iPhone 4S Geekbench Scores

[cababah]

I just wanted to see if any of you have ran your own geekbench scores and wanted to share them here.

I ran mine just now and it was 624. However, the program reported a CPU speed of only 715mhz which is weird since the CPU is supposed to be 800mhz. Any ideas?

Each time I opened the program, it would display a different CPU speed which makes me wonder if it just reads it at that very instant.

The CPU speed in the A5 series is dynamically clocked. Meaning, it will down clock to save battery life and clock up to a specified limit when the user or device needs more power.

Interesting results! Look at the variation of CPU speeds and GB scores.

They're all very oddly placed out. Some slow speeds get high scores, where some fast speeds get low scores.

Yeah, so weird. I wonder what the significance is.

The test conditions are not uniform. That's my guess.

It's not speaking highly of the GB program in my opinion. The hardware shouldn't fluctuate at all. I think they should revise their test parameters.

They may not have control over the speed of the A5. Or their software isn't set to properly tax it then test it. But they did have quite awhile with the iPad 2's A5, so that shouldn't be the problem.
