I think it would be possible with the quad core 2gb ram model as it has the same specs as the note 2 and that has been seen at 2ghz
im what Willis was talking about

Feel free to try it but I have a feeling that the phone will reboot because of overheating buy try it and let us know...
Intact why the f would you want it a 2ghz our phones are phones not blumming computers ... most mobile games don't even touch our phone... but like I said try it ... it would be a gimmick type thing

Mine reboot after 1.8ghz so wouldn't recommend it

Personally i would say you can but i think that would be pushing it a little bit, a friend of mine has his at 1.7ghz and its not buggy or laggy so probably no higher then 1.7
Hope i helped if i did please click the "Thanks" button

When s4 is coming, it would probably have 8-cored processor. So when it does, can s3 compete with it...

Siyah Kernel allow up to 1.8Ghz . I believe it is possible however I do not believe it's safe. Overclocking that much might cause the device to over heat not forgetting the Battery drain issue that you will be facing as the battery isn't optimized to endure that power .

But you can only use quad at any one time on that processor as well.

Mine runs smoothly at 1.8ghz and i would give it a kick to 2ghz if i would've known how to do it

Did you underclock it? Would love to try 1.8, but it never worked for me..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Myn also runs smooth on 1.8.
Have it for 3 months now without anny probs.
Everything in sttweaks like it is only oc. to 1.8 so no ov.
Temp always around 35 degrees Celsius and white heavy apps like navigation sometimes around the 48 degrees.

How did you manage to run it smoothly at 1.8ghz?...i tried that but it just kept freezing everytime.

Not every phone is the same. I have gotten a 1.92 GHz on my old Captivate. Not a lot of people could even get close to me.

my only question is why?!!!

Because

If @Yank555 or anyone that knows how to build/modify kernel could make a kernel with 2ghz, I would be happy to test it

This has nothing to do with the original post, but is there any known issues running the s3 in 1.6 GHz for daily use?
thx

No, all works fine.
In 1.8 it starts to get laggy.

Sweet. Thanks for answer :good:
Will try to set it to 1.6 than, and hope for good results

Lagging CPU

Is anyone else CPU clocking at 1.188mhz
Or 1.1GHz instead of 1.200mhz or 1.2Ghz. I used antutu benchmark on the market and clicked info to see the CPU frequency. I'm taking swapping it out at radioshack.

My 3D shows the same thing.. Just as my 1.0GHz Evo 4G showed 998mhz. Your phone is running perfectly normal.
That's wierd... I'm showing 1728Mhz!

I just wanna be sure I'm reading this right... Op is complaining about 24mhz? Seriously? As in 12mhz per core? I don't think that its gonna make much difference in the performance of the phone.... That's like complaining that your car was advertised to have 1200 horsepower but you only have 1188.... Oh darn those 12 little ponies!

That's normal, just the way processors work it is very rare to get an exact number. You will be wasting your time taking it back because they are all exactly the same.

its normal, stop worrying abou it too much, some programs read it differently then others. Mine says the same thing, is it really worth the trouble exchanging, some of you guys just amaze me on how picky you get lol.
is at 600mhz because the evo3 misses a core

My most recent one OC'd to 1.8 and on Nils latest rom I got a total of 7,618.
That's amazing! I haven't seen a need to OC though, phone runs smooth as butter for me on CleanROM ICS.
Push it to the limit if you can, why not? I have the extended battery and I'm a speed freak (no, not a meth head lol) so mine is always at 1.8 GHz and 100% brightness.
over clocked. lol
Not as high as you guys, this was on clean rom dev only overclocked to 1.7
I am running CleanROM ICS 4.2.2 and got this today. It is the highest I have gotten yet.
I quit running this meaningless app a long time ago when I realized the score could vary by over 2000 points without the phone performance varying even the tiniest bit.......
Ok here's my best score with CleanROM 4.2 Pro oc to 1.836MHz

That's nothin. I got this score on Antutu back in 1985.
LOLOL No really, this is mine running Sebastian's OC kernel at 1836

No, normal behavior. It only comes on as needed. (well, should.)
Should come on when the load on the processor increases more. Check the Times tab up at the top right of that screen after you've done something processor intensive like loading up a game. Will probably show a few stats for the second core as well.
Forcing the second core on is not recommended either.

yep. second core is only used when needed. like a computer, the phones first core is primary but if it feels it cant hold up it will turn on the second one.
Some processors are designed to use all cores at all times.
This one only uses the second core when it's under heavy load.

System tuner can force 2nd online.

ICS could definitely use it. My games are more choppy and laggy since ICS. I know GB couldnt utilize second core because the kernel didnt support it. Youd think it would try to use it with the Sense lag... Lol
In my experience, undervolting doesn't do much to improve battery life. All these new Sense kernels are fun to play with, but they haven't done a thing to improve performance for me. And I've tried all the recommended settings that are supposedly great.
And yes, they may work fine... But I can't say any of them were noticeably better than stock. In fact, most were worse.
But, the flasher in me will continue to experiment. It's just what we do.

Yea but how do you use it? I see people saying like I do 75 across the board does that mean they are just hitting the -12.5v till it equals 75 total lower volts?

Will an Overclock to 1.7+gHZ be available?

I need it cuz I'll get a ONE x+ which has 1.7 preloaded. Also with loop device pls?
Snapdragon S4 pro 1.5ghz vs Tegra 3 1.7ghz. What is so important that you need that extra .2 ghz?
Forget 1.7 I need 1.8 or else!!

Clock speed isn't everything. Krait does more work per clock cycle than tegra.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
1.7 GHz should be possible. Stock + or - 200mhz is typically most stable, but it could go up to 1.8 or 1.9. That could murder battery life though. We'll have to see when we get custom kernels.

Benchmark score less

My S3s bench mark score is significantly less compared to the given score. Around 900 points less. What could be the problem? Galaxy S3 India. So what do I do? I'm running stock ROM, not rooted, hard reset done twice.

Does the phone feel slow?
Nope. But a few high end games lag on playing continuously for more than 45 min. And the phone gets really hot.

Just the cpu throttling, bound to happen with a device that has no cooling, especially if the ambient temp is high

Heat is to be expected. Benchmarks dont really mean anything. Our phone is no way near high end when it comes to gaming capabilities.
But "Dead Trigger" is supposed to be within its capabilities right ??

As long as you're not adding the Tegra effects, yes it should be. I always find when hacking in the tegra capabilites, it kept freezing
