It’s no secret that the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 is the processor most sought-after by smartphone makers this year. Qualcomm has managed to cram some impressive performance numbers and LTE connectivity into the 28nm chip, making it one of the most efficient chips on the market.
One added benefit of the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 is the chip’s amazing heat efficiency. In order to show the difference between the heat expelled by the S4 chip and that of its competitors, Qualcomm could have simply taken thermal images of various devices while performing CPU intensive tasks. Instead, Qualcomm took a few sticks of butter and placed them on top of a few phones to see which device melts butter the slowest.
We’re not sure if Qualcomm is playing favorites in its butter benchmark test, but if you have a few spare phones running on different processors, you could easily run the butter benchmark on your own. All you need are at least two phones, a couple ziploc bags to keep your devices safe, and of course, some butter.
Check out the video below to see why “Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 is the coolest kid on the block – and we mean it literally.”

Reply James JunGuest 24 hours ago Thumb upThumb down +3Heat is definitely one area that I think phone and chipset makers should be aware of fully considering the heating problems on my Galaxy Nexus and former Samsung Fascinate. It’s awesome to know that these are keeping this at forefront.

22glennw 18 hours ago Thumb upThumb down +1I’d like to see the butter challenge between the International and US versions of the HTC One X, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S III. That way we’d know the only (applicable) difference in the phone specs are the CPUs.
Replywell sgs2 always fry my fingers when playing some games longer than 30 mins
Reply MattGuest 16 hours ago Thumb upThumb down -1im using galaxy s2 and i can confirm that, not “frying” its getting warm ather a heafy 3d session, no too hot like stock ROM
ReplyCouldn’t the battery heat also be playing a big part in this?
ReplyMy HTC One S got blazing hot and I’ve seen other people posting on XDA about similar experiences. At any rate, it’s a cool video.

ReplyI’m upset that the two other phones were not named or their processors. One of the phones was a SGS II for sure. That is an older piece of tech. What does it do compared to the SGS III. I think newer tech would make a more fair comparison. I don’t know what the third phone was. It almost looked like it might of been a Droid phone when shown in the inverted light and looking at the shape of the phone. No Droid phones have the specs or processors as the newer high end phones today. I think it was a good type of test but not fairly compared at all.
