How in the hell the processor can go 2.00GHz>?? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I flashed Agni Kernel and there is an option to change CPU Frequency. By default it is 1.6GHz so it means samsung created it max 1.6Ghz, How in the hell it can go 2.00GHz???

Ofcourse it can because software controls it, you just specify different values i.e. voltage etc and it can work at hingher frequencies. The only real problems are battery usage (will be higher) and system (CPU) heating... thus possibly shortening CPU/component life....

TMSC created a 3.1 GHz Cortex A9 dual (the processor in note ii is a Quad version of the same chip) to test out the max speed achievable. No information what type of cooling was used for it. Can only assume that it will require heatsink & fan. For tablets & phones, 2 GHz is the max speed you will see with 28nm.

if it's 2GHz the max speed why samsung sold it as 1.6GHz? or it is because of heat?

Vendors tend to slow upgrade the clock as it gives them more room to add every small jump as a new device. You as a customer are obleged to buy any new devices as quick as possible to sustain revenues.

What "sms2000" said, plus heat, battery usage, stability.... your device might be able to work at 2Ghz but i.e. not for 3 years but only 2 years....

ok gpu overclock then?
I would overclock my HOX...in a block of ice. Or...well, in real life i dont want to overclock it because it would smoke out in my hand
Overheating is a big problem even without overclocking, imagine it running on 1,6ghz...
Sent from my Renovated HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Can't really see why you would want to overclock the One X, the phone is blazing fast anyway, 4 cores at 1.5 is enough..
But like everybody else said, the phone would probably burn up..
I wouldnt overclock my device - at least not at the stage we reached now.
Why?
a) As long as there is no way to lower the voltage this might toast your device - its a unibody, keep that in mind!
b) 100 MHZ more would have literally no effect - its a 6 GHZ device, even if you boost it up to 6,4 - you wont notice, it will just drain your battery.
6 GHZ is WAY enough...this is smartphone...I mean...seriously...its got more power than my 4 years old 1K €uro notebook...

well first of all you can't just multiply the frequency by the number of cores. I'd much prefer an actual 6Ghz single core processor over 4x1.5Ghz because it won't have any compatibility and efficiency issues. Assuming they are of the same architecture and power usage of course.
Also the ARM low power SOCs probably don't have comparable number of commands per clock cycle as an x86 high performance CPU, even if it's 4 years old.

i agree.. when the multi-core CPUs first came out intel said doubling the core number would give as 47% boost in total performance (not x2 like apple says as they do not know it) lets assume that to be %50 to make the math a little bit easier..
so basically we can make the math here as; 4 cores at 1.2Ghz (when the all 4 active the clock is 1.2Ghz) gives us 1.2 x 3/2 x 3/2= 2.7 Ghz single core performance.. this value for SGS3 is; 1.4 x 3/2 x 3/2= 3.15Ghz
and here we can say dual core at (X) Ghz gives us (X) x 3/2=2.7 thus the (X) = 1.8 Ghz.. so, if you overclock any arm9 based Dual CPU to 1.8 Ghz you get the same performance "on paper".. if you want to catch up with SGS3 we need to OC it to 2.1 Ghz which is impossible at the moment i guess..
what makes the difference here is the lower loads or multiple loads on the CPU.. corecontrol users probably would have noticed; sometimes when the all 4 core are active the clock is only 480 or 640 Mhz (even 320 sometimes if i remember correctly) .. the same amount of load could be taken care of by a dual core at about 720 or 960Mhz.. but here the quad core system stays cooler with a little less energy consumed (or wasted) (as long as all the cores are in one uni-body structure, putting 2 or 4 single cores phsically together is not the case for our smartphones) this is how apple made sure about the smoothness of the ipad 2, new ipad and the iphone 4s.. they used lower clocked 2 power vr 543 GPUs.. when the load is little they can clock down to very low speeds and share the load..
and also you can always find an emtpy core waiting for new task when the others are busy..
so, long story for short; if we were dealing with a little amount but hard processes, having a single core at 2.7Ghz would be good since the quad core design would not cut one task into 4 pieces... as long as we were not thinking about the battery life and the heat.. but since we are dealing with lots of tasks which all could be handled by 1.2Ghz power having 4 cores is better for battery saving and having an empty core for a new task to run parallel with the other running tasks in the background..
It is OC out of the box I think Nvidia OC them for us and it's already pushing itself at the very edge of what is possible for it to do based on temperature, I seem to remember Hamdir saying something along those lines once upon a time...
Why bother to OC it's fast enough as it is.
---EDIT---
hamdir said:
only faux kernel betas allow OC
big warning OC is bad for the HOX given the thermal envelope
you are risking both you battery and processor if you OC
i know you are used to OC from other devices but those had headroom, it is not the case this time, T3 is operating at its max thermal capabilities on the HOX

