it's intel what did you expect,dual core vs what quad /octa core
intel rocks,don't care what anyone else has to say

So the intel is clocked at 2.0Ghz and the Exynos 5410 clocked at 1.6Ghz, now if this was Rooted and Cpu was raised at 2.0Ghz the scores would'ev reached 2900! So to be honest thats what the S800 would be on par! So this is not a big deal,,,,?

Well, for starters Intel uses larger transistors and half the high-speed cores. It's a big deal because if Intel can become a real contender in the mobile market, we all get to reap the benefit of better processor design from the drawing board, and not just what each individual chip manufacturer does to tweak ARM's original design.

Besides, if we're bringing rooting and overclocking up, we could do that to both phones. I doubt that Z2580 is without a healthy safety margin. Personally, this round goes to Intel for finally bringing their A game.

But it is still dual core.

dont u look at the pictures.
in there it says intel quad core !!!

Lenovo benchmark is better than Galaxy S4 but Galaxy S4 has more features.

Galaxy S4 Exynos variant has better benchmark

43. ebubekir26 (Posts: 337; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)

The Octa Core version Scored better
'''27 417''' compared to lenovo: '''25 827'''

yes, PhoneArena forgot to mention that

58. hung2900 (Posts: 966; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)

PhoneArena (and GSMArena too) also have the mistake between Antutu 2.x.x and Antutu 3.x.x
Galaxy note 2 has 17-19k in Antutu 3.x.x while Droid DNA has 19k-21k in Antutu 3.x.x

Still half the high-speed cores and larger transistors. No matter how you slice it, Intel has a good showing.

ARM is way ahead of intel! Did you no the E5410 is a entry level A15 chip, you've still got the 5420,5430,5440,and the mighty E5450 now imagine the E5450 clocked at 2.0Ghz, scores would reach 4800+™

52. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)

Bur still the same A15 E5410 could be overclocked to 2.3 and E5450 upto 3.0Ghz still Exynos chips are way bettet™®©

Stop saying larger transistors. Just because Intel uses FinFET/Tri-Gate transistors doesn't mean their transistors are "larger". Intel's 22 nm transistors are roughly 30% smaller than competing 28 nm transistors.

Yeah it did, but the Lenovo has a dual-core processor and was announced last year.

When it comes to a company wanting to be the Biggest, Fastest, Baddest, the first name that comes to mind is Intel..

So.. You're absolutely right. I would guess Intel has had its grumpy face on for a long time now while playing 2nd fiddle to ARM on ULV cores for hand held devices. I would hedge my bets they're currently throwing Billions of dollars into the R&D pit just to compete with ARM in order to beat them. After all, this is what they did to AMD....

I wonder what benchmarks you'd get out of a SGS4 Exynos octa clocked at 2ghz? I'm guessing it would be about the same, if not, faster than Intel.

Ultimately, I think the largest hurdle for Intel is low voltage battery management vs clock speed. As good as Intel is, this is the one area that they've struggled on with hand held devices for quite some time - but for sure they will catch ARM sooner or later. I think Intel need to shock the whole ULV game with a 1.2Ghz quad or octa ULV chipset that bested an A15 quad clocked at 1.7ghz. Something like that might make us all sit up and take them seriously.

Until then, I'll stick with ARM as they certainly know what they're doing.

ARM has the architecture advantage and Intel has the advantage that they are on a smaller process. By the time the Industry moves on to 20 nm process, Intel would have already moved to 14 nm process. Their transistors are gonna be 50% smaller and will consume about 30% less power as compared to the competition. That's a huge advantage.

Depending on where you are, it's a 1.9GHz quad core or a 1.6GHz 8 core.

But there's more to a processor than just clock speed or number of cores.

But the version that the K900 barely beat was the Exynos variant.

I'm well aware of that, but if the Exynos would've been overclocked to match the Atom it would've scored higher obviously.

already caught??? intel just not putting much efforts into in its mobile chips, that the only thing!!!

Intel is the most sophisticated chip manufacturer and if it exerts all its forces to mobile chip manufacturing, like it did on its computer chips, NO ONE CAN BEAT INTEL!!!

Are you kidding?Intel will crush ARM very soon.Apple has already decided to make in 2-3 years iOS devices powered by Intel.

i don't like intel for mobile, i prefere ARM. I think that ARM with with 64 bit Arm V8 run out Intel and smashes them completely. It go to start next year with Arm Cortex A57. Some day it will be in the desktop field.

49. nak1017 (Posts: 328; Member since: 08 Jan 2010)

ARM was in the desktop field, and it didn't work out so hot for them. Hence why Apple has Intel's in their desktop computers.

67. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)

Ok? Still doesn't change the fact that they are just now caught up in mobile. Whether they will beat out ARM in the near future is irrelevant to my comment, which still stands true.
