Its all about bragging rights really. Same as Samsung is doing with regards to Octa.

The the chip that could run at 3GHz could also very well run at 1GHz at just 0.6V (so consuming far lesser power than anything else in the market). A dual core at 1GHz is still good enough for all mundane tasks like playing videos or internet browsing etc. So in practice it would have been a very efficient solution. It was a real innovation really. Sadly the company did not have money to pour more funds into the program and has shut it.

It was demonstrated at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in february this year.

Anyway point is, we did not need extra set of power efficient cores like Samsung is doing. We ran the same cores that could do crazy high speeds and even crazier power efficient mode! Thats a very neat solution.

Heres a press link: http://www.itproportal.com/2013/02/25/mwc-2013-exclusive-dual-core-st-ericsson-novathor-l8580-soc-crushes-competition-benchmarks/

To quote the article:
[One (M7) General] Try4Ce:
Actually, no. At least not in my opinion. Octacore means 8 cpu cores on one cpu-chip.

I would see it like this:

You have 2 houses on your lawn which are beside each other. Every house has 4 rooms. You have to switch houses to open up the rooms. Just like the Exynos "Octa" has to, since it cannot run both CPU's at the same time.

If you are in a house with 8 rooms, you cannot simply be in all 8 rooms at once. You can connect the open doors between all the rooms, and since your in that house, you can freely walk in every room. But not with that implementation.

I wouldn't call the Exynos "Octa" an Octacore, its a dual CPU system with a 2x4 cores, with the difference that regular desktop dual CPU systems can use both CPU units at once, but not like the Exynos "Octa". Still, dual quad system comes closer than a pure octacore system.

This is kind of a hybrid. Nice technology for a mobile device, but at the same time, kind of unneeded / inefficient, compared to regular quadcore systems. Even the Tegra 3 system with 4 active cores and 1 companion core for standby tasks seems more efficient (in terms of "used space" and ressources).

Ah well let's see how the supposed and so called "octacore" will score in the future...
[One (M7) General] dawg00201:
processor differences

okay I know both processor are snapdragon 600's but why is the galaxy S4's processor clocked at 1.9 ghz and the HTC One's processor is clocked at 1.7 ghz is it just an instance of samsung overclocking the s600 or are they different variations of the same processor, I have done some research and am able to find no clear answer to this question even on the snapdragon website????????
[One (M7) General] shox22:
They should be identical. I think its just a manufacturer choice. But it could also be associated to termals or battery.

Cause Samsung took the higher frequency chips, there is the possibility that they also get the "better" chips: Lower Voltage for the same frequency. But thats just an assumption.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Could be for battery, HTC has a smaller battery in their device so don't want it to die down as quickly.
[One (M7) General] strip419:
Samsung and arm have made it clear that, the BIG.little soc is made to offer performance when needed and save energy when power is not need.

Is the soc an octa core? Literally yes, cos it has a total of 8 core,Technically no.

So Samsung have done no wrong by calling it octa because in natural sense that's it's name.

There is still no proff of power drain or heat issues ( !CAME ON! Sammy have done a great job CPU wise since the galaxy s). Personally I doubt Sammy will launch it's flagship with CPU problems. So before you talk, please make enough research. I won't be surprised if it turns out to be best CPU of 2013
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
It is a marketing thing in a sense. Nvidia never called their SoC pentacore. They called it quad core with a powersaving core. Samsung have gone with octa to make it better than it is.
[One (M7) General] barondebxl:
Yes it is a marketing thing, nothing wrong with that though as they are the first in the market with a big LITTLE SoC, i would market the sh*t out of it if i was them too. I dont think the octa name is exaggerated, after all it does have 2x 4 core cpus right? And samsung did explain how it works....
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Oh yea its fine for it but the amount of people I have seen go on as if it will run all 8 at once and be more powerful than anything ever it is also misleading. But I agree if you have it market it.
[One (M7) General] barondebxl:
Yeah you're right. Unfortunately most people don't bother to read and understand. 8 cores all at once will make the phone explode lol.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
But I would be very much eager to face a person bragging about the 8core thing, dare him to a benchmark and watch his face as he see the very little difference of his 8core to a 4core lol! That would be a good oh sh!t moment :p

And yeah maybe I could hear a bonus epic fail line like

"Oh crap! 4 cores of my processor is broken! Gonna RMA it"

:D this would really make my day!

