Galaxy S-II Browsermark / Sunspider test results and comparisons/

Performed a couple of tests on my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S-II and grabbed some reference online for benchmarks:

BrowserMark (higher is better)
89567 iPhone 4S
75326 Galaxy S-II
51701 iPhone 4
37276 iPhone 3GS
32594 Nokia Lumia 800

SunSpider (lower is better - in ms)
2222 iPhone 4S
2738 Galaxy S-II
3921 iPhone 4
5785 iPhone 3GS
6790 Nokia Lumia 800

I noticed that GSM Arena and Anandtech are both showing much worse results for Galaxy S-II than what I've seen, and I've run both tests at least twice.  It appears to be one or both of two things that separate T-Mobile's Galaxy S-II from the others: the Snapdragon CPU or the Gingerbread 2.3.5.  Sprint and AT&T use Samsung Exynos CPU and Gingerbread 2.3.4, while other countries that shipped earlier this year received 2.3.3.

Look at how the internal changes of the iPhone 4S made a huge difference from the iPhone 4, and beat out my phone!

Look again at how poorly the flagship Nokia Lumia 800 performs, compared to the two-year old iPhone 3GS!

I say again: Nokia's Lumia 800 and WP7 Mango are big failures.
