The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has quickly made itself popular among the ARM Mali graphics team. And it’s not its 515PPI Quad HD Super AMOLED display,
vivid colors and intuitive UI that has earned it a place in our hearts – it is, as you would expect from ARM engineers, its stunning processor that has caught our eyes.
The Samsung Exynos 7 Octa is the latest mobile application processor to come out of the Samsung LSI team and it boasts considerable improvements over the previous generation – including up to 74% enhanced graphics performance with the ARM Mali-T760 MP6 GPU. With this boost the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 can deliver superior, more life-like 3D gaming experiences on super HD screens, as well as a smoother, more responsive user interface and performance intensive, up-and-coming applications such as instant image stabilization, video editing or facial recognition. The Mali-T760 incorporates many of ARM’s popular energy efficient technologies, such as ARM Frame Buffer Compression, Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression, Smart Composition and Transaction Elimination – these together with the micro-architectural improvements to the Mali-T760, in particular to the L2 cache interconnect, result in an Exynos SoC that delivers a fantastic graphics experience without overexerting its intrinsic thermal and
power budget.
When combined with a 1.9GHz ARM Cortex-A57 MP4, a 1.3GHz Cortex-A53 MP4 processor in big.LITTLE™ configuration with Samsung's HMP (Heterogeneous Multi-Processing) solution, every process can intelligently use the high processing power in such a way that no matter what the multitasking needs are, or what application is being run, there will be no lags and ultimately no unnerving power consumption. In all, the HMP technology, when used with the Cortex-A57 cores and Cortex-A53 cores, provides a 57% CPU performance increase from the previous generation Exynos 5 Octa.
The sum of all this is a device that has not only impressed across a range of benchmarks but also delighted critics and the public at large. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is an extremely desirable device that delivers the very latest advances in mobile technology – and it can be yours!
