Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 hands-on: First look
First look
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is powered by the company's own 2012-launched Exynos 4 Quad chipset with four Cortex A9 CPUs inside it. As such, it's not at all the last word in mobile processors, but still we've given it the heavy task of going through our array of benchmarks.

The Exynos 4 Quad gets out of breath in Linpack as well and is bluntly outrun by the Snapdragon S4 Pro chipsets and the Cortex-A15s inside them.

The overall results from our benchmark extravaganza with the Galaxy Note 8.0 should come as no surprise to anyone. After all, the device is sporting last year's tech inside it, and can't measure to its more powerful rivals. Despite all of this, the chipset is by no means a slouge and can pull a lot of software weight behind it without breaking too much sweat.