the chipset is rated @ 1.5ghz stable!
not the case with T3 its milking the very maximum of the 40nm process
in other words Nvidia is OCing its T3 out of box because their chips are designed to survive massive amount of heat (sadly it doesnt mean the battery or other components would survive)
it is already Overclocked lol

I suggest you flash faux's kernel.
It can oc to 1.6GHZ for most user~
and it support s2W!
I expect many users will be aware of this information, but just in case you aren't.
Anyone overclocking should be aware that this will usually lead to higher power consumption which leads to more heat produced and lower battery life.
Especially if it is necessary to overvolt to acheive higher clock frequencies with stability.
Power consumption is proportional to Voltage squared, so small increases in core coltage can result in larger increases in power consumption than mught be thought.
Needless to say this can have negative impacts on battery discharge time and overall life (due to higher temperatures).
Plus there may be some throttling back of frequency if high temperatures are reached. Also possible that frequency may be reduced to 1Ghz maximum when battery voltage is low (i.e when discharged)
Hope this is helpful (first post here)

CPU throttle starts at 85c with thermal TJ-max of 99c.
also there is many debates about this, higher speed need more power which drains battery, but that said it means work gets faster meaning it can idle faster saving power, same the other side slower speeds save power but take longer to get work done using more power.

Go to Faux123 and read the opening post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647993
it will teach you about Tegra 3 variants.
Flash Faux123 latest kernel to know what variant you have.
You can have 1.5ghz quadcore minimum, except if you have the poor variant0 of the Tegra 3, and 1.6ghz quadcore max if you have variant 3
So the overclocking you can achieve depends on your Tegra 3 variant, whatever the kernel, don't trust the figures in kernel threads titles, they just give the max if you have variant 3. And the majority of people have variant 1 so limited to 1.5ghz quadcore and there's nothing to do about it, no future kernel can change the way your CPU was manufactured.
Just, SetCPU can display 1.6ghz or more, but if you have variant 0 or 1 it will never use it (CPUspy will say 1550 and 1600 are unused frequencies)
Variant 1 can go upt to 1550mhz but not for quadcore, so who cares....! Same for kernels claiming up to 1.7ghz, it's in single/dual core, so once more, who cares?
What is important is what max speed you can achieve in quadcore, nothing else, and the limits are clearly defined by your Tegra3 variant
"all chips are not created equal" was a silly bull**** invented more than one year ago as an easy answer to noobs claiming they couldn't overclock their dual core at their max. Now, on the One-X and because of Nvidia unstable quality"all chips are not created equal" is sadly the truth.
PS: wrong=> to say that overclocking means more voltage, undervolting a custom kernel a little can surprisingly reduce heat when you push your CPU to its max,I can have both 1500mhz quadcore and less voltage than stock, as well as less heat (I was surprised, really, on the Sensation I had always found undervolting kinda useless)
PPS: true=> thermal throttle will always come pretty soon and reduce your max speed......

