confused on gpu statistics..

Hello dear atrix 4g community!
I am seriously thinking of purchasing this device ,but the yesterday's ipad gpu perfomance I was baffled..
so I would really appreciate some answers on tech info before I make a purchase..
tegra 2 includes a single core gpu while ,from what I read sgx543 is around 50% faster than tegra 2 per CORE! 2 cores included in said product..don't get me wrong..atrix is already plenty..no...more than plenty fast, but paying all that money for a device outspecced by 200% ,a week after release,just does not sit well with me..so my question is....are those numbers I hear/read real,and thus should wait for a tegra 3 phone??especially considering the locked bootloader which equals NO rom support other than motorola's (rotflmfao) ...please share your knowledge!thanks in advance..

I may be wrong, but the Tegra 2 has 8 gpu cores, while the Ipad 2s has 16...
Should be at least 150% better

Well a single core SGX540 keeps up with the 8 core ULV GeForce in the Tegra 2, and the SGX543 even in single core form outperforms the 540 by a wide shot so...

Don't be this guy:

anyway,back to serious so what I had read so far was true..I guess I will wait...wow.it really must be weird though...I believe that actually all ces 2011 were outpaced only a few days after the event ended..what must be even worse is the adreno 220...what a joke, 400% less fillrate per CORE vs the competition, yawza..anyway,motorola has a history of bringing ti powered androids, I will wait for one of them I guess or wait to see how tegra 3 will do..

Lol, just putting this out there. If you try to wait for technology to stop evolving, you're screwed. Don't not buy one product because of something coming down th line. The Ipdad 2 will suck in august compared to kal el. The adreno 220 will suck compared to adreno 300.
You have to realize most modern tech has a shelf-life of maybe 3 months. The only exception ever was the HTC evo, which is still a good phone due to it being so far ahead of it's time.

I understand this well my friend..I am not looking for miracles...just this time around, t2 phones got outpaced in pretty much a week's time...so that has to be factored in,when you are paying this type of budget..am I right?I am not looking for a perfect phone,but not one left two generations behind either,by the time of purchase (again..I am not saying that t2 is slow..I know better than that )

i have seen samsung galaxy s3 in youtube video but the phone doesn't look silm as it was first caught on the first image leak

Guys, afaik this isnt the galaxy s3, I think its the samsung galaxy m. I dont think samsung would bring out a updated galaxy s2 with 2 additional cores and a higher resolution display and name it galaxy s 3.
Nope guys, Mali 400 is nowadays not really modern. If this would be the galaxy s 3 I wouldnt buy this But its the galaxy M and its ok But I'm waiting for galaxy s3, so hopefully there will be some nice specs.

it was sgs3 ... in 16th December 2011
a ****load changed since not to mention the dummy case
and yes baattery was from M
https://twitter.com/#!/BoskiByczyByk/status/193418391107801089

In my opinion, it's definitly the Galaxy M.
I'm pretty sure that the new Galaxy S III is the GT-I9500.

Whatever it is, its ugly as hell.
Sure hope this really isn't the s3.
Hoping for something kind of like the gnexus with all the bells and whistles the gn is missing (more mpx, sd card, removable battery, none pentile samoled, etc)
Anyway, i was happier to see the blaze coming out. Proper updated phone within the 4'' range instead this latest trend of huge slabs of plastic, even if it isn't winning any beauty contest...

it's a 100% fake...

wow i'll buy it when come in italy!!!

Lots and lots of fake leaks been around s3 a long time now.. i think i just wait for official release notes and when its released i read what it got and probably buy it
I mean the thing is that new phones got quite a lot of power to do anything but the real question is how is battery life and how big screen you like.
So far the galaxy S been faithful phone with oc and very damn nice roms so i could get more from it than i imagined. As long as s3 got great battery life and all other things way better than other phones i really am going to buy it

If this is the real deal (or a rendering of it), I just wish it had buttons that are in a dedicated area below the main part of the screen like the HTC One X.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - GSM Arena

GSM arena has some info on what might be N2.
And I just bought a S3 due to the rumors.
5.5" screen
Also rumored is an 8MP camera with improved sensor, as well as 1.5 GB of RAM, along with a new Exynos 5250 chipset, featuring a dual-core ARM-15 processor. 4G connectivity will allegedly come standard for all international units.
---
I think that the N2 atleast should have a quadcore at 1.6Ghz, 2GB of RAM...
But, let's see what hapends, I have ordered the S3 (With a Beats Pro headset ) and if the N2 kicks ass...I might sell the S3 again for the N2...
Source:
http://www.gsmarena.com/galaxy_note_2_allegedly_scheduled_for_october_2012-news-4334.php

I dont think n2 will have quad core and 2gb ram,
first, if n2 use top spec, what is the selling point for s3/4?
Second, now quad core is base on a9, the mentioned dual core is base on a15
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app

if it goes with quad cpu like s3, then resolution will be the same, if resolution will be same, no point to make bigger screen.
So in my theory:
if goes with 5250 eynos, resolution and screen will be bigger
if with quad cpu, resolution and screen will be same

haha, I was right with my comic strip day before yesterday at the Note 2 rumormil thread.

GSMArena used the same source as the other guy who posted this in the general forum.
It's bogus.
Go read it. It's completely ridiculous.

