Thoughts on the 1.5ghz snapdragon pro?
Well according to this the S4 Pro and the Adreno 320 are pretty amazing.
Oh, have you not heard?
Damn, ran out of likes. +1 formicae. On topic though;

This is a benchmark from a S4 Pro device. Nearly 3000 over the HOX.
The only processor in sight that can realistically match or beat the S4 Pro in terms of sheer power is the 1.7ghz Exynos 5250 Cortex A15, which powers the Nexus 10. Until that processor doesn't find its way on a mobile phone (presumably the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3), the S4 Pro will rule the roost as the fastest smartphone processor. Kudos to Google for its forward thinking and not settling for the dual-core S4.
Simply one of the best processor on the market.It has amazing perfomance.
Controversies,controversies everywhere :what:
Some reliable benchmarks:

Why do they have the clock speed so high?

Because they feel they can without murdering the battery. You'll be able to underclock it with custom roms/kernels if you want.

I know we can underclock & disable cores, but still 1.7Ghz seems a tad superfluous. Due to there being 4 cores I don't see why they can't keep the frequency under 1Ghz.

Because one very high clocked core is better than 4 lower clocked cores.

I know is basically meaningless but still post your top score
just for grins
heres mine\/\/\/\/\/

wuadrant scores actually do have meaning as long as you are comparind scores within the same device hardware (and not using any cheats or tricks) because it lets you compare how well your hardware is performing based on other people's harddware. but it does NOT have meaning comparind scores across different device models. at that point its meaningless.
company A could optimize a 500mHz phone to be smooth as butter, super optimized and efficient working on it for 3 years. while company B could not do crap, release a 2gHz phone, but not optimize it at all. so scores between those 2 devices would be meaningless.

theres no way to distinguish if they're cheating on the benchmark.. unless they're using Quadrant Advanced.
Just got my Nexus S the other day (for free! woo!) and I am loving it so far. Came from a Captivate to this phone and it is a lot nicer imho. I am currently running Brainmaster's MIUI ROM and Matr1x's Kernel.
Here are some awesome Quadrant Scores (Running 1.44GHz, stable but I'm running 1.2Ghz for daily user to save on battery life)

Loving it. This is a great piece of hardware. Was looking at the Atrix but figured this would be more fun until a dual core Nexus comes out
use paid version of quadrant and you will see why your score is so high
most of your high score has nothing to do with hardware performance you're using ext4 hack that comes with most kernels to trick people like you into thinking your phone is as fast if not faster than dual core phone when
its not
Never said it was as fast/faster as a dual core. Just comparing to other Nexus S quadrant scores and compared to my Captivate, it is much faster. I got it purely for the fact that it is easy to mod. And I do have the paid version, just need to redownload it.
Your making me jealous..
Haha.
What is this obsession with posting e-pen quadrant scores anyway?
Is it impossible for anyone to just say "Nice combo" or "Glad you are enjoying your phone!" instead of complaining like an emo high school kid. I mean, come on...
Here is my question, if not, I will problaby buy the Qualcomm one.
Tapalked with a Nexus⁴
No, it seamlessly switches between Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 processors.
And with a kernel mod, could it be possible?

It's possible ? 8 cores together ?

The hardware can do it. Just need the software to be aware and effectively use it.
I'd imagine it would generate lots of heat and use a lot of power if all eight were loaded though.
Does it have a 1.8 Ghz processor.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
its a Kernel level change, not really the android sw layer. IKS (4cores max) vs HMP (heterogeneous 8 cores max)... they (linaro) are still working on the tables for these CPUs (big.LITTLE). Kernel 3.8 will have an implementation patched, and 3.9 should be finished and baked in. things can change though.
I have the XT1641, following CPU-Z or DevCheck stats, the GPU is supposed to run at 550 MHz, but in my case the max frequency is 400 MHz and it seems maxed out, sometimes runs at 240 MHz but always is at 400 Mhz, don't really know if when I open a game (Real Racing 3) it max outs at 550 Mhz but I don't think so becuase it runs at 20-25 fps, is the 400 Mhz limit is for power saving? I don't have any power saver enabled but I just wanted to know.
As you can see

Are you on custom kernel?
Which Rom and kernel are you running?
All the phones will change the frequency of the CPU and GPU based on the actual load, to conserve energy.
You are looking at the GPU frequency when you are saying 400 or 550 MHz. If there are no 3D apps running, the GPU frequency will be lower.

Yes, you are right. 240MHz is enough for basic apps.
Various apps detect my phone as having an Adreno 512 although the SD636 is supposed to have Adreno 509. Currently DevCheck and Minecraft both show this anomaly. This isn't a serious thread but just a question from a curious teenager, interested in computers both big and small.

That is 509. I dont't khow why ASUS uses SDM660 dts (kernel file) instead of SDM636 dts.

I have this problem also when using a custom rom for Zenfone Max Pro M1 (HAVOC, DOT OS), it will show Adreno 512 instead of 509. Maybe because Snapdragon 636 is just an underclocked version of Snapdragon 660 and both are using the same board platform (sdm660). If it does bothering you, better stick to the stock rom. :good:
It doesn't bother me per se but it is a bit offputting.
