[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kernel ranger:
Now that is an objective observation that I like because that's exactly what changed my mind from exynos to snapdragon. I have also had an exynos previously, yes it does feel snappy but the battery goes just as fast as the processor runs.

Here's something further for you to consider...... think of it as a refinement of the claim that the exynos beats the snapdragon in performance.

Now if we cared to look carefullly the exynos does beat the snapdragon, but what exactly does that mean and why is it so?????

Looking at the areas that snap takes a hit greatly it will be noted that it only happens in web based applications (chrome, html5, firefox, e.t.c) and RAM performance benches, now lets really ask ourselves, does it really matter????..... To answer this we need to look at the web based benchmarks for both:-

As you can clearly see the difference between the two is between 4-20%, so what does this mean in real world application?

Let's work with the worst figure shown in the benchmark which is 20% so if am opening a webpage with the exynos in 1sec, the SD would be 1.2sec given that it is 20% slower. Seriously will 0.2sec even matter for a moment???? Will you even notice that 0.2sec difference unless you have both devices and just want to run benches all day all year round just to feel that the Exynos is faster than the SD???

I hardly think so, this is why I think most Exynos users are mindlessly choosing it without really seeing what its so projected "better performance" actually means in real world applications.

Another thing that SD does Exynos one more better than that, is its RAM benches indicate that it is 61-69% poorer than the Exynos but still maintains a fierce fight against the Exynos because the overall score for SD at the end of the day is 46,910 vs Exynos score of 48,430 (an overall performance difference of 3.2% between the two :laugh: ) . Check this out:-

With that said it is quite clear that the SD is kinda handicapped but even with one arm tied behind it, it is still able to rival the Exynos quite competitively which means that the SD far outperforms and is actually far superior to the Exynos even if it has a slightly backdated lithorgraphy. Anyone with the Exynos will want to defend their decision and find this extremely hard to swallow but unfortunately it is the bare truth that they can't refute and as if that's not enough the SD gives better battery life than the Exynos. So the Exynos may have 64bit capability, lets imagine for a sec even if we know that the chances are extremely slim that it gets activated. Now, 64bit would only make sense for applications that utilize ram of 4GB and above, seriously thinking, what apps can actually do that at the moment?... absolutely none! So again it is flawed to think that the 64bit capability is reason enough to ditch the SD, for all you know that 4GB ram will never be exclusively available to run a single app to really see the difference in performance.
