      Genshin impact says hello.

      Put highest settings and 60 fps and most phones cannot keep stable 60 fps due to throttling.

Xiaomi doesn't control Weibo, so how can it delete comments? And the motherboard burnt guy can't even provide details on what happened - He is just an attention seeker, just like the guy who bent his Mi 11.

          PS: Doubt you are using iPhone. Trolls don't get paid more than peanuts, after all.

              I completely agree with OnePlus
              I use custom kernels for my phone
              And I always use mid cores for social apps
              But I think for browsing the BIG core is a must have because web is single core process and it needs as much power as possible for it to work properly

                  Dudenoway, 13 Jul 2021Sure bud. Antutu caught A14 throttle 40% of its perfomance.... more40%?

                  Checked Gary Explains Speed Test G and only throttles like 5%. The A13 did much worse at 15% and that is a Pro Max. There’s no benchmark cheating.

                    No Apple is not cheating otherwise it’ll get banned earlier.

                      Panino Manino, 13 Jul 2021OP is NOT WRONG! The low end cores are already enough, can... moreYes yes apple uses its big cores without wasting battery life. Geekbench is biased with apple so it makes apple faster. Sure it does match with other soc. And LOL it uses its small core and gets perfomance matching sd 888 cortex x1. Bruh that too while using the same perfomance as its main big core. Small cores are made to perform less and apple did not make it match with the big core. It's simple. Less ghz=less power hungry=better battery life=good battery life and happy customer. Its not about all about throttling it's perfomance and not even telling the user. It's about making the soc less power hungry just like Samsung exynos 2100 it is less perfomance but less power hungry and better battery life

                                So what now.
                                Do we return back to 60Hz LCd panels with up to HD resolution???
                                At least it solve one thing battery consumption.
                                Old phones of old times had worse screens but much smaller batteries and lasted longer time than current phones.
                                Every technology has its limmiters and once we must come to an end where that technology cannot be upgraded or evolved any further.
                                This going to be same.

                                Like vynyl plates wereoutrunes by cassetes then CDs came, DVDs and the Blue ray is last of its kind.
                                This going to be same.
                                Small phone screen have its limits and putting a 32 or 64 or 512k panel for example to a 6 inch device is unbearable and impossible and even if it will be possible it will be good only on paper.

                                Same like M 1 chips by apple. You have fastest chip on a cell phone with most numbers on benchmark but in real life use is slover than any half baked Mediatek or Qualcomm chip.

                                  Anonymous, 13 Jul 2021What?!!! When did Samsung ever say their phones were downclocked?Well Samsung gives you the option to downclock your phone for longer battery life and it does work on a large scale..simply putting your cpu to run at 70%for light apps gives you an extra 1 to 2 hours

                                      Example: me. I'm an Android Windows guy, but I get iPads because they are legitimately good. And no, the A14 does NOT throttle and explode like you claim. Even if it does throttle, it's still ahead of the 888 and won't face much trouble.

                                        Company like apple know this for a very long time. Thats why their battery issue is long time known.
