I had a samsung galaxy s 2 dual core and now i have the htc one x quad core, but i can't see the difference in speed, is it normal ?
out of curiosity: does it lag on live wallpapers? can u try?
It's perfectly normal, and something I've been warning people about for a long time now. SG2 had a dual core 1.5 GHz processor, One X has a quad core 1.5 GHz processor. Having 2 more cores does not mean that the One X is twice as fast, just that it's twice as strong. There's a big difference.
Read all the way through this thread discussing the positive/negatives of dual core vs quad core processors. I spent a lot of time there trying to dispel a lot of the ignorance surrounding the science behind what makes a processor faster/stronger than the next.

No, the techno-illiterate keep spreading this myth that more cores equals faster speeds. It's just not true.
It can do more things at once versus a dual core CPU, but if it's at the same Cortex class and clocked to the same speed, it's not going to be any faster.
+1 watch the video of the galaxy nexus vs the one x phone arena did, it is embarrassing how awesome the nexus looks compared to the one x.
Honestly the dual core versions with the s4 are better performers for the reason stated, better cortex and smaller nm. It also means for better battery efficiency.

Ah, I'd assumed OP had the skyrocket, else he might've noticed a slight speed increase.
I don't think the OP has EITHER phone. He's making so many post on which to buy , which means he hasn't got it? He's also saying he has a Sensation and XL... he has that many phones?

Much like PCs, the move from single to dual core showed immense promise. However, the move from dual to quad can appear very, very underwhelming.
You really have to have applications that are programmed for the architecture of your processor. Otherwise, the benefit is bragging rights, and even then, who wants to be that guy...
The gs2's touchwiz is just better built software. While not absent lag, it's the least laggy android skin.
I prefer Galaxy S II because it is more powerful in my option.
I never had a HTC phone but i think i'll take a shot some day!

Play or XL. Getting a bit bored of the PLAY now
The Sensation XL has a hideous design, its dpi is so low it reminds you of a low end phone, and it's got nothing over any dual core phone out there. Save your cash for something else, because HTC has put out a lot of garbage and underwhelming hardware in 2011.

So the GS3 will probably have a quad core Exynos processor. My question is will it come to the US, or be downgraded like in the HTC One X. I heard ( am not 100% sure on this) was that Nvidia had a falling out with qualcomm and that's why they didn't help them implementing LTE in the Tegra 3 quad core. If that's the case then the quad core Exynos chip would prob be LTE capable? What do you guys think??

I think I read something some time back that Samsung might of been working on that (having an LTE compatible Exynos chip), or the Dual-Core will have LTE.

I just hope the US versions have an Exynos chip.

It'll have an exynos chip most likely. Chances are they've optimized it to be compatible with LTE, Tegra 3 had something weird about it that prevented it. I'm honestly hoping it's not compatible though, so we get a dual core A15.
Hardly any apps use the dual core... why does everyone want a quad core?
What does are phone have dual A9? Why don't you want a quad? Recent article says you get 20% less power consumption.

Again, every time you say the evo lte dual core is a downgrade, you show everyone that you don't know what you are talking about. The qualcomm dual core in the evo lte is vastly superior to the tegra 3. It is an upgrade, not a downgrade. If the quad core exynos is not ARM 15 based, it will be inferior to the krait chip in the evo lte.
Stop saying that the dual core Evo is a downgrade. Just stop.

One video of one benchmark (running on what looks like beta software, whats up with the android dialog on boot?) doesn't change the facts. Krait is next gen, tegra 3 is A9 and is last gen. Every other benchmark has krait at 1.5ghz dominating, not to mention power consumption. I'd love it if the quad core exynos has 4 A15 cores, but if it's A9 I'm not really interested.

No need for another dual core versus quad core thread. Everyone knows the S4 kicks ass...it's just initial benchmarks for the quad core exynos seems to kick more ass, especially where gpu is concerned. I personally don't care if the phone has a dual core or quad core...but if it has a slower chip than its international siblings, then that's lame...

Exactly. The Qualcomm S4 MSM8960 supports newer and better technologies than the Exynos processors. Overall, all tasks and functions will be the latest version and faster than Exynos.
Here's a list:
BT 4.0
802.11a/b/g/n (2.4/5GHz)
GSM (GPRS, EDGE)
W-CDMA/UMTS (HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+ cat.28)
MBMS
LTE cat.3
CDMA2000 (1xRTT, 1xEV-DO Rel.0/Rev.A/Rev.B, 1xEV-DO MC Rev.A)
TD-SCDMA
There's a reason people who render large files chose Intel processors over AMD. It's not just about cores and clocks.

With all this debate over why the sgs3 should be quad-core, I have one question..
What benefits would every day users see from the extra cores? How many people run lets say 12+ apps, switching between and using all of them?
I am personally happy with the sgs3 containing the s4. Quad core doesnt make the cpu the greatest. My Amd phenom x2 3.0 ghz beats out a number of quad cores.. I know its not a mobile cpu, but the same would apply to mobile phones. Quality over quantity.

