Good! I want to know what the maximum performance is from a benchmarking app.
I don't know why regulars apps are unable to get the Note 3 to use all 4 cores. Perhaps they're not multi-threaded or they haven't enabled the right settings? Surely 3D games will access all cores?
At the end of the day, Samsung wants the benchmarking to show the theoretical maximum. Other manufacturers may not be too bothered and are happy to show benchmarking of normal usage. It's like reading the specs on a car, you're never going to drive at 160 mph, but at least you know you could.
