both the Galaxy S II & Galaxy Nexus ranked higher? hmm.. oh well.
what good are benchmarks anyway right? õ_Ô
benchmarks mean absolutely nothing; i can't stand reviewers who use them to judge and rate the phones.
Sense lowers the score alot too for some reason. My desire gets a 1600-1700 on CM7 but gets a 1400 on Sense at the same clocks speed and voltage.

This....
HTC did something with Sense that interferes and harms benches, I am not sure on the specifics, but I do in fact know it affects all Sense based phones. Maybe the ROM has some debugging in it or maybe Sense is just not optimized, which ever it may be it's not a good feature to have. If this phone(or any Sense based) had TouchWiz or Vanilla on it, it would be much faster in benches or just generally.
Yea. Its just sense... Its a heavy UI. On a more vanilla rom I can almost guarantee that it will bench higher than Samsungs. HTCs always do

Not to mention it looks like you don't have a very good SD card? Class 4?
Class 4 comes with the phone right? He probably hasn't swapped it. Ill stick my class10 in there next week and Ill see how high it gets.
Also, the score will be improved when we can use setcpu to lock it in performance governor mode.
Yea, Class 4 is what comes with pretty much every phone Verizon sells. I haven't seen anything better, but I may be wrong so don't quote me, lol.
The fact that Sense slows down benchmarks doesn't imply the benchmarks are invalid. If they run slowly under Sense, then apps that users typically install may also -- and that's definitely something worthwhile to discover.

If you look closely the Rezound has faster CPU and RAM. The SD card is killing the scores.
All this is true... That's a dam good benchmark IMO with the phone stock and bloated lol.

It's interesting to see that the benchmark proves some hardware points. the GPU on the Rezound is superior (as it is on paper), but the cpu suffers since it is still based mostly on older cortex architecture. once the rezound sees an ICS upgrade, it will prove a formiddable opponent, especially since ICS actually takes advantage of said GPU and dual core CPU's.

Tbh even if it is on an older artchitecture it's a possibility this could be a refresh. Even if it is "older" I find that qualcomm cpus always keep up w/ the newer high end processors. Any performance issues has nothing to do with hardware, and this has been an ongoing issue with Android. No true hardware acceleration (ICS will change that hopefully) and heavy manufacterer skins. I'm sure AOSP or a stripped down version of sense and any lag this phone will be gone. ALthough I really haven't experienced any true lag, just UI slowdowns that have been mostly rectified w/ a 3rd party launcher.
the rezound uses a processor from qualcomm's S3 family, which are all based on cortex a8. the nexus/razr cpu's are based on cortex a9 architecture. the rezound will always be behind in that regard. htc knows of this limitation, which is why they've maxed out the rezound's cpu to 1.5GHz, to keep up with the more efficient competition. although, i have heard that the rezound's s3 is a hybrid of a8/a9, so who knows for sure.
where the rezound has potential is in its adreno 220 gpu, which is superior to the nexus/razr's power vr sgx 540. the sgx 540 has been around for far too long and should have been refreshed by now. it's even in my galaxy s phone.

So is it true that the GPU on the EVO 3D sucks? Or is outdated? I've heard some people say its actually worse than the NS4G's GPU. I want to play some demanding games so the GPU to me is important. How will it run N64oid and the PSX emulator? I'm coming from the hero so there is no question there, but if what everyone says is true about it being worse than the NS4G's GPU then to me it's kind of a disappointment in that regard.
I guess I should rephrase one of my questions. I'm asking how it will run the emulators because I saw someone using a SG playing on the N64oid and it seemed pretty laggy, and if i'm not mistaken that has the same/similar GPU to the NS4G?

