclocked for 2 days now and its ridiculously fast. Everything loads instantly and its consistent.

Saying the processors original speed is 1 Ghz is not true. People are just making that up, there's no factual source from Qualcomm stating this.

GPU acceleration will come but it isn't supported by android right now. Hopefully that's a feature of Gingerbread because it could lead to much better performance in gaming and such.

Is there any progress with underclocking? My G2 is already "stupid fast," I'd rather tone things down and get a better battery life and cooler run temperature.

Not to say that overclocking isn't nice, I'll try it sometime, but I wouldn't want to leave it like that for day-to-day use. At least not as high as 1.4ghz.

I think you can underclock just by getting SetCPU and setting it lower.

Ok, so what? CPU speed isnt everything.... ;)

If you do a bit of googling..... stock speed (800 Mhz) quadrant tests have consitently higher scores than a Nexus One which is 1 Ghz fyi... u know why? because G2 is using an updated SCORPION chipset which is a much more efficient than Snapdragon 1 Ghz... the core nm are close @ 45 nM ratehr than 60 nM in the snapdragon..... please do some research.... engadget/phonescoop douchebags dont know shit... they only write these articles based on what they SEE not what they RESEARCH.....

and I stand by T-Mobile... when they say

Sprint's WiMAX maxes out @ 6MBPS, which doesnt even come close the T-Mo's HSPA+ (14.4 for now but will go upto 42 MBPS in future)(once again if you google test results you will come to know....)

Thanks

and I stand by t-mobile when they say “the fastest smartphone experience in America”

Actually Sprint's WiMax is capable of peak speeds "above 10Mbps" (quoted from Sprint's 4G page). Here is proof of this claim:

I personally average 7 Mbps down and +1 Mbps up consistantly in my own house using my Epic 4G. My highest was 8.45 Mbps. Just wanted to give my 2 cents.
