Best processor

Which is the best processor of these?
i) Snapdragon
ii)ARM Cortex A8

Most likely the Arm because of its gaming score and all that animation stuff. The snapdragon is a beast at CPU speed though. So I guess its opinion of what u want?

Snapdragon all the way!! as its pretty much similar to Cortex-A8, but has better performance altogether

Complicated question....
Which coretex A8 are you taking about? The one in the sgs or droid? And which snapdragon? Depending on the generation/series of chip they are pretty similar.

The adreno gpu in snapdragon is a dog. The cortex power vr ones are far better. As far as the CPU, it's much the muchness...

Core i7 and the top model of that series.

So far the most power i have seen in a mobile phone cpu and gpu...
Dualcore cpu. Nvidia tegra2 gpu.
That little tegra chip is severely aggressive.
I love the way it can stream several sources of video at the same time.
Plus the ability for dual view... on a phone.. A phone!
Too awesome.

Nvidia Tegra

tegra isn't the cpu, tegra is a dual core cortex a9

these votes make me laugh, the cortex is a much better processor. Hence why androids technology is going towards cortex currently...

Snapdragon = a8 CPU. BUT, the GPU is much crappier. However, if you have a device without a very high Res screen and you don't play games, you won't notice the difference.

Apple first to market with A15 Cores.

Well look like Apple is first to market with A15 Cores.
I really didnt want to see this tbh since A15 was possibly worst thing that we could have seen in Android v Apple
Those cores will wipe the floor with anything A9 based even if its just a dual core CPU.
Bummer.
Samsung would have seen this coming since they are the fab for Apple.
I wonder if Samsung will respond with an A15 2GB ram S3 variant.

That website is false. S4 pro's are based on Krait processors which merely have some architectural similarities to the A15.
Kraits are much better than A9's butThe A15 pretty much blows the Kraits to smithereens.
Having said that - and putting aside heat/throttling issues - The Quad Krait + Adreno 320 combo is quite a bit better than anything out there, enough to be termed "next gen" IMO.

A better way to look at it is that the Krait (S4 Pro) and Cortex-A15 processors are both based on the same architecture, which is ARMv7. Neither one is anything completely new, since many of the latest SoC's have built around ARMv7, but neither one has made the next step up to v8.
In general I would say that the Cortex series are better than the S series spec-wise. For example, Krait has an smaller pipeline (11 vs 15) and half the cache of the A15 (16kB + 16 kB L1, 2mB L2 vs 32 kB + 32 kB L1, 4 mB L2), but a larger pipeline and cache don't always make something better.
I think its fair to say that the Krait is like A15's little brother. Maybe not as powerful, but from the same powerful family.

Nexus 4 is still a significant improvement over the Gnex. I've enjoyed my Gnex but plan to purchase the Nexus 4. Hardware is improved and the price is right. Time will tell if the battery life is a major issue (I did upgrade my Gnex battery to 2000mah). The nexus line is a developers phone and is not intended to blow the doors off the competition.

Note 2 and Beyond: Exynos 5 (big.little) Octa-Core

What do you all think?
CES: Samsung unveils an eight-core Exynos 5 smartphone chip
Hints at a superfast Samsung Galaxy S4 / Note 3
LAS VEGAS: KOREAN HARDWARE MAKER Samsung unveiled its eight-core Octa Exynos 5 processor at CES on Wednesday, which is likely to feature in its Galaxy S4 smartphone.
Making up for its lack of high profile announcements at this year's Las Vegas consumer electronics show today, Samsung unwrapped the eight-core chip designed for use in smartphones and tablets.
Samsung said that the Octa Exynos 5 chip is much faster than its previous processors including the Exynos 4, and boasts much lower power consumption. That's because the chip is split into two sets of quad-core processors that both use ARM's new Big.little processor technology, pairing an energy efficient ARM Cortex A7 chip with a more powerful Cortex A15 multicore chip.
According to Samsung, the chip is faster than its Exynos 5 dual-core chip that features in the Google Nexus 10 - presently the fastest Android handset available on the market today, and claims it will bring a new level of processing power to mobile devices. It said that this chip will also bring a much more impressive gaming experience to its next generation mobile products, and will easily handle HD media streaming.
That's not to say your next Samsung smartphone will have poor battery life though, as Samsung claimed the eight-core processor is up to 70 percent more energy efficient than its previous Exynos chips.
There's no word yet on when Samsung's eight-core Exynos 5 processor will start shipping, but we'll be very surprised if it doesn't appear in the firm's next generation Galaxy flagship smartphone. We're likely to hear more at the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona next month.

Android does not lag one bit on Nexus 4 running AOSP!
But this is actually a Dual-Quad core with a powerful Quad Core Cortex A15 combined with Quad Core Battery efficient Cortex A7 and the cores get switched in terms of workload so it can save battery more that normal Quad Core processors.

