The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is powered by a Samsung-made Exynos 4412 Quad-core chipset with four Cortex-A9 cores clocked at 1.6GHz, 2GB of RAM and a Mali-400 GPU. We've put it head to head with some of the best quad-cores around.
It features the same internals as the Samsung Galaxy Note II, and while that may have been enough to top the charts back when the Note II was released, the pack has moved on since.
In Benchmark Pi the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 scores about the same as the Galaxy Note II, but is largely bested by most of the recently announced flagships out there.
