Samsung's Exynos 5 owns Snapdragon 600 in benchmark

[DKT27]

Today at SamMobile, we received the latest benchmark tests of the Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 (Exynos 5 Octa variant) with Samsung’s latest test firmware installed and the results are highly impressive. In previous test firmwares Samsung had clocked the Exynos 5 Octa CPU to 1.8GHz but in the most recent test firmware it has been decreased to 1.6GHz, as Samsung officially announced.

There are, currently, 3 variants of the Galaxy S4:

GT-I9500 – Exynos 5 Octa 1.6 GHz without LTE
GT-I9505 – Snapdragon 600 1.9 GHz with LTE
SHV-E300S – Exynos 5 Octa 1.8 GHz with LTE

Samsung has given a slight performance boost to the Korean variant of the Galaxy S4 by increasing the Exynos 5 Octa’s clock speed to 1.8GHz. Do keep in mind these benchmarks are not from the Korean variant (SHV-E300S) but from the international variant (GT-I9500) which is clocked at 1.6GHz and it still blows Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 SoC out of the water!

Our insider’s Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500) scored a whooping 28018 points on Antutu. The Snapdragon equipped Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) scored 23607 points, as benchmarked by the folks at GSMArena. We expect the Korean variant (SHV-E300S) to score 30000+ points and one thing is for sure, the Korean Galaxy S4 SHV-E300S will be the fastest device on the planet.

Now don’t be sad if your country is not getting the Exynos 5 Octa variant of the Galaxy S4 as you will not notice a performance difference in day to day tasks between the Snapdragon 600 equipped Galaxy S4 and Exynos 5 Octa equipped Galaxy S4. However, the Exynos variant will be faster while using high CPU extensive apps and will also be more power efficient thanks to ARM’s big.LITTLE technology.

This is the first proper benchmark / article of it, hence posting. :)

it's only a benchmark, last year tegra3 owned snapdragon in most (but not all benchmarks) but in real life the situation was very different, for the real world single threaded results are much more important, so I wonder how the results are core for core...

Next year, a newbie cellphone manufacturing company will own all the benchmark test

with its 100 core cpu arm-based processor.

This will surely blows them out the universe as the comparison will be the most fair and balance test.

100 core cpu arm-based processor vs all the legacy 4-8 core cpu variants (tegra 5 core cpu or exynos 8 core cpu) :hehe:

This is not just one benchmark Exynos has beaten Snapdragon. Couple of other benchmarks have showed a similar result - however, both the times I haven't found a proper article (atleast, no comparison), hence I didn't post it.

In Samsung's case, it has only 4 working cores, the other 4 are battery saving / low powered ones, so I doubt they will do much better. Also, if you want, with some advanced tech, you can still add a 100 cores, but the benchmarks, due to the phones' limitations, might still not beat others.