Your argument makes sense, but unless the governor is very efficient at controlling the CPU speed very quickly, in most cases your argument doesn’t hold true. For example when playing a game or running a CPU intensive application (where overclocking has any use) the processor works at full speed for the duration of the application.
EDIT: Frankly I don’t see any point in overclocking a phone like One X. I don’t play many games, but the few games I have played ran very smoothly. And if people are overclocking because of the (barely noticeable) laggy UI then overclocking is not a real fix anyway. Installing a custom ROM (perhaps JB), a different launcher, tweaking background apps/services are some of the more sensible and effective things to do instead.
No disrespect to the devs who are working on overclocking, but IMO HTC and nVidia must have spent a considerable amount of time and effort designing the CPU and deciding the optimal operational parameters to maximize performance while minimizing battery drain. Therefore anything out of those parameters (in theory at least) should impact either stability, or battery life. Perhaps the values HTC has decided are not the maximum possible values , because I assume they would have designed the phone to handle few exceptional conditions (i.e: extremely hot weathers). But I think over clocking would probably cause more problems in the long run than whatever the little gains you experience in short term. Just my 2c.

I tried faux 007b5, so overclock free too, I had 1.55ghz indeed, but never for quadcore, just for single or dual. Sadly I wasn't able to reach 1.5ghz quadcore but 1.4

Can you check, with tegrastats, if you reach 1.55ghz quadcore or only for 1,2 (or3??) cores?

Try the Tegrak Overclock module from the Play Store. Surely it's compatible with the Note 2. Works well with my GS3.
Supposedly it's a revision 2 chip in the N2.
Running all day long with 1.8 @ 1.275 and it's ROCK SOLID, and no extra heat for now!
Also running with nice undervolt and all freqs are stable. The device was already blazing fast, and I wasn't going to bother, but it was the easiest OC transition ever in my OC life, with first AndreiLux kernel for N2 ... :laugh:

The Note 2 has a new revision of the CPU with higher yields. It should achieve higher clocks on the same voltage, or lower voltage on the same clocks. It is for example already voltaged a bit lower across the board than the S3.

[Q] UK M9 CPU speed - is it underclocked?

According to HTC website, the SnapDragon 810 in the M9 is supposed to be clocked at 4x 2GHz cores, 4x 1.5GHz cores.
Both CPU Stats and CPU-Z report a max speed of 1.5GHz...
Are we being sold underclocked devices?
I know about the supposed "thermal issues" but to advertise a device at 2GHz but ship it at 1.5Ghz is a bit naughty.
Can anyone confirm their device is running at 2GHz?

Indeed, that's why I want to know if others have devices running at 2GHz and this is just an error in these apps. But, if they are clocking at 1.5, they shouldn't be advertising it as being 2 on their website and everywhere else.

4x2.0 and 4x1.5
So 4 at 2ghz and 4 at 1.5ghz.
In assuming the app is only measuring the max of a few cores and assuming the rest are the same.
Put the phone in performance mode and look at the speed of each core to see where they are set
I get mine tomorrow, I'm definitely going to check.

Good spot, installed Antutu and it recognises max speed of 1.9584GHz so it does look like it's not underclocked.
Running benchmark now - done, and it didn't get hot
" The new phone has a processor that’s theoretically faster, a higher-resolution camera, and other things that should make the new phone an upgrade from last year’s model. But early reviews suggest the new camera doesn’t take stellar photos, the battery life isn’t great, and in order to keep the CPU from overheating HTC recently pushed out a software update that reduces the clock speed… which means the new phone’s probably not much faster than last year’s model.

Mine is a tad slow playing Football Manager Handheld 2015 which is much quicker on the Note 4 and M8. I think this may well be due to tinkering on HTC's part as during the game the phone is quite cool, but doing other tasks it gets quite hot.

Understand that both of those other phones have 32 bit processor's, most apps are probably not optimized for 64bit. So that may be why that app is slower.
And yes you can be quite sure this phone has a thermal throttle, but don't be mistaken. So does every other phone out there.

in power saver mode the 1.5ghz cluster minimum reduces from 600mhz to 300mhz and the 2ghz cluster gets disabled, so according to this information the A57 cluster gets disabled completely in powersaver! the slow down is very evident in the camera
Nomal mode:
633mhz to 1958mhz
first 4 cores A53 cluster hover around it's maximum 1555mhz (capped)
second 4 cores A57 cluster around 700mhz idle, it goes all the way up to 1958mhz
CPU powersaver:
300mhz to 1552mhz
first 4 cores cluster A53 hover around it's maximum 1555mhz (capped)
second 4 cores A57 cluster disabled
GPU Adreno 430 speed between 190mhz and 600mhz, not affected by CPU powersaver, drivers [email protected] ([email protected])
when the device is warm (downloading non stop over wifi) battery temp around 39c, a little less load and the battery temp is around 36c

