AnTuTu’s latest benchmark returns a number of scores—too many to graph so we’re including a look at all the numbers in a table. This test measures subsystem performance in various areas like Database IO, Storage IO, CPU (Int. and Float), GPU (3D), and RAM (speed).

AnTuTu, Mobile XPRT, GeekBench Benchmarks

General System, CPU and User Experiential Performance

The Galaxy Note 4 took second place overall here, just behind the iPhone 6 Plus. Notice, however, that the two devices trade victories depending on the particular test being run.

The MobileXPRT benchmark had the Note 4 winning overall as well, with a score of 229. In a couple of the UX tests, however, the Note 4 faltered a bit, most likely due to the relatively high resolution of its screen bringing framerates down a bit.

In terms of its multi-core performance, the Note 4 once again takes the top spot according to GeekBench. The iPhone 6 Plus, however, takes the lead in the single-core test.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
