8 cores in a mobile device is clearly a first and Samsung were likely to be the company to bring it to us BUT what's the point?

Is it just me who sees that as excessive?

There's not a chance that we'll even TRULY feel the power of the extra 4 cores. 4 cores aren't generally needed in other phones as there's only a small handful of games which actually use all the power. Even in those games, the most you're gonna have is a very sought amount of extra power.

Technology is still a few years away from needing 8 cores in a phone so really there's no point as the end user won't feel a difference in the slightest.

I'll admit it's a clever gimmick to sell more but, in my opinion, that's all it is.

What do others think?
[Galaxy S 4 General] AndreiLux:
This has been discussed to death, the point is for power efficiency without losing peak performance. That's the only and single reason this exists. You will have excellent battery life in every-day tasks due to it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] anuseb89:
samsung people are mainly concentrating on specifications.. in order to match with xperia z waterproof and htc one 's features , the only thing they can do is sticking with ultra high spec..it is lookwise galaxy note 2 only..no doubt..so may be spec will be their primary concern...
[Galaxy S 4 General] KidCarter93:
The S3 does a more than good enough job in that regard though and there's only gonna be a certain amount of space for improvement. A whole 4 cores extra will leave purge majority of its power wasted. 6 cores, fair enough (to an extent) but not that many.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Optimusic:
Samsung always tries to set a new standard regarding specs.

So they try to push other mobile facturers to do the same.

Also I think they use an 8 core so the S4 doesnt outdate that quickly.

Plus that it can actually be batterysaving tot have an 8 core over a 4 core CPU.

But this is just my opinion :P.
[Galaxy S 4 General] yahyoh:
u can't compare A9 cores with A15 cores

A15 slightly use more power ( thats the biggest problem on A15 cores ) :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaykresge:
It is not a "real" 8-core CPU. It consists of two quad cores that alternate. One is a high end CPU that blows away previous hardware. The other is a low powered but efficient CPU that literally sips battery life. The phone alternates between the two based on the task at hand. Basically, you will never be using more than 4-cores and that is by design.
[Galaxy S 4 General] rootedlikeatree:
ThankKresgege - that's good to know. I wasn't sure exactly how they were going to be utilizing the 8 cores, but what you just said makes complete sense. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Optimusic:
So, you will use the powersufficient cores most of the time (which is actually more batteryfriendly than the CPU in S3), and use the superultra high-end CPU when you need some incredible amount of power?
[Galaxy S 4 General] cyrusalmighty:
Could 8 cores finally push the ppsspp(PSP) emulator to work better? I know the app is still beta but I tried it on Tablet with Quad core Tegra 3 clocked at 1.4ghz & the frames froze so much the game was unplayable. If anyone has tried God of War in the emulator you know what I mean.lol.
[Galaxy S 4 General] skivnit:
Why don't you get that the phone is not 8 cores. People need to stop with this.its like having two phones in one.one for browsing and low Cpu usage the other one is for heavy gaming etc etc. Its not 8 cores running at the same time
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tony_YYZ:
lol, so many people in here just refuse to read.
[Galaxy S 4 General] TingTingin:
@OP The 8 cores are not meant for power they are meant to save it the power hungry a15s will drain more battery whereas the a7s use considerably less the a15s will only be used when necessary meaning u will be saving alot battery

I have a feeling were gonna be addressing this alot

[Galaxy S 4 General] timothyung:
It is not an octa-core phone by any means if you call the Tegra 3 quad-core. If Samsung dares to claim this thing (4+4) octa-core, the Tegra 3/4 (4+1)is penta-core.

The S4 (international) have 4 A7 cores clocked at (1.2GHz?) and another 4 A15 cores @1.6GHz. The two sets of cores can never run at the same time. This is the big.little idea - A7 cores are more efficient and are used for light tasks, the A15 cores are power hungry but have more horsepower. So it is designed to save energy when compared to only 4 A15 cores.

However whether this or Snapdragon's Krait save more energy is still unknown as of now. Benchmarks have shown the S4 having a very similar performance with the HTC One (w/ Snapdragon 600).

For me, Samsung took this approach due to two benefits: power saving (as said above) and a marketing gimmick. Uninformed people may likely scream "Wow, 8-cores on a phone? That must be powerful!" after watching their ads, so the S4 may sell more.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4niven:
There are a plethora of kernals available for the i9300 but being a bit of a noob I'm wondering what the differences and benifits are in each...coding, features or otherwise?

I have personally being using WanamLite 4.1.2 roms for the past 8months or so, recently updating from LLA Tto MB5. And about two weeks before updating I switched from Siyah 1.8.9 to Boeffla 2.7-2.8 and personally found that battery life was improved. I'm still running Boeffla on MB5 however Wanam has now released his Adam kernal. I know other kernal are available but what are differences as I mentioned above.

