sd 801 vs 805?

Hello everyone, I just upgraded my droid razr maxx for an HTC one m8 which I knew beforehand was already on its way out. I had my heart set on the droid turbo but none were in stock when I went to upgrade so I went with the m8 and love it. However, this is my question: I understand that the turbo has the sd 805 which is slightly faster than the sd 801 in the m8 but with the high resolution display is it really any faster than the m8? I'm just trying to figure out if the turbo is worth it at this point.
Thanks for reading

The S810 is the next leap forward. No big difference between the 801 or 805.

The 805 is faster, but you may not be able to notice the difference.

In a side note, did you check Best Buy for the Turbo? It's only $1.00 on upgrade, and they seem to have plenty of stock.

GPU is a little better for the 805 compared to the 801, but that only matters if you are big into gaming. Both devices fly, and you most likely won't notice a difference between the two. There is little to no noticeable difference in day to day use between the moto x and the turbo and the x uses the 801 and the turbo has the 805, so no worries. Not to mention as long as you don't have the two side by side you won't know the difference anyway. The m8 is very smooth, so I think you will be very happy with the m8.

The 805 handles 1440p displays much better than the 801. The difference would be negligible on a 1080p device
