SamsungGalaxy Tab S3 Gets Benchmarked, This Snapdragon 820 Machine has Mixed Scores. By. Radu Iorga. -. March 23, 2017. 9875. 1. We were expecting the Galaxy Tab S3 to rock a Snapdragon 820 CPU months before it debuted, thanks to leaks, so nobody was surprised when that happened. That's still a very capable CPU, that proved its worth on Qhd8eY. It is true that the Snapdragon 835 is about to debut and is aiming very high, already with AnTuTu marks close to However, for now it is a very precious and exclusive chip, and it seems that only Sony and Samsung reserved for the Galaxy S8 are going to have it at the moment. With the Galaxy Tab S3, the Korean firm has opted for a Snapdragon 820, and we already have the first performance tests of AnTuTu, Geekbench o GFXBench. Until a few weeks before the launch it was the great unknown about the team, the rumors began pointing to a Exynos 7420, but they soon shifted the emphasis to this Snapdragon 820 how much and such a good game he has given us throughout 2016. There remains the question of how far he has been able to squeeze Samsung the processor that, by dint of optimizations, now presents much clearer and more usable characteristics by the manufacturers. Let's see the results.

Galaxy Tab S3, far above the S7 in performance More or less, the results of the Galaxy Tab S3 are on the fork of what you would expect in AnTuTu, with a score of The noteworthy note here is that the S7, the company's flagship with a SoC comparable to the 820, stayed at a 128 mark. The Tab S2A brilliant predecessor of this new high-end range, it did not reach points when it passed through our test table about a year and a half ago. We see that the evolutiontherefore, it has been outstanding. Of course, the team has the thorn that the iPad Pro reaches 177 thousand points, which makes it continue to be at least until the Galaxy S8, which already rises to 200 thousand the most powerful device in the ranking of these tests. On Geekbench, on the contrary, the results are quite discreet, but we fear that it is a test carried out with a prototype of the tablet and with the processor capped. On GFXBench returns to show a level that is up to expectations. Better a Snapdragon 820 than an 835? LG raised some controversy by stating that the Snapdragon 821 was going to give them better results in their LG G6 than the 835 would have given them. This idea is due to the fact that they know the performance of the former better and can perform an optimal calibration, while the latter would take longer to fine-tune. The other Korean firm may be right, however, this is its own case. Samsung has helped in the development of Snapdragon 835 and it has a much deeper understanding of it than any other brand in the segment. In addition, the manufacturing process of 10 nm, it will make the chip better not only in terms of power, but also consumption. Related articleGoodbye Nexus 9.
