The Sensation "could have" been an international version with no bloatware? lol. Try again man. The correct way to say it is, "The Galaxy S 2 absolutely WAS an international version with no bloatware, and the Sensation may or may not have been." And your assesment of RAM is not correct. If there is enough RAM to run the process, sure, it will run. If the level of RAM drops below a certain level, other processes will not run. This is how HTC Sense works. Heck, that's how Android works in general.

That is not entirely accurate. If you run something else that takes up more RAM, the first app is terminated. HTC Sense is no different. HTC Sense could easily take up all the RAM on a phone if it did everything it is capable of doing at the same time. But it doesn't work like that. It uses only a percentage of what is available and dynamically reallocates more or less memory for certain functions. There is absolutely no debating that more RAM would lead to better bench scores on any HTC Sense device, especially the latest Sense version running on the Sensation, and even more so on the Sensation running the latest (and most bloated) version of sense, and also a bloated Stock ROM.

Again, I disagree. If you have an Evo, you have probably ran ROMs with the new version of sense ported over. You saw how it affected performance before the cooks cleaned it up. Even though we never totally ran out of RAM on our Evo's (which are just as close to the sensation in RAM as the Sensation is to the Evo 3D). There is no doubt that any device running Sense will perform better with more RAM. And it's absolutely ridiculous to even try to debate this. Put a Sense 3 ROM on your Evo. Now put one on your Hero. Tell me there is no difference.

No idea what any of that has to do with an Evo 3D. You are speculating that the Evo 3D's resolution may or may not be factored into a benchmark result based on a test ran on 2 seperate and totally unrelated phones, that have different specs from each other and neither has the same specs as the Evo 3D.

Any test you run, anything you do, will run faster at a lower resolution. That's why you turn down the resolution on games on older computers. It's common sense- can I render 10 pixels faster or 1 pixel faster?