That's wrong, the TI OMAP was the only SOC that natively supported HD Video Decoding and LTE/HSPA+42(disregard the existence of the s3 for now). Its also better at multi threaded processing than the Exynos. It has dual channel memory and uses ARMs NEON engine for better media playback. So overall, the TI OMAP is just more flexible and has more features to play with....oh and it supports 1080p HD...something the 4210 didn't support.
Exynos is only "better" because of the Mali GPUs it is paired with, which is a great GPU. Still doesn't compare to the 12-core Tegra GPU. Don't even get me started about how much better the S4 is at power management.

Can't agree. Maybe it opens apps slightly faster.. but my galaxy nexus is slightly smoother than my gs3 and its h/w accelerated, that's why I used the nexus instead of gs3 and I saw the one x in the shop and it isn't smooth not as smooth as galaxy nexus with jelly bean, not even close
Sent from my Jelly Beaned GNexus
I find it amusing how people are so stuck on this smoother thing...The GNEX, One X and S3 are all smooth devices. Let's get real, they are all great phones. Do people really sit there with these three phones and swipe them side by side and see which is smother. Do people actually open apps and see which one opens a hair quicker and then base there decision on which phone to purchase because of those results?
If smoothness is the most important thing to you on a phone then by an iPhone and get it over with.
Otherwise, I do not understand why people stress out of the speed of these devices. It is like when new Roms come out people are always posting how fast it is. This Rom is so fast, faster then xxx....This is the fasted Rom out. Then I try it and I am like they all feel the f'n same! lol
Hi, in my honest opinion its impossible ,if you have jelly bean ,nexus is the smoothest phone u can have ,also better to s3.
Jelly bean smooth is based on 3 factor ,first of all try to install new ROM or wipe or so ,wrong apps like task manager or battery manager can slow your phone
1) GPU ,with project butter GPU is more important, if you want try overclocked kernel ,but for me is stupid ,my GNex is smooth without too
2) Touch ,make sure your don't have 2 dollars screen protector
3) CPU ,the main revolution of android 4+ is using interactive governor ,this permits accords due first 2 factor ,when user touch an interaction to spin up CPU to Max and when finish touch back to Min,
Conclusion :
Try different kernel that have interactive governor ,if u use stock there is no problem, try wipe or uninstall bloat app ,android don't require stupid apps like task manager .
My friend has a one X ,smoothness is the same

I find it amusing how people are so stuck on this smoother thing...The GNEX, One X and S3 are all smooth devices. Let's get real, they are all great phones. Do people really sit there with these three phones and swipe them side by side and see which is smother. Do people actually open apps and see which one opens a hair quicker and then base there decision on which phone to purchase because of those results?
If smoothness is the most important thing to you on a phone then by an iPhone and get it over with.
Otherwise, I do not understand why people stress out of the speed of these devices. It is like when new Roms come out people are always posting how fast it is. This Rom is so fast, faster then xxx....This is the fasted Rom out. Then I try it and I am like they all feel the f'n same! lol

That's because the majority of users posting about "fastness" are little kids who don't actually use the phone for anything more than games and stupid apps.
Does it honestly matter if it takes 0.1 millisecond longer to launch an app? Its not the end of the world, you cant expect a phone released in December 2011 to be on par with a phone released 2 months ago?

I disagree with everyone saying nothing is smoother than butter.... I say margarine is smoother than butter

What do you think? Which processor is better for HTC one X? Which has the better gpu?
Quad-core or Dual-core?
Post your opinions and comments and we'll see which one is better!

So far my tegra is blazing fast. Running everything with ease. Now I've never had anything with a Snapdragon s4 in it so I can't really compare.

Yup, that's what I think as well, I have tegra3 and it's amazingly fast with it's four cores.

I think it will get better and better with the next updates, newer/better kernel etc.. I think the One X isn't on it's best yet, due to software/kernel/drivers etc..
When I just had my One X, I had a score of 5000 @ Quadrant, at 2.05 I had 5500, with 2.15 I get ~5800.. I think the One X will reach the 6000 points too (whitout custom overclocking)
and not every app is optimized for 4 cores..

If you look at the X vs XL quadrant benchmark than you can see the X beats the XL in CPU but the XL really beats the X in memory, the other ratings are more or less similar BUT most apps don't even make use of the 2 cores on the desktop let alone 4 on a phone. In the real world the XL is faster and much more energy efficient.
Android is optimized for dual core phones not yet quad core optimized. Probably key lime pie will be quad core ready. We have to wait to see awesomeness on tegra 3. HTC One S wins in some 3d/2d benchmarks because resolution is lower than one x not because of snapdragon s4 is much better than one x
Tegra has the advantage of having games written specifically for it. I doubt the S4 variant will get the same treatment.

Not that I have tried it but with chainfire3d you can play tegra games on non tegra devices
I have owned both and in my experience the s4 variant is slightly smoother in basic ui navigation but gaming is subpar compared to tegra 3 variant. Imo the tegra version isnt used to its fullest due to lack of up to date kernel and driver optimizations so with the right update it should win in all aspects. Perhaps with 4.1 mainly due to the Nexus 7 using the same chipset and JB is optimized for it
