[Q] OneX+ gaming performance compared to One XLi - HTC One X+

I have an XL and had an amazing time with Qualcomm and now I want to upgrade to the X+ but I am worried about the gaming area. Is it better than the XL or not because the X+ has 1.7 quad core but with the nvidia chip and XL has the Qualcomm one. So I was really confused.

Ok, let's get technical shall we?
Which model cpu does ur xl have (eg snapragon xxx msmxxx)
And how much ram do you have?

In this case, upgrading to the X+ would be wasted money (my opinion). Not that it's a bad phone, i'm very satisfied with my X+. But if you really want to upgrade for gaming reasons, you probably should go for a newer phone (for example with Qualcomm Snapdragon 600/800). Tegra3 SoC (especially the GPU) isn't that strong when it comes to 3D games. Also Tegra3 is made in a 40nm process (newer ones are in 28nm already) which results in high power consumption and heat output on heavy loads.

[Q] S3 Snapdragon vs S4 Snapdragon

Just wodnering how much difference in performance we will be seeing between the s3 and s4 soc. Both will be clocked @ 1.5 s3 is 45nm and s4 is 28nm a big jump there imo. So we should be seeing better heat as well as less power consumption. For the GPU's the s3 8660 has the Adreno 220 and the RAM is single channel DDR 2. The s4 is MSM8960 has the Adreno 225 (which claims up to 50% better performance vs the 220) and the RAM is dual channel. The single channel/dual channel RAM shouldn't make too much of a difference as I doubt there are any bottlenecks on the Rezound as one review was stating the possibly of. I guess we just have to wait and see once the s4 socs hit the market, although that probably wont be too long. I think the HTC Ville is going to be coming soon using the MSM8960 chipset probably, qHD display though. Seems to me that HTC and Motorola don't care about the time in between releases and just release phone after phone after phone. I'm not going to go into the whole they're a business blah blah, be happy with what you have blah blah. So any thought on the performance differences?
three's company, four's a crowd?...
The S4 will be MUCH better on the battery do to the smaller die size 28nm vs 45nm and also having 4G built in the chip set. So thats what is going to be really good about the S4 vs the S3. The 225 GPU is only for the second gen dual core chip and its going to be faster vs the 220(of coarse). Adreno 3XX is for the quadcores. The second gen dual cores should be clocked from 1.7-2.3ghz and should be some nice power houses compared to what we have now.
If the Rezound would have come with the S4 processor. I wouldnt even be considering trading in the Rezound for the Nexus. But....thats not the case.

Mm I think the first series will only be 1.5 -1.7ghz for the new dual core kraits. I guess we just have to wait and see if there just marginal or huge increases in performance. All these hardware bumps feel kinda unnecessary, although I am all for the smaller die size w/ integrated LTE. I really wish they would focus on the primary thing that needs work the software. I guess I really should just used to buying a phone and having it blasted down the next week or two in Android.

Bigger screen at lower resolution and the size difference is completely negated by the soft buttons in ICS, as the space taken up on the Rezound by physical buttons will be taken up by soft buttons on the Nexus. Usable screen area will be nearly identical.
The only thing the Nexus has over the Rezound is ICS at release and NFC.

LTE & Dual Core/Quad Core chipsets

Quick question. I was reading an article about the HTC One X. It supposedly will come with a tegra 3 quad core processor but not in the US. We will get a Snapdragon S4 dual core so it can have LTE.
Does this mean we are stuck with dual core Snapdragon's in the future? Why can't they add LTE to the Tegra 3? It seems like a pretty big difference in processors. If I were planning on getting the One X I would be pretty disappointed knowing there is a more powerful phone out there. Why do we get gypped compared to overseas??
I guess I'm just saying that there are a ton of different chips out there and I don't wanna be stuck with Snapdragon's forever just to have LTE.

This. People have this notion that just because a CPU has more cores that it is going to perform better. That isn't always the case. It has to do with architecture.

Cores do help in more simultaneous tasks taking place though, no? So if you're running multiple tasks, the Tegra can handle more of a load than the S4 would be able to?

Sure, but as anandtech said:
"Qualcomm's strengths are clearly single/lightly threaded CPU performance as Krait is able to offer some significant steps forward in that department. Tegra 3 can hold onto an advantage in heavily threaded apps, but I'm not entirely convinced that in phones we'll see a lot of that."
Basically, sure, yeah, there's a theoretical advantage, but what are you doing on your phone that necessitates four cores? And even then, the S4 doesn't perform significantly better or worse on multithreaded tests than the Tegra3.
By the time you need a new phone, there'll be quad-core Qualcomm processors. I wouldn't worry, at all.

