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.

If you can't see or understand the difference between a Galaxy Note 4 and a Galaxy S5, I really don#t see what you're doing commenting technology. Cementing the prejudice that iPhone buyers have no clue about technology and should always be considered the last people to ask for advice from?melgross - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
Really? I always thought it was Android users who thought that way. I guess you never know.KPOM - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
I'm as big a techie as anyone on lots of subjects but am an Apple fan. There is a lot of advanced technology underneath the pretty Apple UI.Ratman6161 - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
Little bit of trolling there? Since the iPhone 6 plus has only been out a couple of weeks I find it hard to believe that switching phones is actually an option. Unless you are fabulously wealthy then what a surprise...you aren't going to dump your brand new phone for something else.KPOM - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
The OP could be within the return window for the 6 plus.melgross - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
But no one would be nuts enough to do that.mkozakewich - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
If you get a custom back plate with Doge on it, it will have wow factor. Such custom. Very shibe.Tams80 - Thursday, October 16, 2014 - link
The iPhone 6 Plus just looks like a iPhone 6... oh, wait.xype - Wednesday, October 15, 2014 - link
"Overall, the design of the Galaxy Note 4 is massively improved. "Uh… it}s still ugly though. So maybe _slightly_ improved?

Uh, or we really couldn't care much less about you trying to BEND the interpretations of things here...
