    I wouldn't at all be surprised at their evil doings!

    thing is, I can beat all of their advertised scores in any benchmark anyway :)

    EDIT: just read that article, all they're saying is that the gpu runs at 533mhz in some benchmarks and then in some apps/games it'll downclock to 480mhz. That's pretty standard behavior.

    Well once again we have some random tech site putting a spin on the actual content. Anandtech's original article sounds no where near as malicious as every other tech site linking to them. The click bait **** is getting ridiculous.

    Anandtech Title: "Looking at CPU/GPU Benchmark Optimizations in the Galaxy S4"

    Redmondgarbage Title: "Samsung Caught Artificially Boosting Galaxy S4 Benchmark Results"

    Also most sites are completely leaving out the fact that the S4 runs at max clock speed with most benchmarks not specifically listed anyway.

    My S4 belongs in the garbage bin after seeing the NVIDIA Ira demo on a 2W Kepler.

    well you have time, this Tegra5 will be released in 1year, it is not even in production and yet they use prediction at 1ghz+ on a 192SP Kepler with a cooler as large of GK110 cores .. Forget to see it run at this speed on a smartphone, maybe at 400-500mhz, and coupled with LPDDR3 shared, i fear the gpu performance will not be as good as they want to show it.

    Dynamic clocks that don't allow the maximum in gaming but allow it in benchmarks?

    no point in getting an 8-Core CPU or Quad one for a mobile device esp. for texting, emails, few apps left and right.. literally no point especially that if you wanna game the phone will easily overheat. The difference btw a 4 cores and 8 cores CPU on a mobile device is probably minimal to non-existant in real life scenarios.

    I played few games like angry bird on my mobile and my device gets above 40C quickly and is a lil too warm to the touch.

    benchmakrs are really bad on mobile.. no warm up, they are too short and never use fully the processor and gpu as they should. so basically you will not overload anything with them.

    It can't use all 8 at the same time though. It's basically 4 cores with 2 different power levels. It's sorta similar to the tegra 3, except there is a lower power core for each high power core.

    Yeah, thanks for sharing this. I really hate such reposts - take good article, add sensation, subtract reason.
