Snapdragon S4's Heat Management Visualized w Butter



Though there's a lot of talk about the Quadcore Exynos Processor from Sammy which uses a 32nanometre architecture, smaller than the more common 40nanometer architecture of some existing SOCs, lets not forget that Snapdragon in fact currently has one of the most efficient SOCs to date.

At 28nm, the chip drains less battery, produces faster processing, and with a better architecture comes better heat management. At 28nm, the S4 dualcore processor, though lower in some aspects to the Galaxy S3's Quadcore Exynos, it's not that far off in terms of performance.

Seen in the video, I think the two competitor products are a Galaxy S2 and a Motorola Razr.

The butter video is more for amusement but it's cool to see how Qualcomm has advanced in terms of SOC technology.

I think it is a waste that you didn't pursue a degree in Comp Engin! The Comp Architecture modules would have been perfect for you!

Haha, don't say already, sometimes I wonder why I never tried my hand at other modules.
