Overclocked Google Nexus 7 scores high on Quadrant Benchmark

While many of us would never consider overclocking our devices for fear of shortening an already short battery life to say nothing about the overall health of our gadget, there are those who live for the rush you get from pushing the envelope on your device...

I'm starting to trust nvidia chips now, the only things i complain about is the overheat of the chips... nothings else more... thats why i prefer the qualcomm cooler chips :)

and imagine if it is an overclocked QUADCORE s4 chip....
we would see scrores in 8000s

Nvidia and qualcomm team up *epic phone*

That's more of a fantasy than a reality seeing as how Nvidia and Qualcomm are rival chip manufacturers. An even better fantasy would be to see Qualcomm and Samsung team up.

Nice Fat Type-O - "Google Nexus 7 tablet and overclocked it to 1.64MHz" Holy Snap! 1.64 MHz?!?!?! It's like the days of the first Intel chips with 128kb of ram!

Since a lot of you do not understand how custom kernel impacts the quadrant scores, let me break it down.
You see the ballooned IO score on the Nexus? That's because IO scores are ballooned through running IO tests from memory instead of NAND storage. Same trick utilized to "fake" qudrant tests for many years now. This is also the same reason why i'm always questioning Qualcomm S4 based device scores in quadrant
In terms of performance gained, CPU portion of the quadrant should be a good indicator
This is the same reason why franco kernel typically outperforms other kernels in quadrant by a big margin on the same device

Quadrant makes my single core 600 lg optimus t better than every almost every dual core device with a 3100 quadrant score
It also makes my acer iconia a100 Tegra 2 seem the best with a 6000 quadrant score
I love quadrant so many bragging rights :-)

I love Franco kernel I still use it on my optimus one when Franco was still developing for it

if overclocking the chip give shorter lifespan then htc is doing a stupid mistake
they overclock the snapdragon s3 to 1.7ghz on the asian htc one s

1.64MHz - It should be 1.64GHz. :) 1.64MHz sure is slow.

Never been crazy about benchmark tests...as a classic EVO owner, I find that overclocking my phone does help to keep it performing on the same levels as most newer phones, but I never really bother with the numbers from Quadrant...mainly because the numbers aren't always consistent (one test brings a 985 on Quad, second test two minutes later gets a 1070) and they don't always determine what makes a phone run well. A phone can be smooth and powerful without a high score, though high scores do get a lot of publicity for the devices.
