Early reviews peg Samsung's Galaxy S7 as a serious contender for best smartphone

It's also a misunderstanding the design. the GPU doesn't "throttle" it spikes. It has a turbo mode because games themselves spike in GPU processing power depending on what is going on. In Final Fantasy IX, the GPU can manage at a normal clock rate when you're running around a city or dungeon, and then burst into a faster rate during a more complex battle sequence. The peaks and valleys of video games allow for a GPU design like this to be very effective. -

Need to find where I saw tht yesterday.
Single core is far more important considering how few Apps actually utilize multiple cores. Faster GPU is useless if it throttles after a few minutes.
Unless its Apple's.

Oh and it seems to overheat after high usage:
S7 GPU pretty solid considering the higher resolution of the S7. -

The reviews I've read state the S7 is pretty fast but they still have the occasional hiccup/lag.
Then there's that Reddit user who ran AnTuTu back to back 3 times and got scores of 124, 93 and 95. Sure looks like the SD820 is a sprinter and not a marathon runner (starts to throttle). Which means its GPU advantage isn't really an advantage at all, unless you only play games for a couple minutes at a time.
