Even if they weren't bought, I will still hold my claim that antutu is pure BS and nothing can really change my mind since all the information about this simply doesn't add up if you look from all the other tests so yeah..I'm still against antutu. About the "better" thing. No, I know that the adreno is more powerfull, just not as much as antutu claims.. you sd820 guys can probably say the same if we compare sd VS exynos in quadrant benchmark where my exynos basically s*its on your sd820 right?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Xileforce:
The quadrant comparison isn't exactly fair. Considering if it was happening to the same degree here we would be scoring like 250k in antutu... Since it's almost 2x as high in quadrant.... And there's the fact that quadrant hasn't been updated since 2012... Wasn't designed for benching phones with this much power.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Kyukipo:
I don't even know what to say about mine. I got 82706 score... (Imgur image MASQQwg.jpg since I can't link...) I had pretty much everything closed and powersaver is off for sure. I've seen into 90k but not really past that.

On top of that Chrome just locks up on any large web page, the stock browser doesn't but I don't know what other issues will pop up. I'm 99% sure I got some kind of dud, because my Note 5 could open the same pages and be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeffir:
Same here, update your AnTuTu to v6.0.4 and you should be getting 30-50k more points. At least that's what 'fixed' it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Kyukipo:
Hmm, Well it bumped it up a bit... ranging from 135k to 111k.

Still confused as to why chrome is absolutely awful despite reinstalling and clearing it out, but that's not a benchmark issue. Oh well.

Best ever score on Exynos ? :)

However, please note: as soon as the phone starts to get even slightly warm, the scores plummet (especially the 3D goes from 40k to around 20k and RAM goes from 10.000 to 6000), I am getting as low as 100.000. Basically there is heavy throttling going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ausboy 2011:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Xileforce:
On s6 there was a special root method for it. I'm not too familiar though. I've always tripped Knox as fast as I could and removed the Knox bloat.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] lostsoul1:
either antutu is junk or my s7 edge is toying with me:

DL version 6.01.. 4 different times running it I was in the 86000's.. looked at what people got and I should have been getting 120K or more.. Saw this thread this morning.. ran again.. got 126K.. Went to that website to get version 6.0.4.. got it.. ran it.. got a 94K ... cleared everything out and tried again.. back to 128K.. wft.. I know things will change.. but thats so inconsistent why is this benchmark test worth anything
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] johanbiff:
Antutu sucks.. not even worth testing imo. The inconsistent scores and weird super scores for some phones that's technically not supposed to be benched that high or low.. it's just pure crap and that's why pros like anandtech don't use it in there tests.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Pilz:
They changed their 3D test and the others which is why they scoring is different. I don't think it's great, but its widely used hence why the majority of BM's in this OP are done in Antutu
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Xileforce:
In other news I just did a quick look through the source code for the exynos variant(it's all that's out ATM) and you can pretty easily oc the GPU up to 806mhz. I didn't check the CPU. Likely you would just have to make the voltage tables for the GPU oc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jbfountain:
Here's mine with the Qualcomm. It's a good score if you go by benchmark results. My M9 after the Marshmallow update scored 129xxx. Can't remember the exact score though. I really thought this phone would score higher being the 820 vs the 810, but I don't rely on benchmark scores anyway. Real world performance is the real test. It's definitely a bit faster than my S6 Edge Plus.

Cheers.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Xileforce:
Something is holding back our ux IO score compared to past devices. If you check compared to like a Nexus 6p or s6 it's wayyyy lower. Im not sure what the cause is atm.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Riggster:
Another thing that makes a big difference in benchmarks is the temperature of the device. I was playing around with mine yesterday and got a score in the 8X,XXX range, I forgot the exact score. 10 minutes in the freezer and it's back up to 135685. Having a case on your device and a lot of use will raise the temperature enough to lower your score to that degree. You can't watercool it in the same manner as a computer to increase your scores though I suppose you could run the benchmark while it was sitting in ice cold water. :) This is something I wont be doing tonight but something I might try to get my mark up to that level. Of course it's artificial and has no real world meaning but it's fun just to try to get the benchmarks that high.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jbfountain:
The freezer idea would be good. Put it in the freezer for 10 minutes then start the benchmark and put it back in the freezer for it to run. You'll definitely get higher scores.

There's definite thermal throttling going on with the SD820 (no surprises). Ran Antutu without any precautions (i.e. lots of apps open, BT connections ongoing etc..) and got a 119k. Not exceptional, but not far from the average. Just ran another one while the phone is fast charging (feels really quite hot to the touch), it only managed to get to 98k. Will do another well prepared test tomorrow when all is settled down, fresh restart apps closed wifi etc off to see how well this device can do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] johanbiff:
That's awesome:) would be an awesome score in 3D with that MHz burst

Are you running encryption though on ur benchmarks with the 6p? I would imagine almost all custom kernels have made if optional instead of forced on.

