The Galaxy S5 is using the Exynos 5422 chipset in which acc to wikipedia the T628mp6 should run at 695 mhz but my phone scores the same as the Note 3 in the 3D MARK benchmark.The Note 3 is using the exynos 5420 in which the t628mp6 is running at 533 mhz.
On the other hand the SGS5 scores more than the note 3 in the GFX BENCH benchmark.
I am really confused about the speed it is actually running at .
Cheers!

This is probably a question best asked on the Samsung forums - we can't comment on customer clock speed choices.
However, what I can say is that devices often choose to run below the maximum possible clock frequency of the silicon - it's better for energy efficiency, device thermals, batter life, etc. Different form factors generally have different tradeoffs (the same SoC in a tablet can run faster than the same SoC in a small form factor smartphone, etc).

Hi abhmkh,
Most devices expose the clock information for the GPU, so you could monitor the clock speed yourself and even see what the manufacturer has deemed the best ranges of frequencies to use with their DVFS policy.
We dont control this directly so if you have any issues with the clock speed, you would need to contact the device manufacturer.
An example on where to find the clock speed: (Note, this will change for different devices. This is specifically for the Mali based Samsung Galaxy S5)
cd /sys/devices/11800000.mali/ cat clock # Current Clock speed cat dvfs_table # DVFS Table of Frequencies
I hope this helps, if you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
Kind Regards,
