Samsung Galaxy S-2 Running The Strongest Processor!

There are some interesting findings published on Samsung Galaxy S II. Based on the Mali-400 core it is the first one in the lineup of smartphones to use the graphics processing unit and it is developed by ARM Holdings. For this device Samsung has manufactured system-on-a-chip system.
This processor chip is called Exynos 4210 and It combines recently mentioned Mali-400 GPU and a dual-core Cortex-A9 CPU core and makes four cores. The speed got by the 4210 is comparable to the Texas Instruments’ OMAP 4 chip. OMAP 4 chip incorporates to the Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR SGX540 GPU core. But the quad-core 1.2GHz Exynos 4210 is not comparable to the iPhone 5. It is likely to be carrying the same dual-core processor-GPU combo as iPad 2 had.

The results are very good by the implantation of Mali-400’s 4-core version by the Samsung. It will not be as fast as PowerVR SGX 543MP2 which comes in iPad 2. But it is 1.7 – 4x faster than any smartphone found today.

By the GL Benchmark it can be seen that from Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Exynos 4210 works faster as twice of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Galaxy Tab 10.1 includes Nvidia’s Tegra 2 chip in it which is four times faster than 800 MHz A4 chip of iPhone, it supports the PowerVT SGX535 GPU core. But in the triangle throughput department the 4210 remains behind. This is a big disadvantage; it is over the iPad 2′s A5 processor, over original iPad’s A4 chip the performance of graphics of iPad 2′s A5 processor is clocked nine times.

In games with high graphics, triangle throughput is very important. It is the key In the future games, these games may scale along the vector instead of the complexity of pixel shaders are increased.