And would really be freaking happy to see him crying and mad at samsung when he end up get rejected about his RMA and learn that its really just also a measly 4core in the end.
[One (M7) General] XxVcVxX:
Technically, having a Octa wouldn't make a difference in a normal everyday app. A dual core Cortex A15 would be as fast and also consumes a lot less power than the big.LITTLE octa. Most apps these days use only 2 cores, except a few THD games as Tegra needs the performance.

The software on the big.LITTLE would be extremely hard to manage since the kernel needs to figure out which cluster to use, and since the A7s has a higher clock than the A15s, and judging from the past Samsung's software, I would assume that the kernel is ****ed up and the A7s would probably run in games and intensive apps because the apps would call a higher clock and the kernel would switch to the A7s if Samsung doesn't code it properly. All this is speculation though.

[One (M7) General] Large Hadron:
The A7s are not clocked higher than the A15s. That was an error one website made (can't remember which, but it never made sense). The A15s are clocked up to 1.8 GHz, confirmed in benchmarks and reviews of the Exynos S4.
[One (M7) General] i9100g user:
Big.LITTLE is more flexible than nvidia 4+1, so you cannot call it same as tegra 4+1

[One (M7) General] i9100g user:
Yeah originally it is but big.LITTLE supports HMP model which would let any no of cores be used at a time,from both clusters.

Which would make it a

Where as Nvidia's 4+1 is just the way it is told to be.

Fair enough :P I imagine it is completely unnecessary at the moment and will destroy the battery life of the device when all 8 are on. Heat may be a problem too.
[One (M7) General] i9100g user:
Right using all 8 cores would be unnecessary,though using cores in various configuration could be very useful,giving balance between battery and performance.

It reminds me of the Vivid/GS2. Well it could've been the Skyrocket, but whichever version of the S2 used the same SoC as the Vivid, was clocked @ 1.5GHz while the Vivid was clocked @ 1.2GHz. I always thought it was due to battery efficiency.

[One (M7) General] BenPope:
Yes of course they will be more powerful.

However, question is whether they have better performance/Watt.
[One (M7) General] strip419:
:eek::what::what::eek::eek::what::eek::what::eek:
[One (M7) General] i9100g user:
A7 cores are very power efficient and since it is a quad core(better multi threaded performance compared to one low power core A15 in t4) clocked at 1.2ghz so it would be used for more tasks compared to that 1 low power A15 core in t4.

If we will use those little cores for majority of time (which would most likely happen here) power savings would be great.

As for tegra I don't know how many tasks that low power A15 core can handle, so I think quad A15s would run for majority of time ,consuming more power.

So, sometimes, on recovery (rarely, though), while flashing, my phone crashes. I flashed an SDS safe ROM/recovery and haven't looked back since, since there were no symptoms before then. But I'm starting to worry, because I had to restore the stock ROM once, after it crashed during flashing, and won't go into anywhere but download.

My ROM info is in my signature, and recovery is PhilZ, latest (4.91.2, I believe). I have Triangle Away, set to auto reset at boot. So, if it's at 0/Offical/No, they should replace my phone if it goes SDS, right?

If you have a SDS safe kernel and your phone crashes, look at your kernel log (adb bugreport) and if you find eMMC errors, it might be related to SDS.

Same firmware does not prevent freezing

Hi I have the same firmware and and running stock too, bought my UK sim free Note2 N7100 last year on launch, however it has started freezing since last 2 weeks, I restored to factory default but started crashing/freezing as soon as I started restoring my data, took to Samsung service centre who seemed to think it was software related and restored again and told me to load one app at a time. Useless as it is still crashing even though I have not updated any of the preinstalled software.

I have now been told it needs to go to Samsung level 3 techies as service centre not aware of any bugs - will not comment on internet reports, this means the phone will be sent to Poland for repair and I am left without a phone for 2-3 weeks. I had an appointment booked at their "Flagship store" for a week in advance and was called day before to be told they were cancelling the appointment because they are refurbishing the store and could have one in about two weeks!!!
