I see it similar, I have the ipad2 and an upgrade to 64 bit would be interesting.

That result looks very Snapdragon 800
I wonder how the cortex A15 Note3 variant performs considering that Samsung announced an update that all the Eight cores of the Big.Little configuration can be enabled all together.

This Looks like the qualcomm note3. Its slower than the note2 for chess.

[Ponti]

Yeap, my Note 3 is 2.3 Ghz Quad-Core (9005).
I think version N9000 is not yet available in Brazil.

Very fast and bright, beautiful screen.
Well, it plays chess much better than me...

The great feature of Note 3 is the S-pen, very helpful.
Photos are awesome.

Battery life =~ 1 1/2 day, I'm not a power user.
The only game I play on the phone is chess - and not everyday.
Chessbase and Playchess look marvelous with Note's big screen.

[Ponti]

Well, it is a quad 2.3 - it plays chess much better than me.

To win a game against Genius Android I had to configure Genius to instant move and no permanent brain:

Specs are faster than Galaxy Note 2...

[mclane]

?

The note2 is better because of the Bigger cache. Note3 might be better in antutu and quadrant, but note2 is better in chess.

[Solrac1970]

The Note 3 absolutely pulverizes the Note 2 in every benchmark with the exception of chess apps:

What's so interesting is that the iPhone 5S beats the Note 3 in several benchmarks. Also, keep in mind the Samsung is known to cheat on benchmarks which makes Apple's numbers even more interesting.
