Apart from Torque Mobile, almost all the local brands have already released their respective “flagship” devices running on an octa-core processor. But that will no longer be the case soon as the company is set to unveil its first octa-core smartphone in the form of the Droidz Marvel FHD.

Torque Droidz Marvel FHD specs:

5-inch Full-HD IPS display@ 1920×1080 pixels, 440ppi

Torque Philippines has yet to formally launch the Droidz Marvel FHD in the country and the feature set listed above was just seen on one of the flyers that they’re giving out to their customers and curious on-lookers.

Apart from some of its specs, another thing that was listed on the flyer was the handset’s SRP. When launched, the Torque Droidz Marvel FHD will retail for Php12,499.

Samsung announces new Exynos 5 Octa and Hexa chipsets

February 26, 2014February 26, 2014 Louie Diangson Leave a comment

Samsung Electronics has annouced its two new Exynos processors for mobile devices, the Exynos 5 Octa (Exynos 5422) and the Exynos 5 Hexa (Exynos 5260).

The Exynos 5422 is Samsung’s advanced Exynos 5 Octa product for its premium mobile devices. It is equipped with eight cores; four big cores (ARM Cortex – A15 up to 2.1 GHz) for heavy loads and four small cores (ARM Cortex – A7 up to 1.5 GHz) for lighter jobs. The new processor promises to deliver up to 34% higher performance compared to previous Exynos Octa models and can save power consumption by up to 10%.

In addition, the Exynos 5422 supports high-resolution displays such as WQHD (2560 x 1440) and WQXGA (2560 x 1600) and utilizes advanced Multi Format Codec (MFC) that supports 4K UHD resolution.

Next is the Exynos 5260, which is powering the recently announced Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo, is equipped with six CPU cores; two 1.7GHz ARM Cortex -A15 cores and four 1.3GHz ARM Cortex -A7 cores. It promises up to 42% improved performance compared to previous Exynos 5 Dual products. Like its octa-core brother, the Hexa supports high-resolution displays and 1080p playback at 60fps.

The Exynos 5422 Octa will enter mass production in the first quarter of 2014, while the Exynos 5260 Hexa is already in production.

What’s the catch with Samsung Galaxy S4 Exynos 5 Octa?

March 23, 2013March 23, 2013 yuga Leave a comment

Since the announcement of Samsung’s Galaxy S4, there’s been much buzz about the Exynos 5 Octa chip that came with it. Folks tend to think of the Exynos 5 Octa having an octa-core CPU which, by number alone, will sound better than a quad-core counterpart. Truth is — the Exynos 5 Octa will only run at a maximum of 4 cores at a time, not 8.

We noticed that the misconception with a lot of consumers is that the Galaxy S4 (Exynos 5 Octa) can actually run all of the 8 CPU cores at one at maximum power.

In reality, only one of the 4-cores will run depending on the requirements. For most of the regular processes (SMS, calls, browsing, Twitter, FB, Instagram, Camera, etc), only the slower ARM Cortex A7 cores (200MHz to 1.2GHz per core). For more intensive number-crunching requirements, the faster ARM Cortex A15 cores will kick in (200MHz to 1.6GHz per core). This is what is referred to as the big.LITTLE architecture that we discussed here before.

The switching is done flawlessly on the hardware level so the OS or the system will never see this and will only recognize 4-cores at any time.

In hindsight, the Exynos 5 Octa is not really an octa-core chip but more of a 4+4 core chip in the same way that the Nvidia Tegra 3 is not a penta-core (5-core) chip but a 4+1 core chip.

So, the next important question now becomes — is the Exynos 5 Octa any better when it actually behaves like any other quad-core chip around, like the Snapdragon 600 which is also used in the Galaxy S4?

The answer — it depends. We know that the BIG core is powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 so that will count for something. We have yet to see any benchmark results ourselves but we’re hoping it will perform better than the scores we got from the Galaxy S4 running a Snapdragon 600.