The GPU in the Evo3D should be the best out right now. Supposed to be up to twice as fast/powerful as Tegra2. It does appear that some optimizations need to be done to take advantage of this GPU though, hence some of the early, low benchmarks.
The GPU is the fastest right now. NO need to specualte, it will be until tegra 3 comes out, but I think it will still match tegra 3 in most benchmarks. SGX540 is good but adreno 220 is faster.

well this cpu has a totally different desgin. if you look at the videos it is plenty fast, I highly doubt it would not be able to do that the samsung processor would be able to do, other than bench a little higher. If and when this phone gets ICS it will probably be better off because of the gpu it uses, I believe the gs2 still uses sgx540 and the adreno is certainly newer and better. SGX540 is still one hell of a chip, but adreno 220 is actually better.

This thread slightly confuses me. The OP mentions the NS4G in the first post, then we have someone coming in asking about comparisons to the Galaxy S, (S or S2?) and everyone answers about the GS2. Quick stat breakdown to answer whatever question is actually being asked here
Nexus S 4G has:
1.0 single core Hummingbird CPU
SGX540 GPU
Galaxy S has:
1.0 single core Hummingbird CPU
SGX540 GPU
Galaxy S2 (Euro) has:
1.2 dual core Orion CPU
Mali 400 GPU
Evo 3D Has:
1.2 dual core MSM8660 CPU
Adreno 220 GPU
(Infoz from GSMArena)
The Nexus S and Galaxy S are last generation's phones, so to answer the OP... No. The Evo 3d doesn't have the same GPU/CPU as the NS4G. Not even similar. It's a generation (Maybe even 2) up. The Evo 4g is slightly slower than the NS4G, and it's running a 1.0 snapdragon with an Adreno 200 (Not even a 205, which is in the next in line before the 220).
As for the GS2 Vs. Evo 3D, they're supposed to be on par with each other, with the GS2 maybe being a bit faster, since Qualcomm isn't the best with GPU's. (Personal opinion) However, AFAIK nobody has done any real testing on the Sensation vs the GS2 (same CPU/GPU) so there's no real data backing up that claim... The GS2 DOES have better benchmark scores though, so take that as you will.
Disclaimer: I found all the numbers on the internets. They may be wrong.
You can't really prove anything without having any concrete proof. There are still no scientific or a dedicated performance comparison with all the gpus found on a dual core.
I say all the post on this thread are just personal opinions.
The only thing we can compare now are benchmark results w/c are not even that credible.
Benchmarks(anandtech, quadrant etc)
1. Exynos
2. TI omap
3. Tegra 2
4. Qualcomm
5. Hummingbird
Now if only the qualcomm dual core uses cortex a9. I wonder why they choose cortex a8 instead of a9. Cortex a8 is so old hardware now
Don't worry too much about the a8 vs a9 thing...tje differences are not huge..45nm vs 40 nm .also Qualcomm heavily optimized the scorpion that it can actually perform processes that a9 can't..it will provide plenty of power..I would go into more details but that seems to upset some people on other threads

Almost all of the GPU benchmarks I've seen go like this:

2. TI omap
3. Exynos

Qualcomm uses a8 because they don't use the reference designs from arm. Snapdragon outperforms the cortex a8 reference by 20-30% making it pretty close to the a9 reference

This is true but your wording is a bit confusing. An "Apple A5" processor is a dual core a9 processor with a powervr 543mp2 gpu. An A5 processor is an Arm core made for ultra low power. Basically both the apple a5 and the exynos processor have have the same processor architecture but there are many other factors that can influence performance like the GPU, memory, cache, decoders, ect. In this case i think the main discrepancy will be the software thats so different between the two.

