Take a look at this:
http://www.androidguys.com/2012/08/10/samsung-details-next-gen-exynos-5-dual-processor/
Key specifications for the system-on-a-chip (SoC) include the following:
Cortex-A15 dual core (with each core running at 1.7GHz speed)
Up to 2560×1600 WQXGA display support
1080p 60fps video hardware
High-speed interfaces USB 3.0 and SATA3
Image Signal Processor (ISP) of 8M pixel 30fps
OpenGL ES 3.0, OpenCL 1.1, and DirectX 11 support
Pretty beefy.

What are you talking about? Even the current dual core Exynos smokes the Omap4 in memory management. It's an I/O monster and multitasking on it is way better than with the Omap4!

According to some opinions, this SoC may first be seen in a Windows 8 tablet(due to USB 3.0 and DX11 support). If this ever came to android, it would be EPIC.

I/O monster, LOL.
Just what we need. A monster at that which is not a bottleneck
If you take CPU for CPU, and shave off the GPU, there is very little difference in real performance.
I find very interesting that it has Directx 11 support.

I/O is part of the chipset capability GPU aside. So again the Exynos comes out on top!
The Omap4 is just more open source friendly.

Benchmarks and real world rarely see eye to eye.
I prefer something that has tangible benefits, but if thats what floats your boat, have at it
Once again, neither disk or memory I/O (in nand based devices) has been a bottleneck for quite some time.
If it cannot show real, tangible improvements, its a waste of time. I have not seen anything showing that the Exynos vs. Omap4 in pure CPU are any better than each other. Unless we want to argue benches again.

Interesting, because its i/o is better than the GS2 for cpu and ram and about the same for disk (less for the reviewer's unit). Nexus 7 has a Tegra 3 and has no issues.
Maybe, just maybe, io isn't the real issue there. I honestly don't know. Its not the hardware though if the Nexus 7 doesn't have those issues. Also, maybe you weren't aware, but how you mount your filesystem affects io. Thats naught to do with hardware.
Another:
I also think you can plainly see from this one that aside from GPU, GS2 and Omap4 are fairly similar. I hate referring to benchmarks but I think its the only language you understand

I just returned to stock via ODIN to see if my battery life is better. The stock FPS that I'm getting on stock kernel is roughly 30. This is a deal breaker for me. Anyone else noticing this limit on their devices who are on stock?
Something seems wrong, my phone is much smoother than that. You prob have a live wallpaper running which don't work right with this phone and makes the home screen choppy. Try a static wallpaper.
Mike's also maxing out at 30-fps but it removes this limit with modded kernels.

There is no fps cap.
No kernel dev has removed any fps cap that never existed. They may increase the gpu clock speed, but as for a cap...nope.
The difference between all Galaxy Nexus wise is not the kernel, it is the ramdisk. So Sprint isn't running some radically different kernel.
Kernel source can be obtained from AOSP. Type git log and notice that there are no Sprint fps limiting commits.
What are you even using to show you this limit and what exactly are you claiming is capped? Watching video, recording video, just using the phone?
I am a little confused by the statement.

Screenies to show it's maxing out at 30fps.

Right below 30, it keeps showing right at 30/29.
29/30 again, switching between the two.

Knowing that the kernel is where fps caps would take place, I decided to (for the sake of science) boot the Sprint kernel on my Verizon device.
Quadrant is a piss poor test because it is fps limited in some tests by the software renderer on devices with SGX GPU. You can delete it, but don't fool yourself, it doesn't = performance gained.

Keep in mind that you are at 720p. The 30 fps you are seeing could just be the limit the hardware has. Some things do indeed cap at 30 fps but it is not due to any artificial cap in place.

Uber, you don't have to respond like that. It isn't necessary. He was asking a valid question, and it is hard to keep up with forum posts that are here because the forum gets updated with new posts so often. And yes to answer your question respectively, the system reserves a certain amount of RAM, leaving the rest for the various processes on your phone

So I wonder how much better the phone would run if we had the full 1GB of RAM to use.
Probably nothing too noticeable.
Unless you actually consume all 693 or whatever your current ROM uses, I doubt you'll notice a large improvement. Better multitasking I suppose.

It beats the hell out of the a100 for sure. Kicked the a100 out the door, it wasn't good for much besides a door stop after the nexus 7 and the 10" thrive.
You gotta give the a100 props though. It was one of the first 7in tabs not to suck! Evolution took it a step further and the base design of this tab has reoccurred in a few places, RAZR Max, notice the corners, some other grabs have the camera there. This tab was, is and will continue to be awesome. Besides the crap battery and the random bricking which has essentially stopped, as far as I know.

Yes its a decent tab that is still quite usable, but having a nexus 7 makes it useless in thus household now and has been moved to a new home. It had its good and bad points but for me for every flaw the a100 has and even those that devs had to correct because Acer wouldn't, means I will never buy an Acer product again. Google devices for me now as I don't wish to continue being forced to create new ROMs for a device because the manufacturer decided to ditch it.