Any info would be great guys.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oorjoock:
The differences are:

-battery life (as you've said) for kernels like phenomenal, hydrx-d (for example)

-sound improvements for kernels like boeffla

-speed

various kernels work differently on various sgs3's so just test em and choose which one you like more

Re: [Q] i9300 Kernals...?

Ahh ok I was wondering why I couldn't find much on this topic.

I'm not looking to be told which is the best or any form of heads up between kernals.

It's just often I see 'tweaked'. So I was hoping to find out in what way each kernal is tweaked and how will this affect things.

Just plain facts so people can make up their own mind.

Thought it would be good to have a centralised location for a discussion that covers this. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Re: [Q] i9300 Kernals...?

It's worth having a really in depth look at the kernel threads, and following links to ie. Governors explained, and stuff like that, it takes a while to get to grips with it, but then half the fun is going through the learning process, finding the facts, building the picture, gaining understanding, the main point to note I'd that most custom kernels come with fully functioning and optimized default set up, so you don't need to do anything initially giving you tinge to figure out how all the functions effect performance.

As always reading lots is the key ;)

If the users of this forum followed the rules then their would be room for such a kernel thread providing someone is willing to update it daily .

However as users do not follow the rules the forum is a clogged up mess .

Guess how many multiple what kernel posts would still be posted after such as topic was stickied many many as many users prefer to post instead of read sadly .

But as i said PM a dev with your idea .

Re: [Q] i9300 Kernals...?

Not being a dev myself. My idea was to have a centralised location, here, where the kernal dev's could state exactly what they had tweaked and possibly what the benefits are.

So many kernals seem to offer the same features, but nothing really gets down to the nity grity.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] barjohn:
I have now tried both radio stacks in my ATTWS SX-56. I am on ATTWS service so this may make a difference and those that have TMO as their service provider may have a different experience.

The TMO stack does not keep the GPRS connection anywhere near as well as the ATTWS stack. It drops the connection quite frequently. Also, the signal strength is far lower and it tends to hunt for a signal that the ATTWS stack finds easily. Others can post their experience so that those considering changing their radio stack can make an intelligent decision. :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Yes I believe the service makes a difference!

I'm on T-Mobile and my signal strength/GPRS connection is a lot better than it was with the AT&T radio stack. But I'm pretty sure the newer ROM has a lot to do with too.

Note: One should remove/disable both the T-Mobile Today Plug-in and the battery monitor, that should improve your performance.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] barjohn:
Why would removing these help? Are ther particular files that are required to be deleted or is it just a registry entry?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] mdavidm:
I previously had the AT&T radio stack installed with 4.00.01 and later 4.00.05 WM2003PE on the T-Mobile network. It worked well, but occassionally the GPRS connection would remain dormant following a voice call. It appeared to remain connected, but would not send or receive data. I have since upgraded to the TMo 6.24 radio stack and 4.00.10 WM2003. My voice reception seems marginally better, as does the GPRS data speed, but the greatest improvement is that the GPRS connection seems more stable and becomes active again following voice connections.

[Galaxy S 4 General] nhariamine:
What is overclocking?

Overclocking is the process of making a computer or component operate faster than the clock frequency specified by the manufacturer by modifying system parameters. One of the most important techniques is running at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second; hence the name "overclocking"), but other parameters, such as CPU multiplier and memory timings, can also be changed and would be considered to be overclocking. Operating voltages may also be changed (increased), which can increase the speed at which operation remains stable. Most overclocking techniques increase power consumption, generating more heat, which must be dispersed if the chip is to remain operational.

Advantage:

Higher performance in games, encoding, video editing applications, and system tasks at no additional expense, but with increased electrical power consumption. Overclocking can extend the useful life of older equipment. Adding noticible response time for multitasking and powerhungry applications and games.

Disadvantages:

Overclocking if it's not done with moderate rate can be very risky and potentialy might permanantly damage your device's hardware, plus it can cause a slight battery drain. If it's done correctly then you're good to proceed.

Undervolting :

Undervolting is reducing the voltage of a component, usually the processor, reducing the voltages of each step less than the original stock voltages.

Advantages:

Increase of Battery life.

The heat that come from the processor reduces.

Disadvantages:

Undervolting if it's applied correctly then it's good, Hard undervolting might make the device unstable and potentily will lead to bootloops and freezes.

CPU

Maximum clock that could be applied on The Galaxy S4 is XXXXmhz and the minimum is XXX mhz . I will add the stock clock values as soon as possible.

More to come asap !

now the offical MIUI team finally confirmed. miuiv5 for nexus devices (android 4.2.x) will be tested and release the first beta version in the end of April. but because google didn't release android 4.2.x for Nexus S and it is too old, so they will not port miuiv5 for it.

i think google Galaxy Nexus will be supported first, then they will port it to nexus4 or nexus7
