Just ran the Geekbench 3 (version 3.4.1 on PC and Android) test on my S7 Active and an old school PC.
S7 Active is the Snapdragon model.
"Old School PC" is a C2Q Q6600 @ 3.2ghz and DDR2 800mhz RAM (@ 800mhz)... aka 400mhz FSB (266mhz stock) and 8x multi instead of 9x multi, on an Asus P5B (p965 chipset)
Benchmark results are as follows:
Stock S7 Snapdragon = Single Core: 2340 Multi Core: 5188
OG Gaming Rig = Single Core: 1718 Multi Core: 5961
So, if the S7 line up with the Snapdragon 820 didn't have 2 low power cores in it, I'm feeling confident it would also have won in the multi core performance. Neither one could win every single benchmark, but nonetheless, I had no idea the Snapdragon 820 was so downright powerful. I hope the benchmarks between platforms are equal and these results can actually be used to compare things like this (a phone and a PC). If so, AMD and Intel, both, have been doing it wrong lol. Qualcomm for gaming CPU's? Probably not anytime soon, but I'd like to see a 3rd competitor enter the market and start out in first place. I mean, if they can get this kind of performance from a passively cooled, battery powered phone... what could they get out of a full size, limitless power supplied "computer" build?
But, feel free to check these results for yourself. I actually bet I can set my phone over an A/C vent, let it get really cool, then run the benchmark and score higher. But, maybe it was cool enough to let me have optimal performance, I'm not sure. I've done typed this much and don't want to have to redo everything, lol. If anyone reads this, I'm willing to try it another way.
But, in the meantime, here are where to find my results (just put the numbers at the end of the results URL):
S7 Active: 7505532
PC Q6600 @ 3.2ghz: 7505380

Spike1, 04 Feb 2016They better do a better job at the end or we might need to ... moreYou forget that they are focusing on "multi-core performance" to get an advertising advantage; the Snapddragon 820 is SIGNIFICANTLY faster in lightly-threaded (up to 4 cores; aka. nearly ALL common usages) applications.
You also need to remember that smartphone user experience (such as web browsing, video watching and most gaming) is limited by single-threaded performance. There is simply no way to really make use of an "octa-core" processor, except perhaps by running 8 applications simultaniously (not in the background; all 8 would need to be active and drawing on screen content). Its similar to the "Megahertz myth" whereby Intel capitalized on the public's lack of education to sell slower performing processors as "upgrades".
A simple way to demonstrate this is to take a Snapdragon powered, previous "flagship" (for example, say, the Snapdragon version of the Galaxy Note 4) and compare the user experience between running all 4 cores at maximum frequency, running 2 cores at maximum frequency and disabling the other 2 cores, and running all 4 cores at half of their maximum frequency. When going from 4 to "only" 2 cores, there is a minimal amount of stuttering and almost no lag whatsoever. Running 4 cores at half the frequency, however, results in a laggy, stuttery, almost unusable mess. If more cores really made that much of a difference, there wouldn't have been any difference at all between the last 2 cases.
Maybe people think that more cores improves performance in the situation where you open one app, minimize it and open another app, and so forth. However, android is already optimized for exactly this scenario, which means that "running" many background apps would STILL be faster on the "quad-core" Snapdragon 820 than on the "octa-core" Exynos.
While I can understand that people would welcome the improved multi-tasking performance, I simply cannot fathom why you would willingly sacrifice 90% of your user experience for the

They better do a better job at the end or we might need to look for something else. Living in USA and getting *20 which is lower then last year Exunos? Bad

owhhhh lameee owhh lamee
trust me, ters hundreds friends of mine..decided to change their phone - simply bcoz they cannot stand on how each of EVERY generation of Sammy phone looks freakin identical to one another!!!
from a glance , reallyy i dare u ..can u really tell any difference from one sammy model to another?? slike seriously - why wud u spend additional hundreds of dollars jst so ur S6 can looks just like J7!??
and ter are hundreds of other manufacturer deserve more credit on how much od hourss of hourss of dedication they spend on making sure EVERY each one of their new model comes with PERSONALITY!!!
stop realeasing new phone Sammy if its just gonna look like another J Series, another A Series, jst stopp - dun add another serious shit of series in mobile history lines!

Guys, just wait until the phone gets released. Until then, you cant prove which phone is faster than the other. What does some benchmarks have to do with the actual performance? This is coming from a non-fan of both samsung and huawei.

What does a multi-core score, on all core of a big.LITTLE SoC matter? The SoC will never use all the cores at once, as it switches from big to LITTLE, or vice-versa, in order to save power or gain performance, respectively. A single core performance is what really matters to me. And I planing to buy the LG G5, if it comes out as good as it looks and with a Snapdragon 820 SoC.

Where the multi core is much better in Exynos. That shows nothing for either finalized chip or anything else about either.
How arrogant to much such a fan driven assumptiom.
And sorry. Not only is the Exynos 7420 way better than the S810, but the Exynos 5433 took a good overall lead compared to the S805.
And before that there was really only about a two year span where Snapdragon had more of a lead. And it was not major. It was more in gpu.
Before that Samsungs Exynos chips like in the Note 2 and S2 were more ahead. And in the S1 their Exynos was called the Hummingbird and was considered the beastly chip.

This is straight knowledge of someone that knows exactly what he is talking about.

Sure, neither of them is finalized, but these benchmarks show us what we should expect.
It's unfortunate and shame that you are trying to argue about something that you are incompetent in.

Anonymous, 29 Jan 2016Then why has Exynos 8 been overall doing better in both? The Exynos is better than only the current generation Snapdragon.
However, S820 is going to wipe the floor with Exynos.

Quad-cores are best for smartphones for performance and battery life(until software steps up).

Remember Performance/Watt else I will bring in a liquid-cooled i7, I hope 820 outperforms in that consideration.
