Until I see benchmark results, I call BS on all those rediculous RPi OC results. There was a guy at OCN claiming 5GHz on ln2 too, but obviously tha's BS too.
So far, most cap out at 1200-1250 on air cooling with overvoltage=8.
The Odroid-U2 is indeed an awesome little thingie, with a lot of performance and only consuming max. 10W! I haven't figured out how to 'OC' it beyond 2GHz.
Hardkernel now also has an ODROID-XU with Samsung Exynos5 Octa big.little design (4x Cortex-A15 @1.6Ghz + 4x Cortex-A7 @1.2Ghz). It starts shipping in September and is now $149 pre-order. Unfortunately you can only use 4 cores at the same time.
It would be interesting to see the performance differences between the ARM architectures (ARM6, Cortex -A7-A8-A9-A15)
Phone is Lenovo A820 with Quad-core ARMv7 MT6589 chipset + SGX544MP video. What is the correct category to submit?
Unfortunately MTK-based phones can't be overclocked yet, so I'm stuck at 1.2GHz.
BTW, it's using 2 threads only, don't know why - maybe it's because I'm running it chrooted (as a slave OS).

I'm gonna update the article with some information on 3D benching and influence of PSU.

Awesome guide!
And yes, the JDK8 1.8.0-ea-b100 is very good on ARM devices. I think it is because of the VFP support.
On my ODROID-U2 (4x ARM Cortex-A9 @2,0) I got a score of 2419,06 with Ubuntu 13.04
But the CPU needs to be added to the database before I can submit, so just a link for the time being:
Massman says:
Awesome, is that Linux on your Galaxy Note?
//edit: just figured out it's an Odroid Hardkernel. Nice. Couldn't help myself and just bought one as well

I have been playing quite alot with it now. Still having a hard time getting Java 1.8 to work on Arch linux
Just ordered 2 more units after I found this person: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=51119&p=395436
running 1400mhz arm_core
My first unit are having problems with higher than 1165 mhz arm_core and that only gives me 540 points

Hey, I get it working like this:
pacman -S vim
(I'm used to working with vim to write/edit txt files)
wget http://www.java.net/download/jdk8/archive/b100/binaries/jdk-8-ea-b100-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-24_jul_2013.tar.gz
(or go to the oracle java 8 website and download from there)
tar -xzf jdk-8-ea-b100-linux-arm-vfp-hflt-24_jul_2013.tar.gz -C /opt
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk1.8.0/bin
(link Java to system variables, you have to do it each time you reboot)
java -version
(check if Java is working)
wget http://downloads.hwbot.org/hwbotprime.jar
java -jar hwbotprime.jar
richba5tard says:
Set this in ~/.bash_profile and you don't have to type it after reboot.
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/jdk1.8.0/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile

Got it working on my smartphone. First I tried Debian, but couldn't solve the java command symlink.
Although there was a symlink in /usr/bin, it was still reporting that there's not.
So I've installed the Raspbian.

Massman says:
Use this category: http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/mediatek_mt6589/
You can manually increase the threadcount with hwbot prime. Or do you think the OS is only using two either?
I.nfraR.ed says:
I'll check when I install it again, but I think it's due to the virtual machine mode.
And I'm Linux noob
Massman says:
You and me both, hehe. At least I now found out how to read a kernel, and I think with the right guide I'll be able to "update" an existing one.
