How fast is Samsung Galaxy Note 3? It is one of the fastest mobile devices in the world now. Powered by latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with quad core Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU. And loaded with 3GB of RAM. Will it slowdown with lot of applications loaded? How does 3D gaming perform? Let’s these benchmark scores tell you…
Galaxy Note 3 gets highest score in benchmark easily. In real world, it performs well too. The screen transition is smooth. And it is pleasure playing intensive 3D games. No lag at all even loaded with many applications (unless the games or apps itself has issue). However, performance will drop a bit when it is overheated. But it is still powerful compare to other mobile devices out there…
amazing
Just one thing to notice: Samsung cheats (maxoverclocks temporarily all “CPU” and “GPU” cores) at benchmarks, at least in S4 and N3 it has been heavily proven. The real test is in the games, but then again most of them don’t have FPS counters (actually almost all of them).
And as Jayce very accurately put it, there are slowdowns when overheating… this is an issue that also can’t be jumped over easily – same as temporary screen dims when temperature goes up. All in all tho, SnapDragon 800 is a powerful piece of hardware 🙂
Just because they Max out the CPU and gpu temporarily doesn’t mean they’re cheating ? Its not like they’re just making up the numbers ,the hardware is actually capable of delivering such power so I dont consider it cheating ,the only reason they limit the hardware in situations other than benchmarks is because the batterywoukld not last long
It IS cheating, because games actually don’t pull out those kind of numbers, they ran on slower core speeds both on “CPU” and “GPU” (“” cos they’re integrate). Also, it’s not possible to run for longer than a few minutes on max clock speeds because of the obvious thing, ie heat. That’s why there’s the autodim of the screen, slowing the cores and various other effects.
(Battery is quite a different animal, but yes, it’s also involved)
Coming back to the point, Samsung IS cheating.
So I’d rather use an honest producer’s device with even more power (sic!) – look at Sony’s Xperia Z1 Compact.
SnapDragon 800/Adreno 330 hardware combined with _HD_ screen means more horsepower than Snap 801 on FHD or even Snap 805 on QHD!
Of course, both devices (Note series and Z1 Compact) are dedicated to quite different users, but I personally know of one that has both of them and is quite happy about it : )
Not seen in comparative Xperia Z1, you know tell me about it man?
Asking me or PLANET?
Your…
Not see what again?
Just tried the anomaly 2 benchmark on Max settings on my tegra note 7, scored just over 890,000 :L
