Here's my antutu benchmark
I get 22970 on 4.3 up from 21300 on 4.1.2.
Beating the xperia Z is weried though - even you tube videos show lower Xperis z benchmarks.
Many reasons for this my friends- in 3 words: Quality over Quantity
first of all, the xperia sp has a much more advanced and newer chipset- Krait 300 MSM8960T- which is the same as the Moto X. this allows for much higher performance yield per core.
secondly, it has much less pixels to push, which results in a much higher graphics potential- up to twice as powerful in fact without the 1080p display. i know this cos my xperia got 57.8fps in the Epic Citadel Ultra Quality setting.
Thirdly, there is newer, faster RAM. this results in much higher data transfer speeds, and thus the increased score.
The Xperia SP is sole proof that specs arent everything. amd that we dont usually need or use the power of todays overkill chipsets ( Tegra K1, Exynos Octa and Snapdragon 8000 series etc).
hope i cleared up the confusion.
cheers
Mine is 23 751...I think is amazing for a dual-core phone.
