View Full Version : VFSMark Scores

I ran VFSMark on a TG50 at Circuit City the other day. While the overall mark was much better than my N610, some of the individual scores were much worse.

Sorry, I don't have the TG50 scores with me.

Just for reference, my N610 has a VFSMark of 71. I believe the TG50 was either 140 or 170.

Any ideas why the TG50 is so much faster on some aspects (reading), and so much slower on others (writing?)?

Different chip got different speed. Maybe the read and write chip is diff within a set.

VFSmark is an os 4.0 app, therfore runs in emulation.

If the app were os 5 native (andonly ran in OS 5) you would not only get an accurate reading, but you would be suprised just how fast a 200mhz xscale chip really is.

Just the CPU speed alone will account for why it's so much faster...200mhz vs 33mhz...

But s_n_m's post regarding the application's code explains why the results were so weird...

You'd expect that memory stick speed compared to emulation speed would be a large ratio, hence any emulation overheard would be mostly unnoticable.

Maybe the test code needs to be updated.
