anyone with the X willing to run quadrant on it?

[xoomer1]

I agree... I got 12612 on my S4, was hoping with the hype the X would do better

I guess that's okay, but

THAT'S WAY TOO MID-RANGE.

here is my S4, snappiest phone I ever had, ad a hard time switching from moto razr to Samsung...but the X's specs just was not there and I was tired of my phone lagging..tried the S4 and best phone so far...I am not much into talking to my phone...I just need my phone to do what I need it to do when I am away from my computer...and that means its gotta have some guts,...not just a lot of talk.

Lol @ this thread
I didn't know that anyone even cared what quadrant said anymore. Compare it to the gigahertz wars back in the day. People were OBSESSED with overclocking the balls out of their computers, until we finally accepted that optimization+better functioning cores was more beneficial. This phone has a quad core GPU, that means that it can handle ANY game on the entire Android market, I bet my left nut. Android is a lightweight operating system, that's why it has two dedicated cores, that's all it needs, and to break it down:

CPU
0: android os (floating point, random seed, threading)
1: current apps (floating point, basic flops)

GPU:
2: touchrender (touch calculations)
3: vector (drawing, sizing, and coloring infinite resolution)
4: vsync (vertical/horizontal refresh calibration)
5: raster (drawing, and coloring defined resolution)

Beowulf parallel:
6: voice commands ("OK, Google now...", tts)
7: active notifications (Duh)

Now, each core is dedicated to those, unlike the other multi core devices that just have a bunch that do whatever, so each core has it's own job, and everything is smooth, because it's orderly, and defined.

Also, just a side note, a CPU can only do one job at a given time, but swaps between jobs several times a second, so they don't become unresponsive, so a multi core device will almost always have one core focusing on the operating system.

*snip*

Now, name me ten apps that will scale to all those CPU cores that aren't benchmarking apps. That was easy mode (lots of games, right?) so now here's HARD MODE: name ten apps that aren't games that will take advantage of four cores. Good luck, have fun.

I wish there was something else I could tell you to convince you otherwise, but it doesn't even seem like you want to read your own thread. It's a shame too; you're missing out on a great phone because you're enthralled with benchmarks instead of practical performance.

That's okay. The S4 is a fine device and I'm sure the next phone that comes out and bests it in Quadrant will be plenty worthy of an upgrade.

7: active notifications (Duh) -- The contextual computing processor handles the sensors, display and touch interaction, but it also appears to function as the primary processor when the phone is in standby mode, including showing status and notification information on the display.

Adding to these points(Highlighted in red above). this is how S4 will probably use the cores

CPU
0: android os (floating point, random seed, threading)
1: current apps (floating point, basic flops)
2: 99% of app DONT USE IT, Android OS DONT USE IT either.
3: 99% of app DONT USE IT, Android OS DONT USE IT either.

GPU probably same but X has the two extra parallel cores

its funny, all benchmark apps use those 2 additional cores(Core 2 & 3)

 

[xoomer1]

well something sure is using those extra cores..at least according to cpu-z..

I waited for the x to get released....was all excited about moto releasing a new phone that would finally be a monster, a powerhouse....then the specs on it came out...I got my S4 just a couple of weeks ago..still not a big fan of Samsung phones...but tired of moto making phones only to come out with a better one a few months later..make one good phone..thats all they had to do...I don't use the voice stuff on any phone.what I want is a phone that will have the power to do what I need to do, not get all laggy..so far the S4 has done that.

Just go put one in your hand. This phone does something that not too many other phones do. In not taking touchless controls our active notifications either. In talking functionality. This phone works and well at that. Hour many wood have you seen that say known issues does not work well with stock android? I know a few that day known issues with scene and touchwiz. this phone functions the way Google intended the software to function. Do you really think that Google would have let Motorola (a Google company) pot a duel core processor in their phone with out completely thinking it threw? No. They know what they are doing and they are trying to make a statement. Your s4 might need all that power touchwiz is a very heavy skin

Tell me just one app that the s4 can handle that the x lags through

X is faster smoother snappier compared to s4 in all aspects ..gaming ..browsing ..messaging ..its a joy to use ..
