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.

No GPU comparisons to Tegra K1?snake2332 - Thursday, October 23, 2014 - link
Probably because the K1 is considered a tablet-only technology for now, at least until it shows up in a phone/phablet.the snob - Thursday, October 16, 2014 - link
Could Amadtech include a more detailed analysis of the display technology of future phone reviews?I felt that in this regard, reviews from Displaymate trumps Anandtech. But while Displaymate reviews are more specialised and offer much more infomation, their reviews tend to be for popular phones which can generate hits and publicities for themselves. It might be Anadtech's interest to up their depth in this regard.
But other than that, I must say I am enjoying Post-Anand Anandtech as much as before. Good job Joshua, I hope Anadtech will go a long ways in their review contributions.

I kept spelling "Anandtech" wrongly, my most sincere apologies! : )edwardjames2014 - Thursday, October 16, 2014 - link
Actually, a lot of people were wrong about big phones. When Samsung first came out with the Note in 2011,I wasn’t the only one who laughed at the idea of a 5.3-inch smartphone. But I was wrong.This is trendency! The Note 4 is the most comfortable large-screened phone, Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 htt p://www.ca secoco.com/?031fackamato - Thursday, October 16, 2014 - link

Is there the latency shot charts/graphs in the article because I don't seem to see them. Thanks.SydneyBlue120d - Thursday, October 16, 2014 - link
I'd like to know more about audio quality and about the MDM9x35 real world performance. Thanks.heartinpiece - Thursday, October 16, 2014 - link
Will you be reviewing the Exynos version as well?If i'm not mistaken, it sports a A53+A57 (but running 32bit Android)
