Reality..., 04 Jun 2024Exactly! Now this might give them another excuse to jack up... moreVery well said, thank you

Ekott, 04 Jun 2024Why are you interested in benchmarking phones? Same analogyA smartphone and car's infotainment system is like comparing apples to oranges. Benchmarking a smartphone should tell you whether it will meet your expectations. Benchmarking a car's infotainment system, what should one expect really?

Car with 22GB of ram??? Thats very impressive but still see no light for this.
Cant even imagine for what a car needs 22GB of ram or a 256GB of storage.
Using app maps.me in my phone having downloaded all existing offline maps of the whole world it took me 67GB of disk space. And thats a phone.
Dont know for what a car needs 22GB of ram and more than 128GB of storage.

I am not getting PC on wheels until it comes with Ryzen 9000 and 16 cores CPU and 100TFLOP GPU, so I can play Candy Crush while I am driving :) But seriously Antutu is a joke, with a useless score system, to promote certain Chinese models :P

Same analogyPeople use phones basically the whole day, and for a variety of functions where performance can be of some relevance, from web browsing, light photo editing, video etc.
A car has, for 99 % of the people, just one purpose, getting one from point A to point B. The 1 % drive more for the driving than getting somewhere. The only things related to infotainment performance in those two are, to get to point B, navigation, which works perfectly well on 10-15+ year old cars and, perhaps, to get there a bit safer and faster, some live traffic info, which also isn't anything new, be it over the internet, radio as a data stream or radio as regular spoken TA. Perhaps a bit of Bluetooth to be able to play my own music without carrying several CDs and you've got a perfect car infotainment.
Where is there a need for god knows how powerful infotainment computers? So the simplest things like temperature readings can be nicely animated and thereby extremely distracting to the driver? So the car too can start harassing me with constant updates to unnecessary apps because software is no longer being properly developed and everything is constantly full of bugs? So UI can constantly change and lead to even more distraction instead of controlling things with the only acceptable solution for car controls, i.e. buttons and switches? Very smart indeed. The more new cars I see, the more certain I am that I will keep my almost 10 year old one, developed before all this nonsense, till it falls apart.

Ekott, 04 Jun 2024I don't completely agree with you, benchmark makes com... moreSU7 is a failure of a vehicle mate, at least in its current state. I understand the points made about painfully slow touch interfaces that certain manufactures used to have ( toyota, Honda, subaru, volvo comes to mind). But most of that was as a result if cramming too much into a touch interface ex volvo.
Efficiency of energy consumption and reliability should be top priorities in any vehicle (EV or ICE). Cramming these fast CPUs into a machine that has to endure the worst of either sides of a temperature scale is a bad idea imho. I mean just look at how the top of the line cpus throttle inside a smartphone. What do you think will happen when they're used in a vehicle parking under a scorching sun for hours?
The infotainment of a vehicle is best designed with the simplest possible OS , running on the most energy efficient and durable chips. Most controls should be physical. It's okay to have the map software and maybe contacts etc for hands free calling and finally the revising/360 degree camera. Okay maybe some decent audio player software but that's about it.
Even the current infotainment setups are crammed.to the hilt with all sorts of telemetry/ tracking software.
Imagine what else they'd put in there after this benchmark war takes.off and they put in faster chips?
I blame EVs for this appliancification of vehicles....

Practically Dumb, 04 Jun 2024EV's continue to be more of a toy than an alternative ... moreExactly! Now this might give them another excuse to jack up the (already insane) proces of new vehicles (regardless of EV/ICE status). Most people here don't realise how the car industry works. Even a small increase in the expenditure for a particular component reflects massively in the final price tag!
Also, this might give them an excuse to remove what little physical controls that remain, claiming that the touch interface is now 'fast enough to handle everything.
There should never have been any touch screen bs associated with the controls used on a daily basis in the first place (hvac, radio, volume, navigation, drive modes etc).
Don't even get me started on the planned obsolescence that usually follows 😒...

Reality..., 04 Jun 2024Wow great! A mindless specification war thanks to benchmark... moreI don't completely agree with you, benchmark makes companies, strive to work harder by giving a nicer, smoother and better infotainment option. Yes, not everyone needs an infotainment screen, but after seeing that on the SU7, I feel it's a shame we are getting here now.

a "CAR" that is unable to brake safely can excel in infotainment performance benchmarks...is Xiaomi aware what this product is made for in the first place? LoL

Elon Musk is negotiating with Nvidia about the next-generation AI chip that runs Linux as an OS, ability to upgrade hardware and software should be a natural part of car ownership its a normal computer with peripherals and all you other computers should be visible in the car nothing strange

"But can it run Minecraft?" like why in the world do I wanna use the infotainment as a tablet when I have ones that have better "screens" than those. Idk what the point of using Antutu is, but personally I like the infotainment to have the current apps + YouTube in it, nothing else.

bunyip22, 04 Jun 2024It actually makes sense. I've driven cars in the past ... moreExactly!! Almost all of them are crap and slow. But appearantly this comment section doesn’t get it, just trying to make fun of it. Probably they have never used such a system but they are experts in it nevertheless… 🤦♂️

So they finally stopped prettening that current tablets with attached car accessory is a car and benchmarking it as what is? I guess that can be considered progress.
Car is powered by snapdragon, obviously not by a motor or engine.

In few year human will have antutu benchmark
Where will obama will rank?
