cpu in Note SM-N9005??

[paparazzo79]

I just bought my Note 3, but I'm curious about something.I see there is bunch of versions with different cpu inside.
How can I check what cpu is inside my Note 3 (snapdragon or cortex)??android 4.4. installed on it.

I have those. You're fine. N9005's are European and International models if you are outside the US.
They have the Snapdragon (wotsit - 800?) quad core @ 2.3, 4k video, 4G/LTE capability. An app like AnTuTu will read your phone. There are probably better apps for that.
The N9000 is a far eastern model imported here out of region, these are 3g only, no 4k video and an 8/octa core Exynos processor.
US versions generally have a N900 designation with a letter, similar spec to yours, but I stand to be corrected on this.

There is a way of checking which market your phone was designed for if bought online, through checking it's CSC number.

Where is CSC number located and where should I input it.
Yep I'm in eastern Europe,I think this one is made in France,all the text on box was in French and GUI too.
I'm happy if it's really snapdragon,I will check with antutu later.Thank you.

I'm in London. I found this earlier and posted on a thread here a few weeks ago. "Note 3: How to find Region Code?.

You will find your CSC number on the 3rd line when you enter *#1234#.

It's a little complicated to search with the CSC code on the Sammobile. com website. You will need to sign in and use a 2nd search box in the firmware section I think. I can do it for you in about 8 hours. Regards.

ADDED: The CSC is really only useful to find when or if KitKat is out for your model. If you have a French or other that was initially locked for the correct region (EU) you should be fine.

Edit: nm thr sm-9005 is the snapdragon 800 CPU after researching it again . For some reason I thought it was the exynos CPU

The sm-n9005 has the octa core CPU that samsung makes with the 2 quad core chips ( I want ) . I wish they sold that variant in the states since I don't see any logical reason not since the note 2 had the exynos CPU in there so samsung does have the radios required with the exynos to run in the US LTE bands. I just want the wolfson Dac on the exynos compared to the crappy one on the Qualcomm soc. I hoped samsung took a page out of lg book and added the wolfson Dac with the snapdragon 800 CPU like lg did

Thats not correct. Only the SM-N9000 which you probably meant. The trade off there is 3g and no 4k. I think the consensus is the quad core @ 2.3 is better though less cores, but I am in water I can't wade in here. I think octa + cores will be more useful and efficient in the future. You're probably right about DAC's.
All US versions have the same basic hardware as our N-9005 then, just extra carrier and radio add ons.
Dpham00 is the man for this.

Apparently later Qualcomm's from 800 don't have an fm radio capability, I read very recently. You're probably right about DAC's. Dpham00?

Yea I edited that out once I googled it ....I was thinking that was that model and got em mixed up

antutu:
cpu model: qualcomm snapdragon MSM8974 so it is snapdragon.I'm so lucky.
Result after benchmark: 26718

kinda strange with results: it's far beyond samsung galaxy note 3 (1st place) and sony xperia z ultra (2nd)
wtf?They all have same cpu don't they?

 

[dpham00]

I believe the octa core versions are big. LITTLE configuration. Quad a7 + quad a15. Keep in mind that on the note 3, even though it has two quad cores, they cannot operate simultaneously. For light load, it uses the a7,heavy load it switches to a15.



As stated above, these do not have 4GLTE.

I got that once recently but I think it needs a good signal or all to be on. I can get above or below 36000 generally, and it tells me I have the BEST phone ever.
Many will tell you these tests are configured to impress by the manufacturer so can't be trusted, and this is probably true. Just a bit of fun. "Mine is better than yours" right now, but you should get higher.

But why such a low score?and note 3 on first place even if this is note 3 phone...kinda weird

I knew that basically. So with current loads do you think the faster quad cores are better on the Note 3. And going forward faster octa-cores will be better at multi tasking and efficiency, as I was saying earlier.

It's just a smoke screen, most don't take it seriously from what I have read. You will get a score around 35000 most times. I got your score once but I think I found some settings off or no signal. Only tested about 6 times. Fun.

This was my very first Note 3 score. I got so excited that I had a unique phone I was on hold to Samsung in S. Korea for 90 minutes to ask if they wanted to buy it back. Meanwhile I was conposing an eBay listing for ?1,000,000.00.
I calmed down.

Speed alone doesn't mean faster, but honestly I am not sure. Haven't tried out the octa core version so can't really comment.

Also future octa cores will be better as they will be able to use both quad cores simultaneously, but the note 3 can't do this.

OK my CSC is:
CSC: N9005OXXENA5

That CSC came up as from these areas (Hungary, Poland, Baltic -)
The PDA is the same as the AP number in that code.
It shows that KitKat is already out for that CSC, most are now, and you say you have it anyway.
Why it has French I don't know, maybe it was destined to be imported to a supplier there, but it doesn't matter, all countries will be the same in that region locked area. in case you don't have an EU region lock sticker on the box, remember you can only use it in a different world area when travelling only after you have used a local EU sim for a few days for some calls texts and data (apparently). Regards.
