[Q] which processor does it have A8 or A7 ?

mine shows ARMv7 processor rev 2 (v7l)
is it right ?

ARMv7 is the architecture. ARM Cortex A8 is a processor by the company ARM which is based on the v7 architecture.

mali 400 gpu the weakest out?

how weak is this gpu, is it overclocked ?

its pretty outdated, regardless what anyone else says to you
it has half the die size of a 544mp4, which is kind of sad ... the mali400 in note 2 is overclocked versus the one in the gs2, and is suppose to be an improved variant from the galaxy s3
it is faster than tegra 3, ill tell you that for sure

something is strange, i wonder if the note 2 gpu is a variant in the way the adreno series like adreno 225 but samsung just doesnt change the numbering maybe, what do you think, if its a variant, there must be changes, no way it can pull figures like it does while being a s2 gpu lol

Is it difficult to port a Custom Rom From the T311 to the T211..??

Ok, I am kind of lost, I am not a Developer, However to me Personally doesn't seem to difficult to be able to take a:laugh: Stock or even Custom Rom already running Great from the Galaxy Tab 3 T311 and have it run the same or even better on the Galaxy Tab 3 T211, I do Understand that theres much more things that should be considered besides the 1" size difference, but other than that both devices run 3g, can someone please enlighten us non kmowers, lol, cause our T211 section is like a GHOST town and would love to see it lite up like 42nd st in Manhattan on Christmas.. Thanks Muchhhhhh....

It is much more than just the size difference, the Tab3 range all use completely different CPUs and GPUs
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0
Processor: Marvell Technology Group PXA986
Graphics Adapter: Vivante GC1000+ Dual-Core
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
Processor: Samsung Exynos 4212 1.5 GHz
Graphics Adapter: ARM Mali-400 MP4
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1
Processor: Intel Atom Z2560
Graphics Adapter: PowerVR SGX544

I Know its MUCH more than a size diffrence
I do understand that its more than just a size difference, I Know it has to do with Partitions, Kernels, DPI, CPU, GPU, However these other devices that have had totally different Roms for totally different devices ported into them. from what i have been reading in this forum is that theres a problem porting the Kernel, again i could be wrong. I cant Wait to flash something soon, cause this stock Rom SUCKSS..

[Q] Which CPU does my Tab S LTE have?

How can I find out which CPU my Tab S 8.4 LTE has ? I bought my tablet from on online Italian dealer.

They all have Exynos (except some rare US and Chinese models).

Install and run the cpu-z app. It will show you the cpu and lots of other information!

Well, I am more confused now.
I called Samsung and they accessed some internal technical data that I couldn't find online. According to the customer service rep, my LTE device (SM-T705) has a 2.3ghz snapdragon 800ghz quad core for the LTE functions and a 1.9 ghz exynos quad core. The non-LTE (SM-T700) has a 1.9ghz quad core exynos and a 1.3ghz quad core exynos (i.e., exynos 5 octa). So, according to them, my device isn't octacore, but dual (heterogenous) quad core. That's exactly what the rep told me. Hmmmmmm
Here is what cpu-z reports:
1) 4x ARM Cortex [email protected] 1.90ghz
2) 4x ARM Cortex [email protected] 1.90ghz
3) GPU Mali T628
It doesn't explicitly say if the brand of each 4-core CPU. I was unaware and A-7 could run at 1.9, even overclocked.
Here is what the CPU/RAM/DEVICE Identifer app reports:
1) Exynos 5 5420 Octa x4+4 1.9ghz.
According to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438339), the 5420 is an A-15.
2) 3) GPU Mali T628
My observation here that maybe the device is using an LTE chip separate (not integrated) alongside an exynos octacore. It's possible according to an Australian forum: "Samsung is buying LTE modems from Intel and using them with their own Exynos 5 Octa (5420) SoC, as using in-house silicon reduces manufacturing costs."
To show how confusing this is, here is what I found on Wikipedia, describing sort of vaguely the Tab S 10.1 cpu (no similar description for the 8.4):
"The WiFi model of the tablet is powered by the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420 CPUs. The LTE model comes either with a Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 on top of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset (version for some US carriers) or with the Exynos octa-core CPU (version for some European countries)."
That seems to say the LTE version has snapdragon quad core plus another snapdragon quad core OR an exynos octacore. That would mean they'd have to have turned off the A-7 core. Either way, I thought a snapdragon would not work with the Mali GPU.
In the end, still confused, but I'm leaning toward believing it's all exynos plus that intel LTE modem. As to which cortex cores, I dunno.

They are all exynos apart from ramdom US ones as mentioned before. There is huge confusion online. Its an exynos with two quad cores but no hetrogenous processing.

Thanks for the replies. An all exynos system makes sense. Clearly, one quad core is 1.9ghz. I wonder what the other quad core runs at. The CPU-z type apps are giving conflicting results. And, clearly Samsung customer service has no idea. They think I have an exynos 1.9ghz quad plus a snapdragon 2.3ghz quad.

Wrong thread

It's four ARM Cortex A15 cores at 1.9Ghz and four Arm Cortex A7 cores at 1.3Ghz.
They call it the big.LITTLE concept where the A7 cores are for low power/light tasks and the A15 cores for performance.

Totally 100% correct.

Again, thanks for the help. It will be interesting to see what the Tab S2 will have in it beside a 4:3 form factor and a much lower capacity battery.

Likely the new 7440 exynos. (May have got that model number wrong!)

I guess when it comes out, I'll put my T705 on eBay. Gotta stay current ☺

Christ it comes to something when even Samsung doesn't know what's in there own devices!
This forum doesn't help either by having the wrong specs at the top of the forum page.
The majority of tab s's have the exynos cpus not snapdragon and this should be reflected in the spec details in this forum.
I can see how newcomers get easily confused.

Possible lollipop port for Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T210)

Can Someone port Lollipop Rom to the Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T210)?
The GT-I9100G has comparable specs and lollipop available, so most code is already available.
The only big difference i see is the screen difference.
So the only thing not compatible is the screen??
(If im wrong, forgive me for not understanding android development & terms):angel:
here's a link to the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9100g-omnirom-5-0-unofficial-builds-t2947772
Galaxy S II - Model: GT-I9100G
SoC: Texas Instruments OMAP4430
CPU: 1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9
GPU: PowerVR SGX540
Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 - Model: SMT210
SoC: Texas Instruments OMAP4430
CPU: 1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9
GPU: PowerVR SGX540
(they have more comparable specs)

Your specs for the T210 are wrong. T210 has Marvel cpu and very few devices are comparable.

i've read your cyanogenmod topic, and it said HWcomposer is not working.
Why is that? you dont have the Vivante GPU kernel drivers?
Also, i found github tree for Vivante GPU driver here: github.com/laanwj/mesa
SM-T210/R has Marvell PXA986, which contains Vivante GC1000 GPU :good:
sorry cant reply on your topic, cant post in development section.
