Recently, the news about Samsung Galaxy S4 has gradually increased. It is even rumored that the Korean version of Galaxy S4 uses Qualcomm MSM8960 chip, and the GPU scores surpass all mobile phones today. However, from the background data of Anthare, it seems that the Galaxy S4 does not use Qualcomm chips, but a mysterious quad core chip with SGX544 (the number of cores is unknown).
We found some information about the Korean Galaxy S4 from the background data of Anthare ▼

From the hardware information alone, we can see that the Galaxy S4 has many highlights. The quad core 1.8G chip gives us a lot of "imagination space", and it supports the VFPv4 standard, which is also a feature of Cortex-A15. In terms of GPU, the chip matched with the SGX544MP is also a big change compared with the Galaxy S3. It is expected that the 1080P screen will be displayed.

From the score of the I9500, this is really like the performance of the quad core A15. The GPU's strength is unmatched by all previous Android devices. The 3D graphics score is up to 8248 points, which makes us full of expectations for the performance of the Galaxy S4.
On GLBenchmark's website, we got the information that the E300S, the Korean version of the Galaxy S4, uses Qualcomm chips and is equipped with Adreno 320. The GPU has exceeded Nexus 10, ranking second only to the iPad 4, and ranked second in the total ▼
Judging from the matching GPU, the E300S uses Adreno320, but judging from the running points, this is definitely not the same GPU as the Adreno320 in APQ8064 we have seen before. It may be that the frequency is much higher, or even it is simply a model recognition error ▼
The E300S uses 1080P resolution, and the CPU can reach up to 1.9G ▼
However, there are some misleading elements in the system information. The "build. Board" part turns out to be MSM8960. In fact, this is a small bug. Many APQ8064 chips in Qualcomm chips open the system's build.prop files and many will display MSM8960 (such as Find5 and Butterfly). At the same time, judging from the GPU performance and matching GPU performance, this mobile phone can never be matched with the MSM8960. It is likely to be a newer chip ▼ than APQ8064
As for the E300S of these two versions, it seems that the first one is what we hope to see. The luxury configuration of the quad core A15+PowerVR SGX544 is the highest in terms of CPU performance and GPU performance. Of course, we are still waiting for the Galaxy S4 launch conference to solve the mystery.