Yeh that would make sense mate, dropping min freq on the a57 would likely cause freezing, power save bumps us down to a good old 1.5GHz QuadCore, camera is Damn resource hungry so the imminent slow down would also make sense.

how does 1.5ghz quad A53 compare to a 1.1ghz quad Krait400? if we are comparing powersavers M8 vs M9
also some correction:
LeeDroid said:
All that was tweaked is the interactive governor, it was too aggressive, none of the core clock speeds have been reduced

that's not true, they also added thermal throttle to the GPU, all the way from 600mhz to 300mhz which also brings it down to M8 land (once throttled)
Ah indeed!
Hadn't considered the throttling, I don't tend to use power save a great deal however happy to do some comparisons when I have time

1.8 or 2.3

Hi just wondering what's the big difference between 1.8 and 2.3 just wondered as is it worth buying the 2.3 if I got the 1.8 thank you

Depends on what you plan to do with the device. If you are going to use it for some high end gaming (Gameloft, Ubisoft, etc.) then yes, the extra .5Ghz will help increase the frame rate.
For normal use (web browsing, flappy bird, etc) there wont be much performance difference.

The 1.8Ghz should work fine for you then. It can run the simple stuff with no problem.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA Free mobile app
The 1.8GHz version might even have better battery life because of that and because it powers half the RAM.
The cpu is quite powerful so most the time the phone runs at lowest frequency step of 500MHz anyway.
I have the 2.3GHz version but I'm actually running my phone capped at 1.8GHz anyway to see if battery life difference is significant.
I have the the ze551ml variant with 1.8 cpu and 4gb ram. I think that the device run smoothly also with heavy games.. and you have the advantage of lower consumption of battery...

Did you limit your frequency at 1.8? How so? Don't you need a custom kernel for that?

No, you don't need a custom kernel. I use Kernel Adiutor app.

Thank you!
Later edit: Oh, I was actually looking to overclock the CPU at 2.5GHz, let the min at 300Mhz and play with the gorvernor. I do need a custom kernel for this (for the frequencies).

You need a custom kernel only for overclocking. The stock kernel has limits built in. As long as you stay in these (usually stock clock is max), you don't need one. The actual clock speed limits are written in a file which you can even change manually (needs obviously root). For example:
Code:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
cpu0/cpu1/cpu2/... are the different cores.

so any significant improvement to batt life when running at max 1.8?

No, not really. The CPU is pretty beastly and usually runs at the lowest frequency step of 500MHz or the next step up (583MHz) anyways.
It rarely goes above the minimum speed except for touch events (when frequency will be temporarily boosted in anticipation of activity) and heavy usage like Web video streaming, gaming etc.
I haven't seen any performance degradation with my games and emulators at 1.8GHz vs 2.3GHz.
So overall the battery savings aren't dramatic and really not so noticeable except for heavy usage anyway like gaming. I also have the touchboost capped at 1GHz from the stock speed of 1.33GHz. Again, not huge differences but just little things that add up.
As I said, the CPU is already beastly and efficient. It's really the older screen tech used for display sourcing that has the most impact to battery life.

frend
i have asus zenonfe 2 ze551 ml = ASUS_Z00AD = Atom Z3580 2.3 Ghz, RAM 4 Gb, ROM 32 Gb
i just want overclock the GPU PowerVR G6430
default = 533 Mhz = 136.4 Gflops
OC = +25 - 31 % = 666 - 700 Mhz = 170.5 - 179 Gflops = Equal like Adreno 418 (600 Mhz) on Snapdragon 808 = 172.8 Gflops
can that posible just like Atom Z3570 = GPU clock = +20 % = 163.8 Gflops
how i can do that (please step by step) ?
thank you verry much
