Samsung Galaxy S 3

I just read that topic again and see it was DroidFish, which is different to Chess for Android.As long as the engine is capable of using all the cores then testing DroidFish on multicore cell-phones will give dependable results.

Hi,

Getting the Samsung Galaxy S 3 (US Model) this Thursday, What is the estimated chess strength I can expect from this unit?

Thanks

More than enough to beat you (and just about anyone else on the planet) game after game. ;^)

How do you know!? I may load it with Moron 3.0 ....

Now that is cheating

Seriously though,it's a quad powered device and should be strong enough to kick our arses pretty bad

Yeah, but not in the U.S. Here it's a dual core.

If you want a quad core, may I suggest this?

I pre-ordered this to become my portable chess player.
I hate playing chess on the small screens of smartphones.