The iPhone is probably utilizing the processor to it's full extent, while Gingerbread (and Android in general) does a terrible job of utilizing the power of the hardware.
ICS should see a nice performance increase on dual cores.
OP is probably refering to the benchmark for gaming. It's not the processor that lacks on GS2. If iPhone 4S does come with the same A5 as iPad2, its GPU will smoke Mali400 in GS2 in almost every benchmark test (in most benchmarks, it is twice as fast as Mali400). Just checkout the review of Internationl GS2 by Anandtech.com with benchmark comparison of GS2 vs iPad2 and other smartphones. It is not the Quadrant or Linkpack benchmark but rather the professional benchmarks measuring fill rates and triangle thoughputs etc.
Processor performance wise, it is probably a wash because both are based on the same ARM design.
Although I do agree that benchmarks are just benchmarks, I am still surprised.
Is it true that Gingerbread only utilizes one cpu? And will Ice Cream Sandwich utilize both?
And BTW, I am by no means an Apple fanboy. I had been waiting for this phone to come out to replace my dinosaur BB 9000, so I wouldn't have to get an iPhone and deal with iTunes.
iOS5 > gingerbread. Sad but true.
Hope ICS comes out soon. It seems to be on par from what I hear.

I think I saw the benchmark in question - it was a GPU-heavy benchmark for a workload that most users won't experience 99% of the time. (It was a GPU-bound OpenGL benchmark. The GPU of the iPhone 4S IS faster than ours for 3D work - but unless you do lots of 3D gaming, it's wasted. Also, 3D is kind of a waste on a 3.5" screen.)
Apple has an extremely long history of misleading the public with selective benchmarking. Back in the Pentium II or III days, they claimed one of their machines was twice as fast as an Intel machine clocked at least 50% higher. While I agree that MHz isn't everything, there's a limit to that. In that case, on a single Photoshop benchmark that was optimized for PowerPC by using AltiVec and running non-optimized on the Intel chip (despite an optimized MMX or SSE implementation being available), the Apple did better - and Apple used that to try and make users believe the machine was twice as fast for all workloads.

Those are just plain synthetic benchmark, what does it mean for RL usage? not a damn thing.

Samsung announced that they have switched to high-k materials and metal gates (HKMG) and further claimed it can provide superior performance with less power than conventional poly-Si/SiON used at 45nm. Samsung demonstrated that Exynos 4212 (32nm version) SoC can produce 35% to 50% more horsepower than the older Exynos 4210 (45nm version). So clearly Exynos 4412 quad core wins the “CPU Horsepower” battle.

While they haven’t officially announced this yet, I believe the GPU is the same one they promised for the dual core 1.5 Ghz Exynos 4212 chip. They said that GPU had a 50% increase in performance over the current one in the Galaxy S2. This improvement is most likely possible because of the jump from 45nm for the dual core Exynos to the 32nm Exynos 4412 (they used the more efficient transistors to increase performance at the same or lower power consumption).

Also I wouldn't say it hardly runs, minimum of 20FPS, lots of optimizations to be done though such as LOD (basically chops poly count down on far away models).

Light maps could be baked into the texture
Normal maps removed.
Specular maps removed.
At the moment it's probably the same or exceeds the quality of Shadowgun THD.

People at the HTC sensation forum extracted Adreno 225 Drivers and used it on their Adreno 220 powered phones and they gained a huge performance boost!
as we know Adreno 225 is Adreno 220 with double the frequency (thanks to that new manufacturing process of the CPU also the GPU still using the same process...)
so can't someone extract the new drivers so everyone with Mali 400 GPU can use it?
Because S3's Quad-core GPU frequency is 400MHz. S2 only 275MHz.I am a Chinese grade 9 student andlooking forward to GS III.

sorry for my bad English. the frequency isthereason that some tablets with realtek rk2918 board(mali400 mp2)'s 3d performance is higher than GS II.because mali400 on rk2918 is400MHz but GS2 only 275MHz.

Just wonder whether clocking up the GPU might pose heating issues.

Antutu benchmark of Nexus 10
http://www.antutu.com/view.shtml?id=2960
Quite impressive because antutu depends much on the number of cores and clockrate rather than architechture (1.5 Ghz Snapdragon S3 got ~6600 while 1.4 Ghz Exynos 4210 on GNote had only ~6300)
And the NAND flash is pretty good too, 16.6MB/s write and >50 MB/s read (in fact my Note 2 has 200 point in SD card read with the mark >50 MB/s too, but this one is 10% faster)
I would love to see one of those fancy graphics comparing the Nexus10 performance with "the others".
We know that it's better but how much better?
And if you want more specs, here's two other benchmarks:

The 3D and 2D scores on the Nexus 10 keeps up with the other two devices which seems quite impressive considering the higher resolution.

