As usual Anandtech has one of the best reviews. My only complaint is the CPU benchmarks are more or less useless. I understand there aren't any good cross platform benchmarks right now but using JS benchmarks is completely inaccurate. Not only are there major variations between scores on the same device (across different browsers and versions) but the same browser isn't even available on both platforms.

I'd love to see how the A7 really stacks up against the Snapdragon/Tegra but it doesn't seem like we'll be seeing that any time soon.

No one does reviews like Anand—even other reviewers at Anandtech. When I see him as the author, I know I'm in for a treat. I mean, down to the metal, and a full understanding and clear explanation of what it means! Just top quality, every single time, even going back ten or fifteen years to the Pentium and Athlon era. I learned so much from his clear and passionate explanations of CPU structure and design decisions.

I still love that the author name link goes straight to his e-mail address. I think I'll thank him directly.


Brian Klug is really good too. Check out the HTC One Review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6747/


Especially not with companies like Samsung deliberately rigging benchmark tests.


Agreed with the review.

Also agree that any benchmarks are useless. We need to code for the lowest common platform, in order to get the best sales.
