Considering 3GS is ~260 give or take, I'd not expect it to jump that high. Though, if the memory performance is as increased as rumoured, I guess it just might.
Got a tip for us?

^+1!!
One of you lucky early delivery folks who have $5 to waste, let us know what you score with no apps running (clear the taskbar) and one with all 8 save states filled- preferably with various system and entertainment apps like pandora etc..
Anyone?? Please! I can't wait another day and half! Haha
You might be right. I'll scale my guess back to 350-odd. Most likely 340.
The bottom end of http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/mac-benchmarks/ is very interesting. Seems the iPod is already more powerful than all G3 macs, and the iPhone 4 looks to be about the same as a PowerMac G4 533MHz. If the benchmarks can be compared of course.
As someone said in another thread, 1GHz processor, 512MB ram, 100MHZ bus, where have we heard this before?
Nevertheless, 50% processor power increase per year per phone model for 3 years straight is not bad. Hot stuff.
Spoiler Alert: It makes the iPhone 3G sooooo slow by eating up even more of the phone's RAM. I used to run somewhere around 15-30MB of free RAM on 3.1.2, but with iOS4, I'm lucky to have 5MB free even after a reboot
What?! You might want to get your phone checked out if that's the case. My 3G got 50-60 MB of free memory at a max before iOS 4, and with iOS 4 (with multitasking, wallpapers and the battery percentage all enabled) I currently have 55 MB free.
Interesting. I am actually tempted fork over 4.99. I think that makes me an idiot.
I guess they'll make their money mostly off guys like me, who get that all the phones are _supposed_ to be the same and not customizable, but "surely my phone is running slower than normal - seems a little slower than Bob's over there". Just want to download it, confirm that I get the same score, and then probably never run it again.
Anyway, I have the original 3G. It's painful to see that score of 138. The 3GS is something like 260? iPhone 4 is ~ 350 or something? Ug, no wonder my phone feels so slow running the same OS as those other two. That plus the big fat 116MB of ram, vs 256 and 512.
How painful. I need a new phone.

Geekbench scores for the iPhone 4 are on the front page.

350-odd. Respectably faster than the 3GS and about the same score as a Pentium 3, or Celeron or early G4 mac.

Exactly. You buy it for $5, then run it once and find out what your score is and then you never need it again. Seems pretty steep. Maybe should be $0.99.
