So there were rumors that we'd not get the Hummingbird CPU here in the U.S. with our "Galaxy S phones" and after running the app Quadrant Standard, I'm a little confused. Here's the results that confuse me and it could be a simple lack of my knowledge so if anyone has the answer then please feel free to clue me in without flaming.
Result browser:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S
Other names: I900
CPU Name: ARM Cortex A8 (Hummingbird)
Max freq: 1000MHz
Now for me; I have a Vibrant...
Device: SGH-T959
CPU Name: ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v71)
Current freq: 400MHz
Max freq: 1000MHz
So does this mean we are NOT running the Hummingbird CPU or is the application wrong?

I believe that the arm v7 is a part of the cortex a8 family of processors, or vice versa.

Hmm, I wonder why the app differentiates the two CPU's like that. I'm not able to come up with much info from searching for that exact CPU name other than info on the Motorola Droid X. Go figure...
I ran the benchmark and I was interested.
I hit up ARM's website and the ARMv7 falls under the Cortex A8 platform.
Now is there a difference in CPU's between the I9000 and the Vibrant I honestly cannot say. Very Very interesting though.
I wonder if anyone with a captivate can tell us what there's says I am interested in this.
Do you guys think that Samsung could have cheapened out and gave us a crappier CPU?
EDIT: I did some digging and found out that Apples A4 processor which is pretty much a hummingbird is under the ARMv7 instruction set which is a Cortex A8 processor.
I was able to pull up the same info in regard to the iPhone 4. I found that quite interesting. However, I'm still curious about a Captivate's results. The GPU is exactly the same on the app's results but it's just the CPU thing that bugs me. Is it normal for the phone to be running at 400 MHz? I keep turning up with that same result.

The processor will throttle itself based on demand, so yes it is totally normal to see a number less than 1000MHz

My Vibrant shows Current frequency as 1000MHz.
Let's put it this way - T-Mobile and practically all marketing for the phones states it is in fact the 1ghz hummingbird CPU. If it isn't, then it is clearly false advertising.

So do we have any definitive answers on whether it's the same CPU that EU has? I've turned up with inconclusive results.

The Cortex A8 is from the ARMv7 family of processors.
Think of it like Intel i7 family of processors, and individual processors being i7 965 or i7 920 or i3, or i5 or i9, etc. or better yet like intel processors being x86, then with all the different things they add on like mmx and hyperthreading and the like being additional instruction sets. so over time x86 gets tweaked for better performance, and the other instruction sets allow for specific tasks to be run faster. hence the difference between the different arm families. that and price tag.
any mobile processor will also dynamically clock itself based on requirements at the time. I don't know the exact frequencies because I haven't cared enough to find out, but the processor downclocks itself to something like 250mhz with the screen turned off, then up to 400mhz ish with the screen on, and then up to 800-1000mhz when running any applications or games or what have you. It does this to save battery life and not run too ungodly hot.
Laptops do the exact same thing, and desktop computers as well if you enable those settings to save on power consumption.
also the cortex a8 is just the cpu itself as far as i'm aware, that does not include the dsp nor the gpu.
ALL SGS phones run the same exact processor, Samsung's custom Hummingbird processor, with the cpu being 45nm based on the Cortex a8 (ARMv7 series) with some customizations, along with the SGX 540, i don't know what their dsp is off the top of my head though.
This is interesting!
I have an incredible. I've noticed the exact same description for my processor using two different apps. If anyone has an answer I'd love to here it!

Snapdragon is also an ARM v7 CPU. basically ARM v7 is the CPU core, Snapdragon, OMAP, Hummingbird are all SoC(Systems on a Chip), where the CPU portion is ARM based.
Hey guys on gsmarena are mega 6.3 is based on dual core krait 400 which is good than galaxy s4 krait 300 if the battle for single core or dual core only. Do you think if there is a kernel development here we can overclock it to 2.3ghz just like anandtech says.

I think it is snapdragon 400 with krait 200, not krait 400 because krait 400 is belong to snapdragon 800....
I think the most correct is Snapdragon 400 using Krait 300 similar in specs (and performance) with Galaxy S4 mini. You can find the exact chip model in the internet. Krait 200 for Mega is a typo error as according to Qualcomm website Snapdragon 400 with Krait 200 runs only at 1.2 ghz max whereas Krait 300 runs at 1.7 Ghz (Mega 6.3 and S4 mini). Krait 200 is slower vs Krait 300 even when run on same freq and is used by entry level phones (not Mega 6.3). You will also find Snapdragon 400 in quad-cortex A7 flavor for entry level phones (slower than Krait 200).
Hi all, i join the android tablet world with the hisense sero 7 lt. i got 2 programs that tell the specs of my tablet.
I am wondering which one is more accure, here are the following specs shown by both apps on my sero 7 lt
CPU identifier:
CPU type - Rockchip RK3066 x2 1.608 GHz
GPU type - Mali 400 MP (quad core GPU)
AnTuTu Benchmark:
CPU type - Samsung Exynos 4412
GPU type - Mali 400 MP (quad core GPU)
im just wondering which app is accurate on the basic cpu/gpu specs
anyone? QSO?
antutu was updated and it now reads the cpu as the dual core armv7 processor (vfpv3, neon)
according to antutu, the kernel is displayed as linux version 3.0.8+ ([email protected])
antutu says its compiled with GCC 4.4.3
Elixer 2 is showing mine as quad core
Sent from my M470BSA using xda app-developers app
MT6577 (dual core) uses PowerVR SGX531 and MT6582M (quad core) uses Mali 400 MP2. Which one is better because said PowerVR GPU have 522 Mhz clock speed and Mali 400 MP2 have 416 Mhz clock speed. So in this case which one is more better at gaming performance and 3D graphics?
Better 3d gaming
It is natural that mali 400 MP2 with quad core will give you better performance but instead of going with MT6582M go for MT6582 which has same gpu with 500Mhz clock speed
Hello,
Fifa 16 UT:
Minimum requirements: 1.5 GB RAM, A9 Cortex 1.6 GHz Quad-core CPU or 1.7 GHz Dual-core Krait CPU, Adreno 305 GPU (or equivalent)
Lenovo A850+ with octa core Cpu @ 1.4ghz and only 1gb ram and Mali-450MP4 gpu?
or
HTC Desire 526 with Quad core cpu 1.1ghz and 1.5gb ram and adreno 304 gpu?
I dont really know how the Adreno 304 and Mali 450 compare , but the adreno is just 1 step below min requiment. And would the superior CPU make up for the lack of ram?
Thanks.
