Earlier you guys saw what Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2 brings to table in terms of its specs. Now let’s take a look at how MediaTek’s Octa-Core processor fared on our usual synthetic benchmark tests.

We were quite excited to see what kind of numbers we’ll get from this engine because this is the first smartphone powered by the “world’s first true Octa-Core SoC” from MediaTek we get to test. So without further ado here are the results we got during our test:

AnTuTu MT6592

On AnTuTu Benchmark, the Cosmos Z2 scored 22,911 which is miles away from the score we got from the LG G2 (34,056) and NVidia Shield (38,746).

Quadrant MT6592

The MT6592 fared better in Quadrant Standard Edition. Although the score (16,169) is still lower compared to the results we saw from the Snapdragon 800 and Tegra 4 processors, the margin isn’t that high compared to the previous test.

Surprisingly, unlike other GPUs found on high-end SOCs, the Mali-450MP didn’t reach the NenaMark2’s ceiling of 60fps during our test. The highest score we got from the Cosmos Z2 was only 56.9fps.

Vellamo MT6592

Lastly we have the Vellamo Mobile Benchmark results which are a bit underwhelming to say the least. The Cosmos Z2 only managed to get 1,901 on HTML5 test and 630 on Metal. In retrospect, the NVidia Shield got a score of 2,830 and 1,186 on respective tests while the Snapdragon 800 scored 2,732 and 965.

Here’s the summary of the benchmark results we got from the MediaTek MT6582, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and NVidia Tegra 4;

Despite running on all 8 cores, the NVidia Tegra 4 and Qualcomm MSM8974A have proven to be a bit too much for the MT6592 to handle. In all four benchmark tests, MediaTek’s “True Octa-Core” processor was outscored by two of the most powerful System-On-Chips to date.

But we’re not stopping here folks. Join us again next time to see an Octa-Core slugfest between the MediaTek MT6592 and Samsung Exynos 5410 to prove once and for all which chipmaker has the best eight-core SoC.

Both SoCs sport faster CPU and GPU cores with the Snapdragon 800 being the most high-end of the two. To begin with, the 800 utilizes the new quad core Krait 400 CPU, an Adreno 330 GPU, Hexagon v5 DSP, and 4G LTE Cat 4 modem.

Below are some of the offerings of the Snapdragon 800:

* Up to 75% better performance than the Snapdragon S4 Pro
* Lower power consumption due to the 28nm High Performance for mobile (HPm) technology node.
* New Krait 400 CPU offers speeds of up to 2.3 GHz per core
* New Adreno 330 GPU delivers more than 2x performance over the current Adreno 320 GPU
* 3rd generation 4G LTE modem with data rates up to 150 Mbps (Category 4)
* Newest generation mobile Wi-Fi connectivity, 802.11ac
* Dual Image Signal Processors (ISPs) up to 55MP with support for up to four cameras
* Support for 4K video capture and playback at 30fps, 2K video at 60 fps
* HD multichannel audio with DTS-HD and Dolby Digital Plus for enhanced audio
* Higher display resolutions (up to 2560×2048) and Miracast 1080p HD support

As for the Snapdragon 600, it sports a new Krait 300 quad-core CPU which offers speeds of up to 1.9GHz, a speed-enhanced Adreno 320 GPU, and support for LPDDR3 (Low Power Double Data Rate 3) memory. Overall, it claims 40% better performance than the S4 Pro but at lower power consumption.

The Snapdragon 800 is expected to be in commercial devices by mid-year 2013 while the Snapdragon 600 will be available in Q2 2013.
