Exynos Note 4 GPU Drivers - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to use the Note 4 GPU drivers? Given that the Mali 760 is also Midgard based
As you can read here they bring some considerable performance improvements

Don't think it's possible, the T604 in our N10 is 1st gen Midgard while the T760 is 3rd gen, meaning there will be some architectural differences.

Galaxy S2 Early Benchmark

http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph4177/35412.png
Some of you might know, the Galaxy S uses the PowerVR SGX-540 GPU, which will be in the upcoming Omap 4 SoC. And Samsung decided to switch from PowerVR to ARM for the GPU in the SoC, the Mali-400. The image you see is the early benchmarks of that new SoC, the Samsung Exynos SoC (formally Orion). My friend shared the image and right now he's not here for me to link the original site, but i'll edit that in later. Also as a note that mali chip is currently at 65nm in the benchmarks, the final chip will be in 40nm? But still, as someone who has been excited to see "5x the performance of the galaxy s" idc if it's an early build, I'm still
How about you guys?
information like this is suspect and rife with no base standard so it little or no meaning. The other phones are upgrades and most likely have tweaks of varying degrees. So this provides really nothing........ Beside the TMO Vibrant is at the top of most of the bench tests t to see the fascinate so much above...... mames one question the test results

Wow the Tegra 2 doesn't beat the SGX-540 by much talking about making a powerful phone,wow the Galaxy S is a damn powerful phone,now if game companies tarted to actually use its powerful GPU,it would be great.
Extremely interesting, this.
Well, I hope it gets better as Samsung updates the software, drivers and other parts of the UI. (lolz)
Take a closer look at the benchmark, this is a graphics benchmark. The cpu itself has great performance, but what made the S so great was that it had the best gpu, no game lagged. Samsung is changing up the gpu provider and the new one benchmarks lower than the S, by final release at most they could hope for is getting the same performance in graphics. But the point is, samsung promised 5x the graphics performance, we're currently at half.

Are you surprised?

Does the Nexus 7 have something over the Prime in regards to GPU?

I could have sworn during the I/O conference it as stated that the Nexus 7 has a 12 core GPU that was separate than the 4 core CPU and that someone said the Tegra 3 in the Prime has the CPU and CPU combined.
am i incorrect?
or is the Nexus 7 and Prime Tegra 3 CPU and GPU exactly the same?
As far as the quad core cpu, and 12 core gpu are configured it should be the same. But the cpu on the nexus is actually clocked lower then the prime.
As far as I know they are the exact same silicon containing 4 CPU cores and 12 GPU units but with different clock rates. The T30 in the Prime has 25% higher GPU clock rate compared to the T30L in the Nexus 7.
I don't think the difference is too significant. Much uglier is that the T33 in the Infinity has the same GPU speed as the T30 but is trying to push 2.25x as many pixels as the Prime or the N7.

[Q] A bit confused about the GPU on SM-N900

Hi guys,
I am going to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 soon. However the variant which is available to me is the N900 with the Exynos 5420 processor.
The thing is that, I am a bit confused about the GP. It is running a Mali-T628 MP instead of the Adreno 330 on the N9005 models. Will I notice a visible difference in gaming? Is the Mali that bad against the latest Adreno.
Also, do you think that the HMP patch that Samsung hinted at, to unleash the true 8 cores might affect the GPU performance later on?
The processor is the only thing that is stopping me from getting this variant. Please guys, help me out on this.

Adreno 330 is so good but
Mali in note3 is Octa GPU and clocked higher than adreno 330 (u can find and compare by wikipedia)
both of them are so powerful however adreno shows more score in graphic benchmark but it s not that high but cpu in exynos is about 2000scores more than snapdragon (in antutu benchmark)
anyway u won't lose anything if buy snap or exynos both of them are awesome
:good:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

How does the speed/performance compare to the 2013 nexus 7?

Just wondering if this is a step up in terms of what I am currently using as my daily android device. Alright, after a bit of reading, the best guess I have is about a 25% increase in performance with the Redmi note 2.
Powervr g6200 vs Adreno 320
The PowerVR chip was ranked 8th best for 2015 compared to 14th for the dated Adreno 320.
CPU clock time is 2000mhz compared to 1500.
However, benchmarks on Atutu seem to show it scoring twice as high.
Was hoping for a little more performance, but for $110 and a far superior GPS/camera I'll take it.
I've never heard any complaints on here about performance on the RN2; in fact, people have been underclocking the CPU to 1.2-1.5 GHz and still had no lag. It's not as good as the SD 810 and not nearly as good as the Adreno 430, but there aren't really any devices this cheap with more powerful hardware.

GS7 Edge Processor

So the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 is quad core. Why did Qualcomm decide to go with a quad core one over a octacore or hexacore? How would that affect the GS7/GS7 Edge if it were octacore or hexacore? How much of a difference is there between the Exynos and 820?
Indeed the snapdragon 820 is a quad core SOC unlike most recent socs which have featured 8 cores (2 clusters of 4 cores). However most big.little socs like the exynos 8890 and 7420 use 4 low power slow processors and 4 high power, but power hungry processors. They are completely different architectures. This means that while the exynos 8890 for instance has 8 cores. Only 4 of them are really designed for performance. The other 4 are designed to save power. The 820 is different. It's also some sort of big.little setup with 2 clusters of 2 cores. However both clusters are identical architectures. The difference is one cluster is clocked lower and has a different l2 cache configuration in order to use less power. On top of that the custom cores in the 820 are faster per core than the exynos 8890. So clock for clock the 820 would win against the high power cluster of the exynos. In heavily multitheaded situations though. The exynos still can tap into all 8 cores at the same time which should give it an advantage in that scenario. For the rest of the time I would imagine the 4 faster cores of the snapdragon would be better suited to everyday stuff. As for why they only went with 4. My guess is cost, and power efficiency. Kyro is a brand new architecture. Krait went through many iterations. Kyro will probably see a noticeable reduction in its power envelope in the next iteration which would make shoving more of them onto an SOC a more viable option. As for gpu, all signs are pointing to the snapdragons adreno GPU beating the Mali in the exynos atm. Development will also be improved on the snapdragon device as Qualcomm releases the proprietary vendor binaries and Samsung does not. This means the likelihood of seeing cm or aosp on an exynos variant is slim. Hope this helps!
Actually, the Kryo cores are (slightly) better at running single threaded tasks while the Exynos cores are (slightly) better at running multi-threaded tasks. I doubt the everyday users will notice.
The Adreno is also more powerful than the MALI GPU, though everyday users will mostly notice a performance improvement on applications using the Vulkan API vs regular applications, than anything between both these GPUs.
Finally the memory management seems much better on the Exynos 8890 for some reason (about twice as fast), since the same chips are used I wonder whether it's a software or a hardware implementation difference, both units are plenty fast though.
The real difference between both these SOCs will seen in the power management efficiency, in fact both variants are overpowered in every aspects as far as regular usage goes, so there is little point in comparing which one's the fastest. Instead, you need to wonder which one is the most conservative with power consumption while achieving equivalent performances.
Both the GPUs on these SOCs support the Vulcan API. And, whilst the Adreno is faster in terms of pure benchmark numbers, I very much doubt there will be a noticeable difference on any game or application, Vulcan or otherwise, that will be released during the lifetime of these phones.
Yeah, that does help explain it. Thanks. I just hoped there wouldn't be a TSMC vs Samsung difference in the iPhone 6S/6S Plus SoC.
i was thinking 8 core snapdargon 810 was over heating and thermal throttling so they went for 4 cores instead on snapdragon 820.
just my thoughts.
