benchmark doesnt make have any significance in real world usage.
yesterday i flash archidroid samsung touch wiz one. used it from morning till night, i feel sien waiting for things to open.
i send lots of whatsapp, but everytime tap the homescreen shortcut to whatsapp someone, need wait a little longer. everything is smooth but have tiny delay compared to temasek. its not big difference, but noticeable enough to be annoying.
archidroid also get somewhere around 18k, which is same as temasek.
nexus 4 antutu is between 17k-18k, but trust be the nexus 4 is way more responsive than s3 is every aspect. these score doesn't really make any sense nor does it represent real world usage.
weird news that moto G beat nexus 4 in antutu. shows how unreliable antutu is

note3 read and write is more than twice faster than s3.
(120MB/s &75MB/s) vs (44MB/s & 23.63MB/s)
nexus 5 (78MB/s & 53MB/s)
s4 (75MB/s & 23MB/s)
note 1 (19MB/s & 3MB/s)
I have different view. Higher benchmark definitely telling how a phone behaving. I can bet with your that same model phone that running same ROM/ Kernel but one with lesser bloatware will definitely have higher benchmark the one without removing bloatware.
The one with boosted custom kernel and lesser bloatware will definitely score higher and smoother than the one running on Stock ROM/ Kernel also with lesser bloatware.
I have few friends complaining their note 3 is lagging.. guess what???? they have installed some apps that required high I/O and RAM.
I have installed the same apps to my S3.. wow it's really causing lag.
I don't have note 3 and if i have my note 3 will be a wild beast after removing bloatware and disable samsung great features..
Cut the story short, conclusion is... high benchmark will definitely playing an important role and if with better kernel will refine the performance.. Also with less bloatware and less resource hungry apps is added value..
