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.

Where are the final comments?JoshHo - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
Apologies, things were a bit hectic in order to meet the embargo. The conclusion is done but some aspects are still incomplete. I should be finished within the next hour.Try-Catch-Me - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
Anand would never allow this.CoreDuo - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
Except it did happen even when Anand was around. In a few GPU reviews by Ryan Smith and when Brian Klug wrote the smartphone reviews, they did on occasion go up incomplete when there was not enough time between when they got the products to review and the embargo date. They have always been finished within 24 hours of publication though.Try-Catch-Me - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
Relax. I'm just making a joke like how people kept saying "Steve would never allow that".kron123456789 - Thursday, October 16, 2014 - link
LoL. Turns out, that New Exynos 7 Octa and Exynos 5433 in Note 4 are the same SoC))http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconduct...

They just decided to market the 5433 as a Exynos 7 series, however there are more in the 7 series (7420) coming out as pointed out in my article.noelbonner - Tuesday, November 11, 2014 - link
There are a number of higher rated phones, I recommend seeing http://tinyurl.com/p7dujj9 among others.windycity23 - Monday, November 9, 2015 - link

A joke you say? Don't quit your day job just yet to become a comedian because I don't see any joke here as I failed to get the humor and I'm not laughing either. Next time, put a smiley or something so we can decipher your cryptic intentions: ;)
