Galaxy S5 questions

Solution
2.5 per core... but its not apples to apples. CPU processors do alot more work per cycle.

say you have a 2.0ghz quad core i5 CPU in your laptop... it's still about 4x more powerful than your phone cpu

and also, if you're gaming, your CPU/GPU on your laptop are running at 100%. if you do something on your phone that makes it run at 100%, it will get hot as wel

The s5 doesn't use the same type of CPU that your PC uses so you can realy compair them. Hell a AMD CPU and intel CPU clocked the same both x86 cpu's have totally different performance.