Mine outscored the exynos. I haven't fished through the thread but I'm assuming this is the same result as others. So I'm happy with mine

Yes I never decrypted my phone and still managed 134k on Anturu with my 6P. Kernels do make it optional I just didn't feel like wiping it to decrypt

Well, the Exynos is better at battery life, but it certainly sucks at 3D. And this is a benchmark thread, not a battery life thread. If you are a gamer, the SD820 is clearly better. If you are a non-gamer or business user, the Exynos is clearly better.

PS: I have the Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] johanbiff:
You know it's only like 6-10% worse in 3d? Compare the on-screen benchmarks and you will notice that. Suck? Really? Don't think so...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] johanbiff:
LOL don't use antutu as reference...ever! ;) look at the GFXbench benchmarks instead. On antutu the adreno 418 (Sd808) is as powerful as the t760mp8 in the s6..just let that one sink in a little ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hlenforcer:
Mmh the most strange thing i recognized are the differences between on- and offscreen tests. we talk about 2 devices with same screen resolution, so how can it be possible that there are only little differences between the 2 SoCs at onscreen tests and huge difference between offscreen tests? the only possible answer is benchmark detection, so cheating.....

so don´t you all think it is silly to compare a cheating SoC to a non cheating one? :rolleyes:

i don´t say, that the mali gpu is better, but the real world difference without cheating will be low, despite the advantage in architecture...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] johanbiff:
the Adreno 530 have a boost clock that boost the performance in benchmarks and games for a short amount of time, from what iv seen so far, the Mali does not... im waiting eigerly on Anandtech for his opinion between the 2 socs.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hlenforcer:
interesting fact, didn´t know that! isn´t this somehow a try to legitimate benchmark cheating? i mean looking at SoCs like SD810, such SoCs even can´t get their regular power achieved after longer period of time, so how will be the real world benefit of boosting? a much better score in benchmark apps that isnt able to represent the power you get while playing a graphic intense game...

while owning the exynos version usually i was an huge qc fanboy and was hating samsung for doing this benchmark cheating... now it seems that they changed roles!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Xileforce:
It's totally normal to have boost clock. The s6 had it too. You have to consider most games don't run the GPU at max clock speed. I used to profile my s6 all of the time playing games and it rarely got up to the higher clocks. The boost clock is for when something suddenly demands maximum power, it can temporarily boost up to a higher frequency in order to satisfy that. Almost all desktop GPUs do this too. Also even at boost clock, the adreno still runs at a slower mhz than the mali.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] johanbiff:
take a look at this. either the SD820 is porly optimized and have bad RAM management next to the 8890 or the 8890 is just plain better.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Xileforce:
Launching apps is heavily multithreaded. It makes sense that the exynos would have an advantage here. Use an app like perfmon by chainfire to monitor your cores in real time and launch an app. You will see all 8 get used. Nothing really new here. My s6 probably can launch apps as fast as my s7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hlenforcer:
No it cannot, but that's not the topic here... In fact there are only little gpu performance differences at proper onscreen benchmarks/real world fps tests and huge differences at offscreen tests or specific benchmark situations. So the adreno detects situations where rendering quality/resolution gets minimized to cheat at benchmarks, in fact...

Seems so, as I have had the same problem by installing MM 6.0.1 firmware with the UK csc code VOD (appearing as BTU on phone). The bootloader wouldn't let me flash TWRP through ODIN (sorry, could flash, but not boot into TWRP, stuck on bootloader).

So i took the provided MM 6.0.1. bootloader from Carotix CarHDRom, flashed it together with at the same place provided TWRP for

MM (the old 2.8.7.0/2.8.7.1 or even new TWRP 3.0 provided on the homepage of TWRP.me , won't work on MM) throught ODIN.

Within TWRP flashed hybridmax's S5E-AELKernel_MM...kernel 1.5 and superSU beta 2.67 (previosly stored/copied to the mobile device) and rebooted - rooted and all working fine.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
My understanding of a locked bootloader is that you can't flash anything that isn't official, including a replacement bootloader, which you indicate you did successfully. Otherwise Verizon Samsung customers would simply flash a new bootloader over their locked one. Ever TWRP wouldn't have flashed, it would have kicked out an error in Odin as you made the attempt because the bootloader wouldn't have allowed it. It sounds like your attempt at flashing it finished successfully, but just wouldn't boot into it. I'm wondering if this was caused by something other than the bootloader being locked.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coco722:
All possible. However, sometimes we'll just have to give it a try, by using the information and software available. I do have to mention, that my mobile is/was provider-free (not locked to a specific provider). But even a locked mobile can be handeld to get
