Hey guys , i'm from malaysia and it seems that my galaxy S2 is not running on the spec that i have been seeing on the net.
according to gsmarena, it is suppose to be:-
Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, Mali-400MP GPU, Exynos chipset
but what i found on my s2 from Quadrant Standard is a
dual core 1.2 (min freq 300 max 1.2) Arm v7 Processor rev3 (v71)
the board seems to be the omap4sdp
and importantly it iis NOT the mali 400mp Gpu but it is the
PowerVR SGX540 open GL ES-CM 1.1 version.
Does anyone has this kind of spec? is it right ? or does different country might have different specs?
I would need some answer and explanation cause i couldnt find a reason why the spec of my s2 is diff as from the internet.
Hello, what i'm asking about is your experience day by day in general performance between two different platforms:
1) Qualcomm-Snapdragon: MSM8255 45 nm ARMv7 1 GHz Scorpion, GPU Adreno 205 RAM, Dual-channel 333 MHz LPDDR2 (Es. Sony Xperia Mini 2011 model)
2) NovaThor: U8500 45 nm ARMv7 1 GHz Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, GPU ARM Mali 400 (single-core), RAM LP-DDR2 (Es. Sony Xperia U)
Seeing different benchmark in youtube looks like the Snapdragon overcomes generally, but in fact i need more accurate opinion, please share!
Thanks to all!

Is possible no one has an idea on it?
Mali 450 octa (the one rumored to be used on the note 3 ) VS PowerVR SGX 544MP3 (this is the one used on the Samsung galaxy s4 octa) ?
Which do you think is better?
Thanks

Tough one, from what i gather it seems that it is more sensible that samsung should use a tablet gpu in the note 3(eg.Mali-T604), the Mali-450 in an 8-core GPU while the PVR SGX 554Mp3 is a 3-core, the Mali-450 MP8 is a 2*Mali-400 MP4(not a very nice thing to do genii -_-) http://www.arm.com/files/event/3_ARM_Mali-450_Introduction.pdf so thats 2 x mali-400 benchmarks. according to http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/01...e-gcxxx-vs-powervr-sgx-vs-nvidia-geforce-ulp/ , texture pixel rate for the Mali-400 is 1.6G Pix/s for 1 core @ 400 MHz and the SGX is 1 G Pix/s per core @ 200 MHz, that means its 1.6 * 8 for the mali-450 MP8 and for the SGX is 2 * 3 **not sure here, could be 2*3 or 4*3** . Which means that the mali 450 mp8 is in total capable of 12.8G pix/s and the SGX 544 mp3 is capable of 6G pix/s AT 400 MHZ ONLY!! keep in mind that the sgs2 came out at 267 Mhz is something like that happened it would change the game completely. so at the same speed the mali-450 wins but i think it will consume alot more power than the sgx 544 mp3 since its 8 cores vs 3 cores, and i dont think u need that power in a 1080p device, so i feel it will be clocked much lower than 400 at maybe 200 or 250, giving it the same performance as the SGX at 533.
About mali 450 octa core?

Hey the mali 450 is not an octa 8 core GPU , it has 4 cores not 8!!!
it has 4 fragment processors and MAY BE SCALABLE TO 8. so there are not 8 because I checked wth arm in their forums :laugh::laugh::good:

actually there many different variants of mali 450 2,3,4,8 cores.
Also check this "http://www.notebookcheck.net/ARM-Mali-450-MP4.116281.0.html"
Arm mali 450 mp
Looking on the ARM site. It lists MALI-300, MALI-400 MP, MALI-450 MP. Nowhere does it list MP2 or MP6 or anything like this. The ARM site also has a diagram image of the MALI-450 MP. It has 8, I repeat 8! Fragment Processors.
Next!
Go to Wikipedia! Do a search for MALI-450 MP. You will get a page titled MALI (GPU). On that page, as it states in the page title, is a list of all of the MALI GPU's. The MALI-450 MP is listed as having 4-8 cores. The MP2, MP4 and MP6 variants have come onto the GPU as variants for the SoC they are running with. Listed is AMLogic with the 8726-M8 series (M801, M802, S801, S802) for the MP6 and 8726-M8B series (M805, S805) for the MP2. MediaTek with the MTK6592 Octa SoC has the Mali-450 MP4 @ 700 MHz.
So!
The literature and ARM specs have the MALI-450 MP listed with Multi Core Scaling of 1-8 cores. Wiki has listed as 4-8 cores. Therefore, how can anyone say that it is a 4 core? It is an 8 CORE GPU.
I am no expert and I DEFINITELY don't purport to know more than any of you guys. But I do my research! However, if you have evidence to prove that I am wrong, by all means, PLEASE!?! Present it. If I am wrong I need to know! Knowledge is gathered by going down the many paths presented, many of which appear correct to start with but can be false. This is the joy of learning. How else do we answer the myriad questions we have running through our minds.
how to overclock mali octa?
Can i ask a link or a list of all chipset, cpu, and gpu from oldest to latest because i don't know which is better like in
Chipset- NovaThor U8500, Qualcomm MSM8230 Snapdragon,Exynos 5 Octa 5410 etc...
Cpu-Cortex-A15, Cortex-A9, Cortex-A7 etc...
Gpu-Mali-400, Adreno 305, PowerVR SGX 544MP3, Adreno 225 etc...
so that whenever i canvas for a new phone and check the chipset, cpu, and gpu i know which is better.
Hi all,
I've always wondered which would be faster for daily use a Quad Core 1.5 GHz Processor or a Dual Core 1.7 GHz
let's assume they're both Snapdragon 400 processors
Which would be better
Thanks all

in my opinion is dualcore (when its good clocked and at best cortex a9 or a15)(Xperia sp) better than cortex a5 or a7 (moto g)
cause i tested both and i can say : i like the 2core cpu more cause most of all apps use only 2 cores and the xperia sp can bomb a xperia z with out problems and btw xperia sp or better a phone with s400 dc at 1,7ghz have adreno 320 and we know its better than adren305 (the s400 from moto g)
I was talking about Xperia ZR and SP... Lets assume they both have 1 gb ram ( even though ZR has 2 ) which would be faster
Based on AnTuTu benchmarks SP got 21950 while ZR got 20850
So does clock speed really win???
