So I just bought my girl a G2, and I am waiting for the tab. I was very impressed with teh speed of the g2 and its perfomance in all games. I was really wondering since the galaxy s scored even below the nexus one with 2.2 on it in a benchmarking review. how do you think the tab will do?
Everything seems to be the same from the galaxy s to the tab... so does anyone expect the tablet to perform slower than say the g2? Or what about aleast better than the Galaxy s?
Also is the chipset in the tab the same as the one in the galaxy s? Or are their minor differences?
I can assure you that the galaxy tab will be plenty fast on 2.2 I have a samsung galaxy s (captivate) running 2.2 and I never have lag you cannot compare the galaxy s series though quadrant scores as that benchmark is biased to the snap dragon processor which the galaxy s does not run on.

Quadrant scores dont count for everything, and its hardly biased, snapdragon does better at the I/O tests more than anything. My Desire on a myTouch 4G port is quicker than stock Android roms according to quadrant.
Make sense of that

lol, No it's not.
Stock vs Stock The G2 beat the Galaxy S at every bench mark I've put on them
(5 total) except CPU benchmark and those scores were 812 for the G2 vs 799 on the Galaxy S ( lower the better )
The g2 has the latest snapdragon, it will be a little faster than the galaxy s in cpu benchmarks once overclocked. This is what happens when google coded froyo optimization's for only one cpu type, before that we kicked snapdragon ass

JIT.
RFS.
go read up on those before you go around correcting people on what's better than what. Benchmarks don't mean a thing. There's a reason why people like Cyanogen don't trust them.
It's kinda hard or weird (or pointless) to compare SGS and Tab CPU and GPU wise, since they both have THE EXACT SAME HARDWARE as long as those are concerned... They both run on the Samsung-built 1GHz Hummingbird chip (that includes the PowerVR GPU). So as long as only CPU/GPU are benchmarked, hardware-wise the SGS and Tab are identical.
Now, comparing those two on a general level makes more sense as they are bound to have small software differences. (At least my Tab does not have the 'SGS-lag' present at all and generally feels smoother to operate)
tl;dr: Basically Galaxy Tab = SGS with different screen, no real point comparing these two extensively
But they must have done a lot of tweaking on the tab that has yet to be ported to the S(if it ever does....).
Seriously, the Tab is smooth as silk, runs like you'd want and as we all know, essentially the same hardware, 2.2 and even RFS.
Also, benchmarks are worthless. My Galaxy S, with Docs JPO 7.5 ROM, ULF ext4 lagfix (no overkill here, not a score whore) gets around 1500 on quadthingy. My Tab, stock, gets around 900-1000. Yet the Tab is sooo much smoother, even with all my tweaks on the S. linpack is pretty much the same (as you'd expect) and I can't be bothered after that.
The only test that matters, usability, favours the Tab.
If I could get the stock Tab rom/fw/whatever onto my S, I'd be a happy camper.
That and a decent browser (dolphin doesn't do it for me either, just don't like it, gotta try the firefox alpha/beta/whatever)
I think the galaxy tab gpu is clocked at higher speed than the s,using neocore it gives same fbs as. Galaxy s although tab has higher resolution and also tab is announced with 1080p playback while galaxy s is anounced with 720 p correct if im wrong
Both equally good. If size does matter, big and small screen, your choice. For me, tab is best.

tab performs significantly worse as it has a bigger screen to power + more pixels.
But the tab 8.9 and sgs 2 (dual cores) will be a good match!

my tab isnt smooth at all!
I preffer sgs.
how soon before an overclock kernel for galaxy note comes out? Perhaps one which could take it to say 1.8 or even 2 Ghz. I have an S2 right now that is overclocked to 1.6 Ghz and works perfectly fine. No glitches or hangs. The big new display aside, i don't think note offers anything too significant in terms of hard specs if somebody has a rooted galaxy S2, which is like almost everybody these days.
There are only two exciting thing on the Note which are: big screen and S pen. Most of people are buying it because of those two key things instead of running speed. Otherwise, lots of other phones can be choose at this days.

I think the focus should be on optimising the Kernel, ROMs first before overclocking as this would increase the efficiency of the Overclock.
Hi, so recently I flashed the Siyah Kernel on my S3 GT-I9300T. I downloaded STweaks so that I can do some tweaks to my S3. Then I went under CPU SCALING SETTINGS and changed the MAX CPU LOCK to single core (so that my S3 would run on 1 core to save more battery), but I was worried if it was going to do any damage to the core if it was under a lot of pressure (like playing heavy 3D games).
Thanks.

Tab Hangs Alot while playing music with game aur any type of multitasking browsing , emailing etc! Any solution for this 840 mb ram -__- aur any other solution! When it hangs it feels like it has one of the cheapest mediatek processer which cant handle such heavy things! Although it has one of the most powerful processer which scores 42,590 on antutu 5 -_- on my tab .And that score is huge! But it hang like galaxy y some times -__- ! Guys give any solution!

The RAM is exactly the problem; this tablet only has 1GB of RAM, so it sometimes has memory issues that slow it down. There's not much you can do except maybe go into developer settings and limit the number of background processes. I only use mine for gaming, so I leave it set to allow zero background processes.
Yeah dude there is no another option! sadly!
Will android L will be smoother?
Hello my Nephew received a Tab 4 7.0 as a gift and I'm just curious if there's any tricks for squeezing more performance out of it, Most of the games he plays run decent but a few run pretty choppy, in comparison these games run noticeably smoother on my 1st gen Moto G phone (Plants vs Zombies 2 & Minecraft).
I ran the 3dmark benchmark on both devices to get some numbers for comparison: http://i.imgur.com/QWRnclj.jpg & http://i.imgur.com/LZUGmn8.jpg
I know the Moto G isn't a "top performer" anymore these days either so I was surprised with the mediocre performance of this Samsung tablet.
Personally I would've went with a Nexus 7 just trying to get the most performance out of this Tab 4, If possible.
Thanks.
turn on developer options then turn off window animations. Also, check your power saving options.
Thanks we ended up ordering a 32GB Nexus 7 2013 and will be selling the Samsung, the Tab 4 7.0 is just to weak for today's games, at least the Tab 4 8.0 and 10.0 models use a more respectable Adreno GPU. (vs. the no name Vivante GPU in the 7.0).

Going with Nexus. Always a Good Idea. The Marvell SoC with the Vivante GPU dishes out mediocre performance at best - Utterly useless for gaming but decent enough for web browsing and media consumption.
Best of Luck.
Received the Nexus 7 yesterday and Wow what a difference, everything not only runs much better but it loads all apps noticeably faster, especially the larger games such as Real Racing 3.
Overall just a very snappy / responsive device.
Ran 3dmark on both: http://i.imgur.com/rhUaf9J.jpg
