Octa-core Galaxy S4 benchmarks surface, live up to expectations

So far, we've only got to evaluate the performance of the I9505 Galaxy S4, which is powered by the Snapdragon 600 chipset. SamMobile on the other hand were lucky enough to fiddle with the Exynos 5 Octa variant of the Galaxy S4 and make it sweat in some synthetic benchmark tests.

The tests in question are AnTuTu and Quadrant, both being all-round suites that gauge pretty much every component of the device - CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, etc. As you'd imagine the quad Cortex-A15s don't disappoint and posted amazing scores beating every device we have seen so far.

What we noticed from a screenshot of the AnTuTu benchmark was that the frequency of the CPU is reported as 1.8GHz. Samsung announced the Octa 5 Exynos variation of the Galaxy S4 is running at 1.6GHz for the Cortex-A15 cores and 1.2GHz for the Cortex-A7 cores. It could be possible that the market version of the device to arrive a bit more beefed than what Samsung's initial announcement suggested.