This is how rumors get started.
A blogspam site ("ubuntulife") posted poorly written speculation a few days ago. I believe mobilesyrup picked it up and now gsmarena.
This is basically the equivalent of the blind leading the blind. Except in this case they're stupid. But maybe also blind, too.
This is also why "blogs" and "bloggers" aren't respected. They don't follow the tenets of journalism, aren't double checking their facts and sources, aren't expected to have any sort of journalistic integrity, have no accountability, don't follow style guides, don't have knowledge of the law regarding what/when/how they can write certain things and never had to attend school and/or receive certification to blog.
I expect this bogus "story" to fully make the rounds of the Internet.

you should know that it just will be a 5.3" version of the S3 ... Samsung arn't stupid and know we'll all buy it... that way the can save newer tech for S4/N3

Not necessarily. It depends on what their competitor's offerings are at the time. Samsung may be forced to move in the dual core A15 2.0ghz by end of the year depending on what HTC, Apple, Motorola shove into their devices.

When you think about it it makes sense to have two flagship models from a business point of view then they can almost always claim that they have the best hardware
And with that logic we can't make any prediction about n2 hardware until we see what competitors markets as an s3 killer
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I think the S3 and Note 2 will tackle 2 different markets - the more tech guys/teenagers and especially people who already have an S2 will opt for the most popular phone by following the market trend, which is the S3. While business users/people who take notes regularly & those who prefer larger screen, will opt for the Note2. If you look at all the Android phones that are released recently or will be released, there is not 1 single phone that is appealing except the S3. It's a win/win situation for Samsung and the company seems to be on a winning stride with its flagship phones.

My guess is Note2 will be sharing the same hardware (SoC) as the SGS3, like they did with the SGS2 and Note1, i would be happy with it, but if i may choose i rather have the dualcore A15.
Only time will tell...

iPhone 5 catches up to flagship droids in first Geekbench scores

There was plenty of speculation what kind of CPU powered the new iPhone 5 and in the end it turned out to be a custom Apple design. So, how well did the Cupertino-based company did? According to an unverified Geekbench results, A6more than meets the 2x performance increase Apple promised.
The results are nothing short of amazing - the Apple A6 chipset has two custom cores rated at 1GHz with 1GB of RAM and it easily stands up to quad-core Cortex-A9 and dual-core Krait designs running at 1.5GHz.
The iPhone 5 has more than double the CPU performance of the 4S, beating it in every category that Geekbench tests. The RAM has gotten faster too. Even the A5X in the new iPad can't compete (understandable as A5X only improves GPU performance over the A5).
As for high-end Androids, Exynos 4 Quad and Tegra 3 based phones like the Samsung Galaxy S III and the HTC One X manage to outperform the iPhone 5 if they are running Android Jelly Bean. Under Ice Cream Sandwich, the performance of the One X drops down to the levels of the iPhone.
The HTC One S and its two Krait cores manage to match the iPhone 5 under Ice Cream Sandwich, so it should come out slightly ahead.
Just for fun, here's a dual-core Pentium 4 541 (Prescott architecture) downclocked to 2.4GHz matching the performance of the iPhone 5. This CPU came out in Q3 of 2004.
If these benchmark results do turn out to be from the iPhone 5 (results can be faked, so take it with a grain of salt) then Apple must have worked some serious magic. The Apple A6 chipset makes even Krait cores look slow (again, it's 1GHz vs. 1.5GHz).

See... How many S III scored lower than 1601...
All with JB leaks beats iPhone 5 score...
i think the benchmarking tool is a bit of weird. The One S also scored 1.5k... Not X but S.... S4 processor. Maybe it does not really use all the 4 cores?

the benchmark tool is useless... its more OS based then anything... change your launcher that u use and u'll get a different score every time...

I think you need to learn how to read geek bench the majority of iPhone 5 score is in fast memory the processor is still pretty slow by itself. Also mod please close this thread all iPhone threads crash and burn.

why people open everyday same **** again again(@OP : Is apple marketing team has ordered open new thread everyday?). the iphone 5 have nothing new. just to say thinnest and tallest (but these kind of models already available years ago. ). If you want compare iphone 5 to galaxy line you have to compare it with galaxy s, sII or galaxy sIII mini. It's not worth it to compare to with sIII.
(By the way iphone5 cpu and memory provided by Samsung.)

I think they used the US S3 which is dual cored, instead of the international S3. That's why the scores are lower.

1.Why post this on here?
2.A newer phone that is somehow faster....really? is that how technology works, well if it is then I guess the SGS4 to be even faster, and the SGS5, and I will go as far to say that the SGS24 will be greater still.

i think a lot of you who post Samsung s3 vs. whatever is insecure and are those who always want to have the best or be the best. People are competitive by nature but being obsessive, wasting your time and energy on products that serve the same purpose is a bit overkill. My advise is to find a cure for the disease you have. Just enjoy your phone.

Looks decent, with a 1.5 GHz processor, and 1 GB of ram. I like how its quite smaller then the usual Android gaming devices, which tend to be to big to even fit in your pocket. Share your thoughts.

Cool, but, is not real alternative for me yet.

Thanks for keeping us informed on alternatives to the xp.
8gb storage, Micro TF card and no Bluetooth are killers. No specifics on playtime per charge. Also these things always have terrible descriptions. Hire a translator. Ex: Conflicting spec. page. One line says dual speakers another says single.
