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.

SunSpider 1.0.2 Benchmark  (Chrome/Safari/IE)

Kraken 1.1 (Chrome/Safari/IE)

Google Octane v2  (Chrome/Safari/IE)

WebXPRT (Chrome/Safari/IE)

BaseMark OS II - Overall

BaseMark OS II - System

BaseMark OS II - Memory

BaseMark OS II - Graphics

BaseMark OS II - Web

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

    I know this thread was several days ago, but . . .

    I think part of the fun is catching people off guard, esp. those who have to check Wikipedia to see if something is funny!! :)

    He got fired few months ago.

    Perhaps you should look up the definition of "fired."

    It is quite obvious and pathetically sad in regards to Apple reviews here.

    The iPhone reviews normally go up weeks after the phone launches, what's different about this one that requires it to go up unfinished?

    There was a preliminary ip6 review a few days after just like this.
