Samsung Galaxy S3 Quad-core CPU Exynos 4412 Benchmarking Tests

Samsung will launch the Galaxy S3 this Thursday with its own new quad-core processor in it, which all hints point to be the first mobile chip with four cores made with the 32nm process, the Samsung Exynos 4412.

Samsung showed us the power consumption measurements of the Exynos 4210 in the Galaxy S II made with the 45nm process, compared to the next-gen 4212 made with 32nm. Both 4-series Exynos chipsets are based on the same ARM Cortex-A9 architecture, so there is no generation bias, as it would have been if compared to the Cortex-A15 Exynos 5-series next to it.

The charts on the right show about 40% less power consumption on average, despite the 32nm Exynos CPU being clocked higher. This is more than the 20% power draw reduction Samsung claims in the official description of Exynos 4412, but let's not forget the ARM-Mali 400 GPU inside is probably being clocked much higher for the Samsung Galaxy S3, judging from its record preliminary benchmarks.
