All I can find about its GPU is that it is quad core and has 5 times the power of SGX540 from Galaxy S1. Is there anything else ever mentioned about this phone's GPU?
Wow that's very interesting. I don't know how the GS2 scored so bad in some of those tests. In terms of sheer power, Exynos/Mali definitely beats Tegra 2. Maybe the software was unfinished?
That is such a good news!! If you have some information read on this, please share! I am sure if they tweak their hardware drivers, they maybe able to get better performance out of them. But will Samsung have enough time to do it if they are planning on releasing the phone this month?
Also, why Samsung is referring to GSII processor as Samsung dual-core application processor instead of calling it Exynos?
It looks like there will be two versions of Galaxy S II, one with Exynos and one with Tegra 2.
from anandtech:
"The GT-I9100 is the normal Exynos based Galaxy S II, the I9103 is the Tegra 2 edition."
hmmm.. Interesting. Wouldn't that make things harder for samsung on the software update release front!!

That is such an atrociously horrible test it's amazing. Nothing against Anand, the test is exactly what they said it was, but people are using it as a performance comparison. Do you really thing the Mali drivers etc are anywhere near done?