It's like putting two engines in your car. It has the *potential* to go really fast, but unless your car is built to use two engines, it's not going to make any difference. Not the best example, I know. But it's simple.
As per the OP, we just don't have compatible LTE/Tegra3 combinations yet. Very bluntly, our LTE stuff sucks. (Which is why Apple passed on it with the 4S) Eventually, there will be an LTE modem that works with a quad-core chip, it's just not there right now. Like everyone else has said, in real world performance, you won't notice it anyway.
Nvidia is working on a Tegra 3 chipset with LTE built in I think I read.
Regardless, S4 is still a beast of a chip.
im glad the htc one isn't coming to verizon. it's stuff like this that makes our rezound outdated way before it's time. no one really "needs" a quad in a cell phone and im glad there isn't alot of quad core devices coming this year. both ces & mobile world congress were a big disappointment as far as im concerned.
IMO, the S4 dual core is an awesome chip. I am very skeptical about quad core battery performance. Due to technical advancements maybe they are superior. We will see soon enough.

still no good with limited. if you're not doing heavy multithreaded work you won't see much difference plus 4 cores means more battery consumption vs dual
Tegra = fail. The market is doing a good job with over hyping dual core and quad core. Some people think it's almost necessary to have dual/quad socs , when other platforms like w7 run just fine on a single core.
isn't the second core on resound usually asleep a lot of the time unless needed? now you can have 3 cores taking a nap
lol.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
most dual core phones only use the second core as a back-up or for HDMI only
thus making it pointless to have quad-core phones at the moment i ran everything just fine on my Thunderbolt which was single core and it out performed my stock rezound.. and yes quad core i presume would be a battery drainer cuz dual cores don't really even have that good of battery life and single cores r the same
and snapdragon has quadcores already and they r in the midst of working on 8core chipsets but that wont be out till late 2013 early mid 2014 so stick with what u have
all good things take time

Comparing The Tegra 3 and the Snapdragon S4 is like comparing the AMD Bulldozer chips with the current Intel chips. They put more cores on a die and call it "The Fastest" but when the benchmarks start showing up it falls short of a lower end, more efficient chips. In theory more cores = more power, but in reality architectural is everything. All the hype from people being like "MOAR COREZ OMG FASTER" is a bunch of bull...

CES and MWC are just teasers anyways. Did you see the Rezound, Nexus, Razr, Razr Maxx, Transformer Prime, Galaxy Note, etc at those events last year? Nope, you saw the Bionic which 7 months later was a disastrophy, lol.
Did veruzon say they weren't getting the one x? I know there is a new verizon htc phone on the road map.
I'm curious about the snapdragon s4 just because it has lte integrated.

Well the One X has the same processor as my laptop 1.5 gh quad core. The only thing I think my computer really needs the quad cores for is intense games especially my wii emulator, which probably could run on One X since it has the same processor as my computer.

It's also pretty dependent on the GPU. Not sure what kind of graphics card your laptop has, but that has a pretty substantial effect on gaming.
The One X has a great dedicated GPU, but it's still a phone. Not sure if it can really match up to an actual computer's graphics card, but I've been wrong before.

Sorry, but you can't just assume that because the Tegra 3 has more cores, it is faster. In most cases, the S4 > Tegra 3 CPU-wise, but the Tegra 3 > S4 GPU-wise.

S4 by far is a more efficient processor than Tegra 3
HTC One X has a higher resolution screen, which means it has a tougher job to do when pushing those extra polygons around and is probably why its scoring lower in terms of processing power, plus extra resolution of the One X makes it a slightly unfair to compare it with One S.
From what I've seen and read they are very comparable in terms of performance ..supposedly the s4 is a little more responsive in day to day operations like browsing etc..but the tegra has aa slight edge in gpu performance ..the krait is built on a smaller 28 NM tech. Which sounds good to me

The increase in resolution only taxes the GPU harder. The CPU in the One S still trounces the CPU in the Tegra 3, albeit not by much. In day to day usage, you won't notice the differences in speed.

Just because S3 and HTC ONE X has quad core doesnt make it act fast coz despite of the cores, the normal apps doesn need to use the quads. May be ull get better gaming fps and smoothness with tegra 3 but when its come to web browsing, stability and working potential the snapdragon chipsets actually does a lot of good work. Waiting for the LG Optimus G. Heard they used S4 PRO Quad Krait

Because cores != performance.

Because it's not about number of cores.
Typically the phones with more cores run them at slower clock speeds, canceling out the difference.
It's all about getting a BALANCED spec, which includes I/O rates, flash speed, memory channels, memory bandwidth, cpu cores, cpu power management latency and literally hundreds of other factors.
Both Sony and Samsung are tier 1 manufacturers, which is why they know how to spend money in the right areas when it comes to component costs.

