NVidia’s Tegra 3 processor has been the most popular quad-core processor for tablets and smartphones alike while Samsung’s Exynos 4 Quad processor is only seen perform on the Galaxy S3.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 (Krait) is the closest competitor to NVidia and Samsung although it’s just a dual-core chip.

Qualcomm’s now seeding out a tablet that features their SnapDragon S4 Pro APQ8064 quad-core processor. It’s only for developers for now but if you want an unit to play with, it’s selling it for $1,299 here.

The Verge ran a number of synthetic benchmarks on the tablet (comes with 2GB RAM) with the results shown above. The Quadrant score is right thru the roof while Antutu Benchmark is roughly 30% – 40% higher than the Exynos 4 Quad and Tegra 3.

At this time it sounds like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

John · 14 years ago

using 4.1.1 on my galaxy nexus, it is fast and smooth.. almost same na sya ng iPhone, but i believe wp7 is still better on this area than both OS.

Snapdragons are really the best. It’s really faster compared to its direct price competitors.

John · 14 years ago

Yes yes yes, they are ! x

what does this mean? This processor is faster than the one found in Samsung Galaxy S3 even though its running on a Dual Core chip?

It does not really matter whether it is dual core or quad core, most of the differences in benchmarks is because of the GPU. S4 Pro has the same CPU with S4, but with different GPU. That is what made the difference.

YES, the Snapdragon S4 (dual core) is faster than the Exynos 4 Quad as the chip was based on a 28 nanometer architecture (whilst the Exynos is built using a 32nm arch.). This is the new one though… It’s the next iteration of the dual core S4 krait. This chip is the fastest of them all with Tegra 3 being the weakest.
