This is, of course, assuming the benchmark score is legit. Even the Google Pixel C (a large tablet with a Nvidia Tegra X1 chipset ) barely wins out.
Adreno 530 vs 418 plus#
Only the iPhone 6s Plus GPU, the PowerVR GT7600 (6-core), comes close and even that one doesn't quite catch up. This allows it to be overclocked more, increasing performance. The graphics card uses a combination of water and air to reduce the temperature of the card. Qualcomm promised a 40% performance improvement on top of a 40% power reduction over the Adreno 420 used in the S810.Įarly GFXBench tests show the difference can be even bigger than expected. This generally results in better performance than a similar, single-GPU graphics card. Early processor benchmarks didn't wipe out the competition, but maybe the new Adreno 530 GPU could impress. Its results are actually comparable to those of the Adreno 418 in the Snapdragon 808 and the Adreno 510 in the Snapdragon 652 - both of which are mid-range chipsets and not aiming for the high-end like the Kirin 950.Īll of the results in these charts are averages, and not the highest ones ever achieved by each chip.Everyone is eager to forget the Snapdragon 810 issues and move on to the 820. Huawei's Kirin 950 comes with a Mali-T880MP4 GPU, and the difference in the number of cores compared to the T880MP12 in the Exynos 8890 is obvious from its measly performance. The Adreno 420 from the Snapdragon 805 oddly makes a showing here even though the chipset itself is no longer in AnTuTu's Top 10. The Adreno 430 inside the Snapdragon 810 can't keep up with the top three GPUs, nor can the Mali-T760MP8 inside the Exynos 7420. The Mali-T880MP12 in the Exynos 8890 comes very close to the PowerVR GT7600 in Apple's chip, but it's all downhill from there onwards. Again the Apple A9 is second, but this time the difference between them is much bigger. Next up we have the GPU listings, where once again the Snapdragon 820 is king, with its Adreno 530. Now if the 652 is the moral successor to the 810, then the 650 is the same thing for the 808, only in this case the newer model has already managed to outperform its predecessor, and by quite a margin no less. The Apple A8 is in eighth place, followed by the Snapdragon 650 and the Snapdragon 808. This one is understandably close to the 810 in performance since it is in some ways the real successor to that, at least on the CPU side, still using only ARM-designed cores, but replacing the Cortex-A57s with the newer Cortex-A72s. Adreno 1xx Adreno 130 4 0.133 1.1 1.1 Direct3D Mobile MSM7x00, MSM7x00A, MSM7x01, MSM7x01A Adreno 2xx Adreno 200 (AMD Z430) 5-way VLIW: 8 65 133 22.85 0.133 2.1 2.0 1.1 1. Then we have a couple of 2015 flagship chipsets, the Exynos 7420 and Snapdragon 810, followed by the new upper-midrange Snapdragon 652. The third place goes to Samsung's Exynos 8890, while Huawei's Kirin 950 drops to fourth (from second place just a couple of months ago). So the A9 isn't the runaway leader in this category anymore ( as it used to be not that long ago). Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 manages to beat Apple's A9 here, with 136,383 points to 132,657. In this case we have two Top 10 lists to speak of.įirst off, there's the chart relating "smartphone chip performance" as of early March 2016, which you can see below. As it does from time to time, the AnTuTu benchmark has released the latest chipset rankings based on results that have been obtained running it.
