More than the number of cores, it will be the increase in IPC that Apple brings to the table that has more potential to hurt Intel. Given what A9 can do on a power budget of 2-3W, imagine what they can do right now if the chip can accommodate a power budget of say 10W. It will be more than...
This is the phone with the best GPU on the market (40% better than iphone 6 plus) and nearly the best CPU on the market (just a tiny bit slower than the iphone on single thread but vastly more performance on multithread).
And it has the fastest DRAM. And the most DRAM of any phone.
Also...
A while ago Samsung announced its roadmap for microprocessors. They had said they will use ARM cores (A57) on 20nm but use their own core in 14nm. Clearly, they have fallen behind. But there is no reason to believe that they will not be using their own cores for Note 4. Furthermore, it is quite...
I remember that well. All the tech forums were awash in the 'fact' of Intel's superiority and how it will soon drown ARM in mobile. such a hoax!
The logical question to ask is, why did the AnTuTu author do that. Did he get paid for that? Why would he do that otherwise if there was no monetary...
And what part of Intel's 14nm transistors measures exactly 14nm can you please elaborate? i.e. what is the exact transistor dimension referred to when Intel decided to call the node 14nm? o_O
With the 1281 single core Geekbench 3 score posted for 20nm Exynos 5433, I am waiting to see what...
I guess he is joking. 14nm = 20nm FinFet :\
Sure, it is 20nm FinFet but performance characteristics are 30-50% better than 20nm planar, so that will make a huge difference! The improvement in transistor performance in moving to FinFet from Planar is equivalent to a node move. So, why not a...
Thanks Sweepr, great information!
Comparing the Snapdragon 810 and the Exynos 7
1) the cores are the same
2) Samsung seems to have the edge in graphics, or at least its at par
3) the audio, from all I can gather is better in Exynos because of the Wolfson DAC
4) Baseband - Qcom holds the...
:thumbsdown:
It's amazing how every post on mobile SOCs is infected and hijacked by this intel troll. This thread is about Note 4 running Exynos, not Intel moorefield, or crystalwell or broxton or any other SoC from that massive failure in mobile. Get it? Please go and start a new thread...
A year and half ago, Anand published a great series of comparisons between old and new GPUs, the best Intel integrated graphics and mobile SoCs.
It will be great to get an updated version.

With the Apple A8X and Nvidia...
Next year in Sep/Oct we will probably get to see both Apple A9/9X and Nvidia Erista, with the Apple chip on Samsung 14FF (from what I have heard) and the Nvidia chip on TSMC 16FF. Intel will also be on 14nm FF. With all of the major players (including Qualcomm hopefully) on 14nm FF we will get...
Practically 16FF (from TSMC) and 14FF (from Samsung, also used by GloFo) is the same thing. TSMC uses the 16nm instead of 14nm designation because of the chinese association of 4 (and 14, 24, 34, you get the picture) with really bad things. 4 is the chinese version of the western aversion to 13...
Just talking about products on shelves, Intel will have products on shelves by 4Q14. Whereas Samsung said they will have 14nm in mass production by 4Q14 and on the shelves by 2Q15 (probably the Galaxy S6)
That gives Intel a 6 month lead over Samsung/GF.
About performance, we will cross that...
You should skate to where the puck is heading towards!
The vast majority of android devices run on very underpowered GPUs at the moment. And hence, you have most developers targeting the lowest common denominator in graphics horsepower. Thereby you have a preponderance of games like candy...
