At CES, Samsung announced its Exynos 5 Octa SoC featuring four ARM
Cortex A7s and four ARM Cortex A15s. Unusually absent from the
announcement was any mention of the Exynos 5 Octa's GPU configuration.
Given that the Exynos 5 Dual featured an ARM Mali-T604 GPU, we only
assumed that the 4/8-core version would do the same. Based on multiple
sources, we're now fairly confident in reporting that the with the
Exynos 5 Octa Samsung included a PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU running at up to
533MHz.
The PowerVR SGX 544 is a lot like the 543 used in Apple's A5/A5X, however with the addition of DirectX 10 class texturing hardware and 2x faster triangle setup. There are no changes to the unified shader ALU count. Taking into account the very aggressive max GPU frequency, peak graphics performance of the Exynos 5 Octa should be between Apple's A5X and the A6X (assuming Samsung's memory interface is just as efficient as Apple's):
