some 1ms touch screen), we will be seeing input lag for a while, and it's not only Android that has this. Basically every touch device has noticeable amounts of input lag.
Anyways, I'm not looking forward to this phone that much as I thought I would be. The Exynos 5 just has me confused. Why couldn't they just stick with 4 cores and optimize those instead of throwing in another 4 to cover up the power consumption? It just seems a cheap approach to grab the ego of the general consumer. But hey, if it proves itself in the benches, then who cares? I'm interested in seeing how Exynos 5 compares to the S4. Not to mention, the GPU on it should be able to perform nicely.

Because, basically, the A15 cores use less power than the A9's, but there's no point in running the A15 cores, when the A8's can run most tasks with exactly the same level of efficiency and performance. So, lower powered tasks, for instance, the desktop, can run on the A8 cores... so event handling for calls, texts, syncing to dropbox, etc all those tasks run on the A8 just as quick as the A15, but then if you need to have some grunt, you can use the A15's and take advantage. Naturally the A8's use less power so there's the power saving.
