my S6 vs my laptop.. - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, does it make sense that my S6 gets more on geekbench 3 in the multicore test than my 5 years old core i7 laptop? my laptop gets 4400 in multicore and 2100 in single.....does this mean that the CPU in the S6 is more powerful or you can't compare them because they are different platforms?

Mobile vs desktop class CPU. Just let that sink in for a minute.

You do know desktop class CPUs categorize both laptops and desktops right? There can be differences in architecture, clock speeds, CPU nm size/limit, etc... but essentially the same CPUs can be used in either.
The OP's scores have to be taken into context of being compared to other like devices. I would assume these scores are not universal thus eliminating any direct comparison between a mobile cpu and laptop/desktop cpu.
It should also be noted that mobile devices simply do not have the capacity to output the necessary power to properly supply a laptop/desktop CPU.

Does not make sense. Your core i7 would still smoke your S6.

Thanks for the answers, but i think in the next couple of years the mobile CPU's will outperform these old core i7, i5, i3.....the mobile tech is growing faster than anything else...

Lol. Such technology. Much wow.
But seriously though you can't compare a smartphone with a pc, computers will aways be more powerful than mobile devices.

Well that's not entirely true. Huawei has mainly produced low end handsets here in the states. From everything I've seen and read, their handsets are emanating a quality on par with Samsung which says a lot. I think they're gonna do very well.

I have had experience with the Ascend phone which is a low end prepaid phone and I got to say at the time it released I think aside from a problem with the usb port (which evo 4gs at the time had) the build quality was decent and non-xda devs had it cooking with cm7
vanilla android was nice and with the decent dev support it had that low end phone was keeping up with more powerful phones.
that sounds amazing, but i doubt most people here would upgrade until they put a processor as fast as a i7 in teh phones

I have never heard of them really till recently, when they were at CES i believe with the thinnest smartphone. Then this news post.
The SAMOLED+ thing is a good point though, i look at other screens and theyre SO bland.

Maybe someday there will be a power efficient x86 processor in a phone but the medfield isnt it. Its a 32nm processor, but to match a 45nm ARM processor's power efficiency, it would have 28nm.

And where did you get that is has to be 28nm to match 45nm ARM? That's nonsense.

My apologies, guess I've read wrong! Anyways it seems like a great chip, but it still needs to catch up to arm power efficiency... and arm has plans for a 20nm process later this year and 14nm the next year... It will be very interesting to see how Intel plays its hand in the mobile phone realm!

Which would be better

I was wondering, What is a better phone? One with a single core processor or dual core processor?
Sent from my LT18a using xda premium
processor
well a phone with a dual processor because it has a bigger capacity and that means better performance. FYI they make phones with quad core processors
Well, it depends on what you're looking to do/get out of your phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I would say that a dual core phone will be more and more useful over the next short while. A quad core phone won't show its usefulness to the average person. The OS and the apps have to leverage the extra cores. But, dual core phones are already being developed for.
A dual core phone is twice as good as a single core phone.
Dual core phone is twice better...
Well all in all it depends what you aiming for like gaming or buissness etc...

GPU?

Hi i was having a big argue with a friend so Im asking this here
I'll take HTC wildfire as example at the whole post!
So I was saying that wildfire doesn't have a gpu. My friend said "not true....every phone has a gpu otherwise the screen would have no signal cause the graphic part can not be calculated"
so I said "in the wildfire the cpu calculates the graphic part "
He said "no....the cpu need a gpu to do it "
So I said " ok so he doesn't have a dedicated gpu " and he said that its impossible for a phone to have a dedicated gpu cause the case its not big enough to keep it in ....
So the point is
- for me wildfire doesn't have any gpu and the calculation of the graphic part belongs only to the cpu -according to my friend every phone has a gpu like the one in the nexus s or in any other top range phone ..
Thanks in advance for answers!!

CPU, GPU, APU, the lines have been blurred. It really doesn't matter.
You have soc "cpu" which contains a lot more than just a CPU, a5x is more a gpu than CPU, and APU designs that do both tasks well. CPU/GPU traditional systems are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Right, it doesn't have a dedicated GPU in it's SoC. Graphics processing is pushed to the CPU, which is why it kinda sucks for playing movies.
So it doesn't have a dedicated gpu or it doesn't have a gpu at all?!
Cause he said that a dedicates gpu its too big for a phone....

A lot of high-end phones have had dedicated GPUs for a long time now, the Krait S4 uses the Adreno 225 GPU.
Just like in bargain pc's, if the SoC doesn't have a dedicated GPU then it has an integrated GPU. You need graphics processing to have a screen, so its happening somewhere. You just get very bad results without a dedicated GPU.
The Wildfire runs MSM7225 at 600MHz I think, which has a cut-down Adreno 200.
All phones possess a GPU of sorts, although it is usually part of the SoC in modern smartphones. Even feature phones have a 'GPU', although it's usually just a basic Boradcom display controller with no 3D or video acceleration support
So I'm now thinking about the tegra 3 .... it does have an integrated gpu right?!

Ok so I'm not understanding .... tegra 3 doesn't have a dedicated gpu but, of course, it does have impressive results...

We're entering the realm of SoCs now. Tegra is both a CPU and a GPU at the same time.

I'll generalise for you:
In all modern smartphones, no matter what SoC is used, a 'piece' of the package is the GPU. Technically, they are integrated. This is common across all manufacturers, as separate chips for everything wastes power and PCB space.
To answer your question, in terms of contruction there are no differences. Adreno 200 is a small 'piece' of the MSM7225 chip, while whatever Tegra 3's GPU is called is a small 'piece' of the Tegra 3 chip

Why do you want quad core so bad?....it won't necessarily be better for gaming. GPU is something you should be more interested in. Quad core just eats a ton more battery and isn't going to necessarily give better performance. I say Nexus 10 all the way....plus you get the highest resolution screen on a tablet by a long shot.

thanks. amatris
I own an Asus Slider, but I recommend you Nexus 10.
The Nexus 10 wins hands down. Samsung has proven time and again how slow they are to keep up with Google in the Android Race. I would rather put my money with the company responsible for Android that Sammy who trips over their own broken promises. The specs are close, the price is better and the tablet will destroy anything you put in front of it.
Cheers.

Exynos octacore Sansung vs htc one snapdragon 600

I know that samsung galaxy S4 has octacore processor ...and it is octacore processor...and snapdragon 600 is also in the market..
I just want to know which device should I prefer octacore or snapdragon 600..
Further I have heard a lot of things about the cheap build quality of Samsung and heating effect of exynos processors and it is closed source so not devloper friendly
So please explain in detail which one should I go for samsung octacore processor devices or should I go for snapdragon 600
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
Snapdragon 600 are better than exynos octa core processors cause exynos processor gets very hot, my friend has Galaxy S2 which gets hot very quickly after some time of use but there is no problem with snapdragon 600 processors and they also are power efficient and the difference between the performance of the both processors is negligible.
And what about exynos being closed source

Exynos getting hot, I've played with 3 different flavors of the Note2 and they never got running at the stock clock speed.
Since there are no released phones with the Eynos Octa processor it's hard to say. From what I heard it uses 4 cores specificly for low load states and then jumps to the other 4 cores for high load states. It never really uses all 8 cores at once. So I don't think the Octa core is going to be a huge performer over the Snapdragon 600. In the US, we will probably not see the Octa processor for sometime, Samsung is going with Qualcom for the US.

Is there a possibility that they maybe redisigning the A15 in the near future for more efficiency? Thats maybe one of the reasons that they didn't put it in the S4 on release date, or am i wrong on this?