I know it goes faster, mine did its just not usable in that level of tuning plus its a huge strain on the hardware to push that far, 1.7 GHz is a 70% push in speed and voltage increases are getting scary at that point. Benchmark increases become smaller in relation to speed increases as well, meaning we're exceeding its safety range. Same for GPU oc, pushing it much father doesn't yield much more for benchmarks either but adds more strain then is really needed. What good is a tablet running over 5k in quadrant if it can't run on battery more then a couple hours?
Tapatalked from my Nexus 7 - Kuroikaze AOSP
Sick nasty benchmarks. I did a benchmark on my old phone, not a quadrant but a geekbench. It scored a 10... in comparison, my a100 scored 1200... the dual core along with the fact its a tegra and coupled with the gig of ram make for all around good experiences on job. Imo

Do you have any data to support the claim that it improves battery life?
I've always thought that spreading the workload over more cores is more efficient eg. 4 cores working at say 700 is better then 2 cores running at 1400.

Not sure why someone buys a powerful quad core phone and then disabled cores and also under clocks it. I mean if battery life is your main concern than why not get a slower phone that has longer battery life?

We want the power there when we need it, but want to be able to save battery when we need that. That's what Android is all about, freedom and control over your phone! =)
I don't believe this will really save battery. One core running higher loads should take longer and increase the screen on time, CPU temp due to higher core usage etc.
I think you will end up with a slower phone with similar or worse battery life.
Do some tests

This app has the potential to be interesting but the S4 Pro is already effiecient enough, in fact it turns off cores itself when it needs to.
The Optimus G has the ability to manually turn off cores but that feature is unavailable in the Nexus 4, stock Android

The thing is that, although this phone is underclocked and has its cores disabled, it still works great
There's an App called Trickster Mod which shows you, that Kernels are disabled by default when not needed. In Standby it shows that on my Nexus 4 only one Kernel is working with 384 MHz. I think the Core Disabler App is useless....
What a useless app. Kernels such as Franco has hotplugging in the kernel already which disables and enables your core based on the amount of cpu usage.
If you're looking to maximize battery life, this app isn't the solution. And definitely not worth the 1 euro. Advertising a app on xda is illegal too

I am already waiting for next year Nexus phone...

It is 2100 mAh which should be good enough. It is the software and the wake locks, and project butters unneeded speed when touching the screen that causes the battery to be lower.

why did u bother to buy a superfast phone that you cant handle its speed and battery life?

Probably because you don't always need every core. 2 cores will provide the same experience even if you underclock. Having two active cores should give similar or better performance than the S4(dual), so it makes sense to disable the others. I will trust android with quads when core management improves, which should arrive with Key lime pie hopefully.

It would be cool if we could program the other cores for specific tasks. So the main two will handle the main task, the third can handle background task, and the fourth can do media things. Though I doubt we'll ever see the cores implemented like that.
Hey guys
I just ran quadrant and here are results .. One X has bit more points..

If u have results u can post them (with SAME mobile)
HTC One X is smoked
I am running the leaked Jelly Bean firmware though so maybe improved the scores

Yes it does benchmark graphics but my test shows cpu and memory higher than the One X, is your One X modified in any way?
The Optimus G is the fastest phone on the planet at present, until Samsung releases the GS4 with the new Exynos processor or the new Qualcomm chips announced at CES this week.

Just ran the tests for 3 consecutive runs in quadrant and the scores just get lower and lower, the first run is always the highest as the phone hasnt been used but as it gets warmer the scores get lower. Wasnt aware that the Optimus was throttled similar to the Nexus 4

I am NOT really fan of benchmarks cos this LG is fast as HELL websites loading flaming fast and apps too
Today I was measuring speed on H+ ( 3 network ) and I had max 11Mbps amazing unfortunately NOT in my hometowm different town..
Quadrant is not a good graphics performance benchmark. You want Nenamark or Antutu for that.

My F180K got 8000-8200 points in quadrant and aprox 16000-17000 in antutu
How come i have 6300 only then?

Maybe:
1)Overheating
2)A lot of apps in background.
3)F180L software bug
8200 isnt really a lot, cause DNA makes near 8600 points (With full HD screen) and new Xperia even higher with full hd screen and same CPU.

That's cause Quadrant is a bogus benchmark.

Not really, cause in Antutu xperia reaches 20.000 points, which is far from 16.5k of my one.
And again, xperia has same cpu, 2gb ram and full hd resolution
And the DNA did, if i remember correctly, 18k points
Btw official JB is out, gonna bench again right now to check if there any difference

Hah, 5900 in quadrant. I want to shoot LG developers seriously
Now i understand how nexus4 did that low scores, unlike optimus g the stock was 4.1 and 3.4 kernel
Now I got this..
So it is NOT like fix score it is balancing depend of mobile status .. EXACTLY Tim4
You right!

but i must disagree with this your post!
lg is great now E973 is the BEST !
And + when i will be updated to jelly it will be MEGA BEST
We will see
Anyway, on 4.0.4 my quadrant score was used to be 8000~ points
On todays JB update only 6000 points~
But visually, i see no difference in speed at all.
Exactly, benchmark and, even more, Quadrant specificaly is not a precise way to test between two devices.
You'd have to, at least, install a vanilla AOSP to compare, since even the customisation of every manifacturers can cause a lot of change.
Ironicaly, a GIU which utilise the GPU to optimise smoothness on the devices would get a lower score on benchmarking, since the hardware is partly utilised by the system. But the "lower score" would mean a more pleasant experience and more fluid navigation. And, since the processor is powerfull enough, this wouldn't cause any latency in other applications or games.
I think it's more important to look for lag in different applications than to bench and check for numbers. Like when browsing in the gallery, playing games, installing apps or browsing Play store, etc.
Benchmark is a good tool to check for optimisation on the same device, or to compare if certain changes can cause sludge, like adding an apps that stays in the background.