It has 4 low-power Cortex A7 cores to handle easy missions and save battery. Especially when screen is off.
Check out Tegra 3, only the 5th core is working when screen is off, and the battery barely goes down!!

Sent from Samsung Galaxy Note II

for those who dont know, here are some of the interesting facts.
* The Octa-core CPU has 8 Cores, 4 A15 cores and 4 A7 cores
* The A15 cores are tuned to perform better by sacrificing battery life, and A7 core is tuned to be more efficient while sacrificing performance
* Even though the A7 is less powerful than A15, it is more powerful than the Cortex A8 cpu found in last generation phones. Still it uses almost 1/10 the power of Cortex A8
* Exynos 5 can operate in two modes. big.Little and big.LITTLE MP mode.
* In normal big.LITTLE mode, only 4 cores (or less) will be active at a time. The OS will not be aware of the Low power cores (just like in Tegra 3)
* In big.LITTLE MP mode, the OS knows that the CPU have 8 cores. It can use all 8 cores at once if there is demand for it. (My understanding is that android will not support this mode as of now)

People need to realise something.
Samsung could make a processor with 100 a15s for the gs4. It wouldn't effect the battery a bit unless the software was configured that way.
Almost everything on a processor is now power gated in the silicone, meaning it can be switched on off at will. A power gated section literally draws ZERO power.
So 100 cores would make no difference if only 2 of them were ever really used. It's just the amount of money Samsung want to spend on the silicone (smaller chips have higher yields since there's less chance of defects affecting the chip).
The die size (the amount of silicone used) for the A7 is tiny. Depending on how smart Samsung is (and how much coffee we can feed to devs like Gokan and AndreiLux ) , we could be looking at a powerful, highly efficient chip. Considering we're also looking at shrinking from 32nm to 28nm for this the A15s themselves might not even draw too much juice. Arm said A15s would be sensible for smart phone use at good 28nm or normal 22nm production. And Samsung production right now is very 'good'

Will note 3 and s4 feature this 8 core processor?

Most likely, yes. This was long over-due. The next big thing is probably already in development. If you have a Note 2 and you want to upgrade, wait for next year. The Note 2 is powerful enough and has excellent battery life, a very important factor to consider in today's mobile market.

All that power and no apps to utilize it. All those power and bad UI to go along with it. What wasted potential. Maybe in two year's time devs will start utilizing quad core processors and 16 cores will be the flagship standard. It's a shame Android is so fragmented.

Which one do you suggest when buying the S4 .... Snapdragon 600 or Exynos 5 Octa ?

I am planning to buy S4
But I'm not sure which is better
Snapdragon 600
1.9 Ghz
Quad Core Krait 300.
or
Exynos5
1.6 Ghz Octal Core
Quad Core Cortex A15 / Quad Core A7
4g and installing roms is not important to me
Which is better in terms of performance? less lag ?
Which is better for gaming?

Hi,
Look HERE

That's a no brainer....the Exy. But does anyone really have a choice? Especially in America.

i have a choice they both are available the same price with local warrenty

The exynos here is cheaper online but for me, no 4G = no go. Since buying an S3 4G last year there is no way I can go back to 3G again.
The speed difference is enormous and 4G here costs no more than 3G. And on the Telstra network it's even better. Have hit over 50mbps on speed tests.

Over simplifying it the Octacore version is slightly faster but has a poorer battery (4G not withstanding). Snapdragon touch slower (but faster than most phones todsy) but it'll last longer. There are lots of debates on whether the Octacore version ca be improved but this is how it stands right now as the biggest differences.
Other option is Stock version......

Also, go and ask any cedarview Atom owners what they think of the PowerVR SGX54x and the driver 'support' it gets. After that fiasco I would never buy another product that has a GPU from Imagination Technologies.

That is interesting. But seeing for myself in that video, it is hard not to believe that the Exy GPU is better.

Well, in this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeRcKHF4bDc&feature=youtu.be&a the girl states that she can not tell a difference between the two....except in GPU power. So, if you like to have less GPU power...then yes, the Qualcomm would be what you want.

I'm still waiting to see what makes the Exynos version a 'no brainer'. Was that it?

Sure, no problem....It was "Exynos takes the edge, ie camera and GPU". You can also watch the video and see...physical proof is nice.

I see. So for someone who needs 4G and has a preference for CM or AOKP the Exynos is still a 'no brainer' simply because it's performance is slightly better on certain benchmarks?

????????????

Why are you saying Exynos GPU is better than S600? I saw benchmarks where the Adreno 320 beat the powerVR SGX544 (though benchmarks are sometimes useless ^^)

Exynooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos

ive seen many vids on youtube about the two devices and i gotta say there not a big diffrenet in perfrmance
just get the one that available in your country
