Galaxy Note 3 fights self, barely wins: Exynos 5 Octa vs Snapdragon 800 versions benchmarked
Samsung is outing the Note 3 in two versions, depending on what processor they'll contain. The variation for LTE carrier networks will be shipping with Qualcomm's top-shelf Snapdragon 800 - a quad-core chipset clocked at 2.3 GHz - while the others will receive Samsung's homemade Exynos 5 Octa, running on 1.9 GHz.
Which one is better for the Note 3? Well, they are both about the most powerful mobile chipsets you can get at the moment, so no sweat whether your phone is running one or the other.
As you can see in the video comparison below, pitting Note 3 N9000 vs N9005, the synthetic benchmark results are not with a difference that should make you lose any sleep over the chipset matter.