Odd, why is the CPU on the Nexus 10 slower than the others? I thought that the A15 was supposed to be the fastest thing on the market right now, which would go nicely with the fastest GPU (Mali 604 or whatever it is).
Also, Scumbag Antutu forces the tablet into portrait. I would love it if Google could somehow force apps to run in landscape, apps should never be in portrait on a 16:10 tablet this big unless I deem it so by orienting it in portrait.

Need to keep in mind that the N10 is running at a MUCH larger resolution, that most likely has something to do with it. Had the processor been on the same device as the 4 and 7 you would see a substantial difference.

But I wouldn't expect the load of that higher res to go to the CPU, just the GPU (so 2D and 3D scores). Does the CPU get involved in video processing in SoCs?

Does the Nexus label mean that all drivers for this device will be open source? As in, none of the BS that the devs for the i777 are experiencing with Samsung completely unwilling to release specs for the Exynos/Mali combo in that device?
EDIT: Answered my own question. The AOSP site itself tells you to go get the blobs for specific devices if you want to build. So no. Ah well, my concern would be fully functional OS updates, and the Nexus label DOES solve that - at least for a couple of years after release.
These I/O results look promising. A lot better then the transformer prime I had.
While it's nice to see numbers and you should always take them with a grain of salt (for obvious reasons). I for one am just going to wait till I have my Nexus 10 in my hands and see how she flies. I have no doubts that it will run todays apps with no issues and last you easily for a year +. I for one am drooling over the display (esp if non-pentile). Just hope Samsung did something to address the possiblity of pixel fatigue and ghosting/image retention.

Because it's ANTUTU benchmark. As I said in #2, Antutu always prefer number of cores and frequency of cores rather than the architechture.
That's why the Crapdragon S3 1.5 GHz having higher score than 1.4 GHz Exynos 4210 in GNote.

What are you talking about. The snapdragon is a better architecture with less cores. You have it backwards.

Here are the benchmarks from Anand's review of Chromebook:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6422/samsung-chromebook-xe303-review-testing-arms-cortex-a15/6
I am almost sure that the N10 will be better optimized compared to Chromebook purely because of the resources dedicated for Android. Also shows that Samsung is still Google's preferred partner in terms of hardware.

That sun spider score is bad vs the chrome book must be the resolution which is high for even high end PCs.
The epic screen was always going to eat most of the resources, the question is: whatever benchmark the final (and in future surely improved) SW version produces, is it enough for smooth operation? That answer will most likely be yes. Chromebook shows huge HW potential, but it's also more optimized at this moment, patience my lads.
The hardware has the potential
Hi Guys,
Came across this while researching Exynos 5250. Looks like the hardware is very capable to handle the WQXGA resolution with memory bandwidth and power to spare. This white paper also mentions the support for 1080p 60fps wireless display. So I hope Miracast will be reality as well, just Google needs to step up and utilize the hardware to its full potential. Its an interesting read none the less..

This is a quick poll to get input on every ones feeling since hearing about Samsung unveiling the Exynos 5 OctaCore Processor at CES. Input your feelings and participate in the poll as to your next move since getting the news.
This thing surely won't fit in a tablet anyway without active cooling, so I don't think N10 owners should be worried.
Edit: I've read an article about it and I see it'll be eight-core because of having a big.little architecture, so it actually sounds pretty cool that way .
Yes (4) A15's for Intense usage and (4) maybe A7's for lightweight task. 28nm in size!
Tech marches on. We wont start seeing this for a while in tablets, and even when we do, so what? We still have one of the fastest CPUs on the market today, and it'll still be quite good by the time the octo-core variants arrive. Cores mean nothing without software to use them, and right now the majority of phones out are dual-core. So its not a big advantage.
I'd still consider this a quad core CPU.

