Samsung Exynos Thread (big.LITTLE Octa-core)

Just got a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 today, our local version (N910C) is based on the 20nm Exynos 5433 (Exynos 7 Octa) chip.
This is the first Cortex A57/A53 SoC to market and next year's Snapdragon 810 should pack a similar CPU configuration (probably different clockspeed though). I am running the usual benchmarks from AnandTech's smartphone/tablet reviews (Javascript tests @ stock browser). Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like me to test.

Exynos 5433 (Exynos 7 Octa)
CPU: 4x Cortex A53 @ 1.3GHz + 4x Cortex A57 r1p0 @ 1.9GHz (ARMv8-A)
GPU: Mali T760MP6 @ 700MHz

More to come...

* Overall I'm very impressed by the performance.
* AnandTech reviewed the Snapdragon 805 based Note 4.

Very nice. Pretty much in line with my expectations. I wonder if Samsung went custom with Exynos 7? They stated they'd be going that route eventually.

Qualcomm needs to stop dragging its feet.
 
Surprised you didn't wait for an Intel powered phone

Basicaly that s a Baytrail class CPU with a better GPU, and BT is not up to an ancient Bobcat be it in IPC or for the GPU, i dont understand all the hype for what are quite average chips, indeed thoses CPUs did find a safe harbour in Geekbencheries, GFXs and other non verifiable browser benches whose settings are changed from a run to another even within AT.
 
Some x86 Bay Trail/Mullins comparisons. 🙂

Power figures under 3DMark suite would be insightfull with both graphic and cpu tests, interesting to see what their 20nm is worth.
 
3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited. Quick run in a hot day (@ battery) but that's it for now. 😉
GFXBench battery tests and other comparisons later today.

That's performance... now where is energy consumption? I'd like to know if A57 is A15 2.0.

Moorefield in the 4.5" FFRD scores 21752 😛

Too bad Intel didn't actually get that part into phones...

Why doesn't everyone use Moorefield? It's built on the most advanced process. It has an impressive energy consumption. They don't have a Qualcomm-like monopoly; which sucks money out of every 3G (and presumably 4G) patent. Intel has a compelling roadmap and commitment to Atom: they have LTE, they have some of the best architects and a 2 year Tick-Tock cadence, it is built on the most used architecture, and Intel has a massive process lead.

I don't think Broxton will change everything, like you envisioned 1 year ago. Intel really has to deliver next week.

do you have a link and what is a moorefield? also what was the gfx score?

ok this is moorefield !

Intel atom Z3560
icestorm physics/graphics score 17504/18258 which is pretty good.
@5.2W max in a tablet formfactor
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Atom-Z3560-SoC.123972.0.html

amd's a4 micro-6400t mullins can on do:
icestorm physics/graphics score 8697/22434
@12.5W in a notebook formfactor.

makes me wonder about those power figures for the note although 20nm should help

They can't get their Core M in products to behave as in their demonstration platform so what would you expect of Moorefield in a end-user product? :ninja:

What would be A15 2.0 in your mind?

Being technically the best (and even that has to be proved) is not enough.
