The truth is, Quadrant is a joke, this is all for fun and games, amusement. Some dorky bragging rights.
The reason I call it a joke, is because it doesn't just benchmark hardware alone, there are too many software influences in the score.
Case in point. You see a massive increase in cpu scores when running Quadrant under Froyo 2.2 vs Eclair 2.1. What kinda joke is that, lol. Are we testing hardware or software? A real, truely accurate benchmark would test Hardware only, independent of what OS was running. Clearly Quadrant is unable to do so. It's like putting two Vibrants next to each other, one running Froyo, the other running Eclair, and trying to argue that the Phone Runnying Froyo has a faster CPU. We all know this isn't the case, they have the same CPU.
Someone needs to design a real benchmark, not something that is childs play, something that truely tests the hardware, independent of software.
In the mean time, I like Quadrant, it is fun to play with.
