Samsung Galaxy Alpha benchmarked

Samsung is expanding its flagship lineup with the newly official Samsung Galaxy Alpha and the rumored Galaxy S5 LTE-A version. Both are powered by the Exynos 5 Octa 5430 chipset, the one rumored to be at the heart of the Galaxy Note 4 too. The S5 LTE-A we're talking of shouldn't be confused with the Snapdragon 805-powered Galaxy S5 LTE-A, which has a QHD screen (matching the LG G3). This yet-unannounced Galaxy S5 LTE-A G901F (octa-core) has a 5.1" 1080p screen instead (confusing, huh?). The Galaxy Alpha has a 4.7" 720p screen, so its chipset (or just the GPU) may have been down-clocked since it doesn't need the performance but needs to tread lightly on the 1,860mAh battery. We ran AnTuTu on the Galaxy Alpha and used a leaked score for the Galaxy S5 LTE-A (both S805 and Exynos versions) to get a feel for the new chipset. .jrGraphContainer { background: none !important; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee !important;} ul.jrGraph { left: 86px !important; } ul.jrGraphControls { padding: 0; margin-left: -10px !important; } JRGRAPH_EXPANDABLE_VERSION = false; AnTuTu 4 Higher is better is better Galaxy S5 LTE-A (rumored) 39712 Oppo Find 7 38484 Samsung Galaxy Alpha 38119 HTC One (M8) 37009 Galaxy S5 (Snapdragon 801) 36018 Galaxy S5 LTE-A (S805) 35411 Sony Xperia Z2 33182 LG G3 (3GB/32GB) 30482 The Exynos 5 Octa 5430 chipset has four Cortex-A15 and four Cortex-A7 cores, all eight of which can work simultaneously.