The new gen S4 PRO comes in two form, Dual and Quad..LG Optimus G went with the Quad 1.5GHz and a shattering 320GPU. Its gona be pretty fast in 3D rendered games for sure and as its Qualcomm then u can very easily bet that there battery consumption will be less than usual Quads
Qualcomm doesn't use reference ARM Design. they just get the license for A9/A15.
They have their own Design like Apple with their SoC.
The Sony Xperia S has the MSM8660 which is a Snapdragon S3 (45nm, Single Channel RAM, Andreno 220 GPU).
The Sony Xperia T has the MSM8260a which is a Snapdragon S4 (28nm, Dual Channel RAM, Andreno 225 GPU).
The difference is also in the architecture.
S3 = Scorpion: This is the own Design of Qualcomm which is compareable with ARM Cortex A9
S4 = Krait: This is also designed by Qualcomm and is compareable with ARM Cortex A15
The performance of Snapdragon SoC's is incredible. Its not just, that Android is not yet optimized for Quad-Core SoC's but also the Design.
There are already benches available showing the APQ8064 which is a Quad-Core with Andreno 320 GPU. There is no compareable SoC at the moment and if I'm not wrong the LG Optimus G will get this SoC (Q1/Q2 2013).

For better GPU performance, i have seen Qualcomm betting more on MSM8960 than any other. I am waiting for S4 PRO MSM8960T chipset review (will surely be used over TABS only) lets see what it got. Didnt read nor know anything about APQ8064 model and i dont think dat we will get to know about that chipset unless LG releases their Optimus G. Xperia T has the AP series from S4 PLUS but S4 PRO is a total new ball game . Am guessing that the next gen S4 chips can easily be overclocked to 2GHz+ as my Xperia-S is already running on 1.78GHZ smoothly and its a Dual Core S3 . LG announced 2GB of ram for the Optimus G so, basically, 2GHz+ of overclocked QUAD PROCESSOR with 2GB ram is a must have for any enthusiast android developer/user. And if they manufacturer make it to a perfection than for sure its a must kept for the next 2/3 years as android for quads, wont be developed before that time but WITHIN that time. That 320GPU is already like a cherry on top so for now, am just keeping my fingers crossed to know how the battery will perform :fingers-crossed:. Then again, thats just my prediction and thoughts . As is said before, Qualcomm already won my faith over their chipsets . More like Dejavu ..More power work yet less power consumed

LOL S3 have Quad Core Exynos .. Tegra 3 is for HTC ONE X and Xperia T came with S4 Plus Dual Core Krait which actually has beaten S3 and HTC both to some serious extent. Hell, HTC ONE S beats one x to some serious level BOTTOM LINE : Qualcomm holds the authentic brain power for androids

Processor on the one x+

Will the tegra 3+ processor affect performance in any way? And what are its drawbacks as compared to snapdragon? Also does it have any advantages over the snapdragon?
Not really. The tegra 3 to be truthful is one of thebworst SOCs on the market. The krait s4/s4 pro both out perform it in every aspect. Be it standard voltage, dye leakage (smaller transistors 28nm, as opposed to t3's 40nm), performance at similar clock speeds (float point, multitasking, etc). I feel like nvidia really has no clue what theyre doing looking at the architecture for the tegra 3. TI's OMAP crushes the krait s4, and the exynos chipsets usually are on top of that. The only real drawback to having an exynos chipaet is the lack lf source documentation on sammys part which makes development difficult. But with all thats been going on regarding that it looks like thats about to change. Exynos with documentation is as good as it gets since youre getting a powerhouse CPU and GPu. The t3 has got an okay gpu at best. Sorry to burst your bubble :/ just stating facts

For me being USA ATT user would it then be best to choose the HTC ONE DLX instead of the ONE X+ due to the processors? Well neither are out yet so who knows if the US version processors will be any different. Just thinking with a 5" screen i'll need a back pack to carry it around, lol. Coming from an Iphone 4 3.5" screen to a possible X+ 4.7" screen is a huge jump in itself. Just can't stick with Apple after the huge let down of the Iphone 5 so making the switch as soon as these phones come out. New to all this stuff but had no idea Tegra 3 really that bad? Videos of the device look smooth and gameplay?
If you really wanna know about the power of the Tegra3, your gonna want to read these threads.

The first thread will be a general discussion on the international HOX and has a lot of information concerning the Tegra3. A lot of pages, over 930, but worth the time to read to understand the Tegra3 chip and what it is capable of as well as some info regarding the S4. The second thread has 60+ pages and is concerning gaming on the HOX. Well worth the time to read and see what all had to be done to get the full potential of the Tegra3. You also have to evaluate your choices this way. The Tegra3 is built with gaming in mind. The S4Pro is built with all around performance in mind.
