Primate Labs, the developer of the Geekbench Benchmarks has posted the benchmark scores of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 equipped with a Qualcomm S600 chipset. The benchmarks confirm that something we already knew. The Samsung Galaxy S 4 is fast. Clocked at 200 MHz faster than the HTC One, it is faster than its HTC rival. The new Qualcomm S600 chipset also smoke the older Qualcomm S 4 Pro found in the Nexus 4, LG Optimus G, HTC Butterfly and Sony Xperia X and XL. The Samsung Galaxy S 4 is twice as fast the Apple's iPhone 5.
But that it not really news. The Apple iPhone 5 was built around 2012 technology and is really more of a competitor to the Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC One X.
What is more interesting is how much progress is being made with each generation of smartphone chipsets in terms of power (higher is better).
