Alleged Samsung Galaxy S6 benchmark shows savory specs and performance
Talk about it at AndroidForums: Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge
Someone might have taken the Samsung Galaxy S6 for a spin in Antutu’s benchmark system recently. What did the scan reveal? The phone we’ve been hearing about for quite some time. Rumors of Samsung going with Exynos over Qualcomm’s Snapdragon seem to have held up as the Exynos 7420 was identified as the device’s chipset.
Currently we know it’s an octa-core chipset that can reach clock speeds of up to 2.1GHz. No word on if it’s 64-bit or not just yet, but we’d be pretty disappointed if it isn’t. Other specs revealed include a 20 megapixel rear camera, a 5 megapixel front camera, 3GB of RAM and a 2560 x 1440 display — again, stuff we’ve already been expecting.
What’s most interesting, though, is the result of the benchmark in areas of performance. The Exynos 7420 apparently outscored NVIDIA’s Tegra K1 by 10,000 points in 3D performance, which is just about double. That said, the two chipsets seem to be on equal footing in all other areas.
We’ve also learned not to put much stock into these benchmarks with companies known to juke the stats. Even if the Exynos 7420’s real-world performance doesn’t exceed Tegra K1’s by a mile it should still be a very powerful chipset worthy of being featured inside Samsung’s latest flagship. We’ll know more once we hit the ground in Barcelona next month.
