The Cortex-A15 Exynos 5 Octa chip version just got benchmarked, though, and the results beat every other Android out there, including Samsung's own S4 variation with the Qualcomm chipset.





On Quadrant, the GT-I9500 model scored 12,726 points, which is higher than the HTC One , for instance, which was the fastest stock one so far in this test, though the S4 is still in the twelve hundreds range. A larger difference is seen in AnTuTu, though, where the Exynos 5 Octa-laden Galaxy S4 printed out 27,417 points - about 10% more than the highest score so far, achieved by the stock Snapdragon 600 version of Samsung's current finest.





Even the house pets heard already that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is arriving in two forms - with a Snapdragon 600 chipset or Samsung's own Exynos 5 Octa processor. There aren't as many Exynos 5 chips in production as there will be Galaxy S4 demand, so the initial batches are said to be 70:30 in favor of the Snapdragon variant , not to mention its LTE prowess.
