Since the controversy over the Snapdragon 810 overheating problem,the term “throttling” has become commonly used when it comes to mobile processors. You know? This mechanism reduces the frequency of a processor in case of heavy loads as soon as it reaches a certain temperature. The performance then takes a hit. But as you can imagine, not all processors behave the same way.
- On the same theme: Snapdragon 810, how overheating affects its performance
HTC One M9 vs Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6.
In order to define which Soc are the most enduringon the market, which perform the least in the long term and the most consistent, the British site MobileDroid has tested seven processors used in the latest high-ends and which are the following:
- Apple A8: iPhone 6
- Exynos 5433: Galaxy Note 4
- Exynos 7420: Galaxy S6
- Snapdragon 805: Galaxy Note 4
- Snapdragon 808: LG G4
- Snapdragon 810: HTC One M9
- Intel Atom Z3580: Asus Zenfone 2
The CPU part was tested using the Geekbench benchmark tool. The graph below shows the difference between the minimum performance and the maximum performance of each processor. As you can see, the Snapdragon 810 is the lowest ranked since with it, this difference is 65% where the Apple A8 has just over 10% and the Exynos 7420 of the Galaxy S6 just over 40%.
The graph below compares the average performance to the peak performance of each Soc and will therefore yield results closer to actual use. Again, the Snapdragon 810 has an alarming result, but the Snapdragon 808 fares much better as it comes just after the iPhone 6 processor. At this level, it will be noted that the gap between the maximum performance of the Apple A8 and its average performance remains minimal.
The GPU part was tested using the GFXBench T Rex Off Screen tool. On the graph below, the differences between maximum and average performance are shown. Once again, the Apple A8 stands out and for once, the 810 doesn’t come last because it does better than the 805 and the Exynos 5433. As for the Snapdragon 808, it shows an impressive result since it is still in second place. It’s enough to suggest that LG has really made the right choice by integrating it into its G4.
