nope..
I wondering, when it showed on hardware only quad core..does it come with A15 processor + A7 processor each quad core.it should be dual quad core.
am I right?

It will always show as quad core as its only going to be using one set of quads at a time. Either the big or LITTLE set, the change between them will be seemless.

Number of Processor Cores in Galaxy Note??

Hi,
An important question. The attached image shows android terminal from Galaxy Note and Fedora Core Linux terminal.
Since I have a i3 CPU with 4 cores on laptop, Fedora terminal correctly detects 4 CPU cores. Whereas for Galaxy Note, even though it has dual core ARM processor, I can see only one core. Is this correct? Please help.
Many Thanks,
Nikhil Bhalwankar

I'm not sure, but I think the Note turns off the second core when not in use. Perhaps some apps don't know ow to tell it to turn on?
I could be way off of the truth here.

After looking at the output, I thought it has only one core. Is there any way to confirm whether my phone really has 2 cores?
SystemPanel app can show you the 2 cores with real time usage and clock.
Every Note is dual core. Whether N7000 or I717. The processor has the ability to "turn off a core" when not in use in order to conserve battery. I wouldnt go by what the terminal is telling you.

Yeah many apps will show only a single core when the second core is shut down.
Desktop machines usually don't hotplug out extra cores.

Maybe its actually a quad-core and all it takes is the proper firmware to unlock the others! My old graphics card does that!
Just an fyi, your i3 is a dual core cpu with 4 threads available. So in a sense, your terminal is 100% wrong about everything ~

Thanks a lot. This app showed me 2 cores. One in grey color most of the time and another one active.
well, your i3" with four cores" actually only has two , and your note with one core actually has two.
If you want an 8 core Note i can make an app that will tell you you have them.. you wont of course, but if it makes you feel better...lol

Actually there are AMD Athlons that can Core Unlock, but perhaps you were talking about exynos processors
Imagine if someone released a app in the Play Store that will turn your "Dual Core Smart Phone" into a "Quad Core Smartphone"? Charge $19.99 and that developer would be rich in no time.
You dont even need to be rooted!! Works on all smartphones! HAHA

Your Core i3 is dual core in the first place. It doesnt have 4 cores. What you see is 2 physical cores and the other two are just Intel's HyperThreading technology built into each core. Hence, theoritically you only have two physical cores supported by HyperThreading on each core. But most Operating System shows 4 cores, even Windows shows 4 CPUS.
Check out an old Pentium 4 CPU with HT technology where it all began. Under Windows or most desktop OSes, it will report 2 cores.
The Core i3 was initially and even to some extend today is considered to be a rebrand of the Core 2 Duo Processors and they are hence strictly dual core.
Core i5 is more of a mainstream processor available in both dual core and quad core variants.
A quadcore Intel processor would show 8CPUS under most desktop OSes, 4 being actual cores and 4 HyperThreading.
About the Note showing only one core, most multicore processors are built to use the cores on demand and to keep switching cores on or off as per needs. This is what you see.
Finally which platform are you running on the Note? Gingerbread isn't designed to efficiently utilize multicore processors. This has been fixed in ICS.

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.

Yes. Anandtech blogged it.
Its basically twice as fast as the A9 in the 4S.
Yes, but there is already an A-15 on the market, in the American S3.
This is nothing new.

Why bummer? It's normal for Apple, they release one phone, once a year they have to give it everything they got. Just get ready for the onslaught of android devices coming this fall including the next nexus.

The A6 is an Apple name.
the A15 are the cores used. Next Gen ARM design is seriously more advanced than A9 based CPU
Has this been officially confirmed? Not seen it anywhere else but anandtech thus far.

It's based on Arms A15 design is it not? OEMs can make alterations as they see fit as Arm just supply the design and don't actually provide working silicon.
Only iTards use semantics to pretend their stuff is first when others have been doing it months.

Its halfway between A9 an A15 by the looks of it.
A15 is seriously more advanced. It is a "Next Gen" Mobile CPU architecture.

Qualcomm design their own chips, but ARM provide the specs and instruction sets... Performance will be closer than a lot think for the cpu the gpu in the S4 isn't the best, but that is due to be upgraded.

If you check the specs of the A15 there are some things way higher specced in the A15 over the S4

[Q] Snapdragon 600 or Exynos 5 Octa

Samsung galaxy S4 Comes with snapdragon 600 or exynos 5 Octa ?
on Snapdragon 600 its listed in utilizing devices (1.9Ghz Quad Core) with Krait 300 CPU
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_600#Snapdragon_600
but on GSMARENA ITS EXYNOS 5 Octa (1.2Ghz Quad Core + 1.6GHz Quad Core) with Cortex A15 and Cortex A7 CPUs respectively
gsmarena.com/samsung_i9500_galaxy_s4-5125.php
which one is correct???
and then i find
Galaxy S4 is there on Wikipedia on EXYNOS 5 octa SoC too
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos_(system_on_chip)
is it coming in different versions?
The 3G version will have the Exynos and the 4G one will have the Snapdragon.
cant wait for the exynos version
it has been released in NEW YORK..waiting it to be released in my country

Anyone find benchmarks of octa core? i think all benchmarks done during unpacked were to snapdragon 600...so i like to no know octa core results. I think 1.6 will be low for this times...and to buy snapdragon...i prefer to but htc one.
And it is confuse that all leaks before unpacked were cpu at 1.8 and not 1.9

It was clocked at 1.89 so ~1.9.

Yes i saw it, but i want octa...i think results are not going to be nice...If they get with 1.9ghz same results that htc one...
Edit: Other thing rare: S III exynos 1.4, SIII snapdragon 1.5...now 1.6 to 1.9...its a lot of diffrence (although performance are not in numbers)

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......

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.

You have that a little backwards: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40554113
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.

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

who is the best the s5 with octa core or the quad core

hello guys i have 2 s5 one of them it comes with octa core and the other with the quad core so who is the fastest and better one and are the both of them 4g lte and are they can record 4k videos
thanks in advance
