Benchmark for Verizon’s Galaxy S IV Surfaces, More Evidence For 1.9 Ghz Quad-Core

    Whenever the Galaxy S IV is going to be talked about, you need to realize that expectations are lofty, unrealistic and often wrong. Samsung’s latest phone is a pretty big deal not just for them but, for the whole Android landscape. After all, Samsung are dominating Android right now in sales and the Galaxy S III isn’t going to be an easy act to follow. Samsung are going to have to meet expectations as well, otherwise their stock might suffer like Apple’s did recently.

    Processing power in our pockets has risen exponentially in the last two years and even from the Galaxy S III, the quad-core S4 Pros that are roaming the place are making laptops look slow. There’s been a lot of speculation as to whether or not the Galaxy S IV is going to ship with Samsung’s own Exynos 5 “Octa” which, as the name would suggest, comes with 8 processing cores. Recent benchmarks that are slowly coming out of the woodwork, would suggest another Snapdragon S4 Pro variety. We covered a benchmark of a device that could be heading to Korea with a quad-core 1.9 Ghz CPU that looks a lot like a Korean Galaxy S IV.

    Now, a benchmark has surfaced on Nenamark, of a Samsung device with the same sort of processor that should be headed to Verizon’s network. The device’s name is Samsung SCH-I545 and just like the previous benchmark we covered, it’s packing a resolution of 1920 x 1080, an Adreno 320 GPU and a 1.9 Ghz Quad-Core CPU. While the benchmark doesn’t give us any more information than that it gives us an insight into what the Galaxy S IV should be packing in it.

    We’ve spoken about the use of Samsung’s Exynos 5 Octa before and while it might be a disappointment to some to not see if inside the Galaxy S IV, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a quad-core processor pushing those sort of speeds. If you thought the Galaxy Note II was fast, this is going to murder it. It’s a little bizarre to see Samsung using Qualcomm’s chips instead of their own Exynos processors but, just like with the Galaxy S III, this could have been done for LTE purposes.

    Whether or not this is the Galaxy S IV, it makes for a speedy device and I’m sure most of you ready this would be okay with a device packing those sorts of speeds, right?

As a big reader and writer nothing pleases me more than to write about the exciting world of Android and technology as a whole.

        I don’t know what device it is, but I bet that it’s not the S4.Samsung has developed a super ultra mega Chip like the Exynos Octa and the new flagship will get a standard Dual Core SoC from Qualcomm which has been used in several Smartphones like HTC’s One S or the Qualcomm Version of the Galaxy S3 for a year now?Oh and by the way: Qualcomms MSM8960 doesn’t even have an Adreno 320. Either it is a MSM8960T (or another Chip) or it’s got an Adreno 225.Looking at the Results the GPU got it should be an Adreno 320, but then it can’t be a MSM 8960.So the data from GLBenchmark is false anyway. Something appears fishy to much riding on the Galaxy S4 to see a qualcomm snapdragon S4 chip so i call B.S. on this one.

        Octa S4 or I’m sticking with my Galaxy S3. I’m extremely pleased with my phone as it is now and the only way Samsung is going to get more money out of me is if they seriously step up their game with an 8 core chip.

        Very well spotted @Richard Yarrell and well said, also knowing Sammy they might be doing this on purpose to stir things up to see what people are thinking, I doubt they be testing the phone anytime soon cause its not even due to come out for a little while now, also one thing I don’t like about this article is saying it will crush the note 2, I’m sorry I have a note 2 and I think its awesome, as a fellow PC overclocker I know to that finding programs to take advantage of these cores is not easy and till this day most game are just now supporting dual and quad core processors, so if its taken this long imagine how much longer it will take to support octa. I’m happy with my note 2 and it gets the job done, don’t find the need to upgrade anytime soon being that i just bought one and had top shell some big cash for it =)

        Dissappointed if true. Wished it would have at least the Snapdragon 800 (.28nm MSM8974 with Adreno 330). Although not tops in all benchmarks, it’s scores are decent and it has everything built-in into the SoC (GSM,HSPA+, CDMA, EVDO, LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, Wifi 802.11abgnac, GPS/GLONASS,etc.) which means no separate chips that use power to have all of those.
