Hi guys. Every app i use to get hardware info for my s3 gives me the result of cortex a7 neon processor. Antutu and voodoo the same. This device is supposed to have cortex a9 right. Can you help me with this issue how can i see a9 cortex or confirm my device is the right one. By the way country is turkish device has omega rom installed. Any help would be appriciated.

I need to confirm because s3 hardware settings change from country to country. Also there may be something wrong with my processor that i should get in contact with samsung. Thanks by the way for your response.

Do you mean it shows ARMv7? That's the CPU instruction set, and it comprises of most (if not all) architectures (A8, A9, A15 included). If it does say Arm Cortex A7 though I would be surprised because I didn't know such a product existed.

Yes antutu and android info apps give the info of arm v7 neon with quad core. Icannot attach the screen but thatd the result i get from both apps. Is there a way to confirm or see the arm 9 thing

What does it say under the "Device info" in antutu?
My SGS i9000 shows up as ARM Cortex A8 1 Ghz. Yours should show ARM Cortex A9 1.4 Ghz or something like that.

Edit: Actually forget that Antutu just shows the CPU model so it's probably not showing the instruction set. However in any case, if you're getting similar results benchmarking, it's probably the A9, just labelled incorrectly.

Well 9000 is a pretty good score so I wouldn't question that there's a wrong CPU in your GS3. Just have a look at the 3rd button (circle with an I) at the bottom of Antutu and see what CPU model it lists there. It should be a Cortex A9.

According to antutu
Cpu hardware is smdk4x12
Cpu model is quad core armv7 processor (vfpv3, neon)
Nothing mentioning arm9 or something like that

Let's not forget that the benchmark apps haven't been updated so only show the two cores and not all four...
Once the devs updated their apps then we should get realistic results etc.

Trust us, your phone is fine; it has the right CPU.
There's nothing to worry about!
Yeah just to repeat it again armv7 is the CPU instruction set which comprises of all CPU platforms (Tegra, OMAP, Exynos, whatever) and architectures. You don't have to worry about Cortex A7 because I don't think such a CPU ever existed! My i9000 uses an A8 so I don't see the i9300 using an A7!

Thank you very much.hope no priblem with my hardware. One little question more is 780 mb of max ram normal according to my task manager and device uses 500 to 600 of it usually.omega rim v4
GT-I9300 cihazımdan Tapatalk 2 ile gönderildi
It's entirely normal. Normally phone manufacturers advertise their RAM as what's physically there, and not by what's remaining for the user. The operating system, camera, software (touchwiz UX, smart stay and all that stuff) all take up memory so in the end you don't actually have 1 GB to use.
My Galaxy S was advertised as having 512 MB RAM but in reality its only around 380 MB when you factor in all that stuff I've mentioned above, and I'm using a very stripped down ROM and kernel at that...

Hy guys, a friend of mine who has a galaxy s2 told me that on his galaxy s2 always enabled the dual core, with CPU GAUGE i see that on my razr only one of two cores is on, there's a mod that enabled all the cores ? ( sorry for my bad english xD )
I just read the comments in Store. One Guy replyed that it shows 2300mhz on his S2
The most CPU Apps will show you just one Core but all 2 Cores working :thumbup:

The stock CPU governor is moto_hotplug which let's the second core sleep until needed.

I've tried to find some informations about the governors that we could choose in CPU Master. But maybe I was not looking in the right direction to find some useful Infos.
Can someone explain the difference between Hotplug, Ondemand, Performance, userspace and interactive (Moto-hotplug doesn't exist in the new GSM-leak)
I actually run the hotplug-governor, because it's the smoothest for me.
But my question is, which one is the best for performance or battery drain?

