[Info] Exynos Octa and why you need to stop the drama about the 8 cores [Upd 25/05]

Note that the current frequency is listed as 1300 MHz, which means that the Benchmark is running on the A15 cluster, if the max clock of 1.2 GHz for the A7 is correct. I would have thought that the A7 would have been enough for such a GPU focused benchmark.

A lingering question is how the 5410 responds to touch inputs, as Jelly Bean uses a CPU boost, whenever a touch event is triggered to increase smoothness, but does it trigger the A15s???

It doesn't mean anything at all. That current frequency is the CPU frequency at the time you open up the information page of any application, it's relatively useless.

Also the IKS doesn't map things directly. At frequencies like 1000MHz you won't know which core is online simply through frequency. The frequencies reported are virtual ones, and hopefully normalized to the A15 performances. ARM did it the other way round on their test chips and reported frequencies normalized on the A7 cores which is stupid as things went up to 2.4GHz reported even though max was 1.2GHz on the A15.

It's senseless to discuss it until we actually will see the source code, you will not be able to come to conclusions from any application not designed with the new frequency planes in mind.

Very informative you write ups are AndreiLux. Thanks so much for your huge input and involvement in the community

Will there be a noticeably difference between the Snapdragon and the Exynos for a normal User except battery? Cause Im not shure to wait for the Exynos or "just" get the Snapdragon.

i think that why Samsung didn't used Powervr series 6 cuz it will not be available till Q3

haha,it won't be long before the Galaxy S5 rumours start flying.....

the thing is, you won't be paying more
you'll pay the same you would pay for any flagship

and it's been said a million times, but I guess you didn't understand that 4 of the cores are used ONLY to save battery, that's why they're necessary, not for the power

seem like this is the final firmware for s4...antutu showing 250 to 1600mhz
28k score awesome...if overclock to 1.9 like the s600 at least scoring 30k ady....

yep they seems removed the 1.8 from frequency table

Haha, amateurs. The phone was running at 1.6 since forever. Just to give you perspective on how credible these bullshít websites are.

We always believed in you And I am glad that you were right . Now Qualcomm fanboys can ****
