CPU Performance - The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Review

CPU Performance

For those unfamiliar with the Snapdragon 805, I would refer back to our previous posts regarding this SoC. This is Krait’s final hurrah in a high-end SoC, and is likely to be the best smartphone SoC available for the next 4-6 months as it’s built on TSMC’s 28HPm process, which has strained silicon and high-k metal gate at the transistor level in order to improve performance and reduce power. In order to test the CPU and general CPU-bound performance, we turn to our standard test suite of browser benchmarks. As said before, I’m not quite happy with the state of this suite but for now it can work to provide a decent relative comparison.

Overall, the Snapdragon 805 performs about as well as one might expect, although the benefit from higher clock speeds is generally quite minimal.