I found a (relatively) easy way to replicate the final result mentioned in Post 8 of the linked thread. Just for reassurance the second core is indeed there and functioning.
Download SetCPU from the Market, or here on XDA, install and run it. Go to the Info tab and scroll down. You'll see an option to Stress Test the CPU.
Before you click the option, start up a command window and adb shell into the phone.
Click the Stress Test option in Set CPU, a notification pops up saying it's testing
Enter : cat /proc/cpuinfo and hit enter
It should return a result similar to this:
[email protected]_spyder:/$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
processor : 0
BogoMIPS : 2395.62
processor : 1
BogoMIPS : 2175.33
Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee neon vfpv3
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x1
CPU part : 0xc09
CPU revision : 3
Hardware : mapphone_CDMA
Revision : 0000
Serial : 0000000000000000
[email protected]_spyder:/$
You can end the stress test as soon as this comes up by hitting the back button.
Hope this works for you
Yes, we need to make the system work hard enough to enables the second core, such as running benchmark, playing game or as simple as the shell commands which I demonstrated in that thread.

ondemand/interactive/userspace/performance - uses both cores all the time
hotplug/moto hotplug - disables one core when there's no load, and enables automatically when busy.
If you want the best performance, set your governor to performance and leave it at 1.2ghz
(though you wont feel any difference and your battery life will suck and your phone will be a hotcake.)
Can someone with an overclocked S3 1.6ghz or 1.7ghz please run Geekbench?
I want to see the score vs the new A6 which just got featured and i cant run overclocked myself right now.
Thanks
Is Geekbench an accepted Benchmark? How accurate is it? The scores seem to be all over the place with the Nexus 7 with the crappy tegra 3 beating the GS3 in one test while the GS3 beating it in another. Don't really trust it if the results change on the fly like that. haha

I'm getting 1854, 1574, 1292 respectively for 4, 3 and 2 cores. So the final score doesn't seem to scale that well with cores, which is obvious consindering there's single-core performance tests.

The A6 clearly and undisputedly has the upper hand here. The score may be lower but we're talking about vast IPC and frequency disparities here. The Cortex's are getting slaughtered in memory bandwidth.
And here's a 1704MHz bench for the hell for it: 2283 score.
Would be interesting if somebody with a Krait phone would run it at 1GHz and stock frequency respectively.
I hit 1800 at stock on Jelly bean Omega rom V26.
I might try and clock this phone and see what happens

Any benchmark tool will be 'all over the place' depending on what is running in the background. Yes, you can turn off wireless, BT, data etc., but apps will still be launching and closing in the background which will affect the score. After all, these are supposed to be multitasking devices aren't they ?
Also, it's an inaccurate score if you actually go and forcibly disable system apps that would be running on a stock device, just to get a faster score.
Best way to use ANY benchmark tool is to get the device as near to stock as you can (consider a rom flash / data reset followed by very basic config) and then run the test a few times and take an average score. When I run benchmarks (Antutu, Quadrant, Geekbench), my results are often 'all over the place', so if I go with just one test, it would be luck of the draw really.
That said, my average score on S3 stock, rooted, unclocked in Geekbench 2.3.4 is 1586.
Funnily, when overclocked, the average was 1537
im on official (unofficial ) jellybean im updating to the latest leak now then i will come back with results that rape apple a6 cpu hard and in the arse
1830 at stock is my best so far without optimising anything other than a reboot.
The scores are higher on everything other than Memory Performance which is where Apple have beefed up the SoC.

This benchmark tests a combination of single and multi-threaded tasks. So obviously it will be all over the place when comparing an A9 quad-core phone to an A15 or Krait dual core phone. The phones also run differently clocked/speed memory, so tasks which are memory intensive would give a higher score to phones with faster memory.
I'm running Siyah kernel on Omega v26.1 and consistently get scores between 2000 and 2100. Only over-clocked to 1600MHz though.

i was wondering...
from the information i know , the i9300 and N7100 are using same CPU , Exynos 4412, 32 nm
but the difference is that N7100's CPU has been set to 1.6 GHz but our S3 is at 1.4 GHz
so i wanna know if we OC it from 1.4 to 1.6 , will it be running stable as Note II without cause any side effect like unstable or reduce CPU physical lifetime ?
overclocking is stable till 1714mhz and for some till 1800mhz
so stability yes but cpu life hmm not sure i saw someone check his Cpu after a while there were some brown spots on that thing it was grilling

I am running the SIII on 1.6 GHz for quite some time, no problem at all. Cannot judge on the long term effects though, but at least 2 years it should do, after that anyway time for a new phone
I don't overclock anymore but some apps report the CPU as being 1600.
My guess is the cpu is underclocked for the s3 rather than overclocked for the note 2

Very good point, Samsung should not overclock it as it may cause freeze and instability.
So maybe it has been downclock due to battery reason to something like that? Because note 2 battery is bigger than ours...
