How appropriate that this story comes out right about the time major league baseball is handing out suspensions for performance enhancing drugs. Turns out the S4 is also juiced.
How do I order some for my car?
Oh.. and don't miss one of the most important lines of the story..
Galaxy S4 i9500 - the model that features Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa chipset

That's the international model. So if you're in the US and own an S4 you don't have a phone that has been giving phony benchmark numbers.... The conclusion of Anandtech's article states. "None of this ultimately impacts us." and "The rest of our suite [meaning, benchmarks they actually use] isn?t impacted by the aggressive CPU governor and GPU frequency optimizations on the Exynos 5 Octa " [/FONT]

So check which model S4 you have if you're curious. (US models use the Snapdragon 600 quad core). Basically Samsung was caught cheating with a phone only some countries sell, in benchmarks that aren't heavily used.[/FONT]