Because it is. Its effectively two CPUs that can be switched dynamically. It might have really good battery life, but performance wise I doubt it'll be significantly better than the one in the N10.

It would be definitely better than exynos 5250 specially at the Gpu part 4x compute performance of Mali 604 (Gpu of n10) and 10x graphics performance of Mali 400 overall I expect it to perform at least 2x of Mali t 604 and surpass iPad4
:victory:
Also with 70% more battery savings than nexus 10
And in the cpu part a quad core A15 what could you want more
At least this looks good on paper

Sorry didn't realize that I didn't add a "My Nexus is the Best Option". I love my Nexus 10 a lot and I added the only good option as "XDA will iron out its faults" simply because although our tablet is the best Android tablet out there at the moment IMO due to the throttling of our processor I feel may'be they could have ironed out the HEAT issues before releasing the processor for our Tablet. I really hope Google has a huge update coming specifically made for this issue with our Nexus 10. Also once a lot more apps are optimized we'll really see the benefit of having our processor perform as it should.

Do you have any place that backs that up? Last I read (and I haven't read for a day or two), they didn't really comment on the GPU portion. Not trying to be a ****, I'm honestly curious.

Well search Mali t 658 on Google and go to the first link which should be from anand tech
And Mali t 658 is the Gpu that should be used here as the road maps show that exynos 5 quad would be paired with a Mali t 658 Gpu
---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------
Well ok some new articles show that the octa processor gives 2x(graphical) performance over previous generation exynos ie Mali 400 so it could be a Mali t 604 its unclear right we will have to wait for full details to release, otherwise A15 quad should have had Mali t 658 according to their roadmaps
I honestly wouldn't know what to do with an Android device that had 8 CPU cores... But if I could dual-boot (or replace) with some actual Linux onto such a device, then it might be very interesting
Samsung Exynos 5 Octa
This is the reason why i love tech world these days. Every thing comes so fast. It's like every tablet will only have several months to enjoy its fame before the new ones with much better specs arrive. I think Exynos 5 octa will be in Nexus 10 sequel from Samsung, with Tegra 4 in the Nexus from Asus, with the new Qualcomm chip in the Nexus 4.
Or maybe Google might decide to re-launch its Nexus line up in 2013 that will be armed with the newest chips from NVIDIA, Samsung and Qualcomm with the new brand names, say, Nexus 4S, Nexus 7S and Nexus 10S.
This will be interesting to see. Nexus maniacs will get like every experience that being offered on every Nexus device. No matter what Nexus' sequel you are gonna pick up, they will be great in performance and gaming aspects.

So, found a bit of an update. Apparently the Octa will be powered not by Mali, but by a PowerVR SGX 544MP3 (according to multiple sources, certainly not 100% confirmed as of yet). Apparently, that particular GPU sits between the one used in the A5X and the A6X.
Unfortunate that they didn't use something that would overtake the A6X GPU, but thought it was noteworthy that they're completely changing GPUs.

A lot of people don't realize that Samsung has a relationship with Imagination Technologies as do other chip makers, even those who make their own GPUs. Given how thirsty the Mali GPU in the Nexus 10 is, maybe the power vr equivalent will be more battery efficient. I know based on power consumption that the exynos 5250 is not really suitable for cell phone use in its present form.

At any rate, I think it would be up to Google or Samsung to release a patch or update to fix their thermal algorithm if its not using a true temperature reading. My device never feels hot. That's not saying much if anything at all but from other posts where people actually opened the thing up and tested temps, it is throttling much too soon to be correct. I think they baked the throttling in to increase battery life personally as this chip can burn through the battery fast if it was allowed to run 100% with GPU/CPU .

I thought the octa core cpus gpu is not confirmed yet?
And it will beat ipad 4 but not the upcoming ipad 5 which would be released around the same time the octa core device
My two cents

Apple and ti is related to it...
