Anonymous, 08 Feb 2017This shows how DUMB u are over millions of people who reads... moreLOL at you.. I was trying to correct the perception of people towards SD430 in Nokia 6
People think that SD430 = SD410 = SD400
When in fact that SD430 > SD615 and SD430 > SD801
Just to show that being a 4xx series does not mean it is slow..
For the record Adreno 505 in SD430 is faster than Adreno 405 in SD615/SD616/SD617

See I am talking all about numbers here.. Try and refute me instead of throwing your feelings here LOL

Anonymous, 08 Feb 2017you are talking sh*t. If you have slow CPU, it will be slow... more"you are talking sh*t". >>> haha
"if you have slow cpu, it will be slow in future." >>> you think???
"if you have fast cpu, it will be still ok in future." >>>
"and os don't need much ram" >>> by god's name, i really wish this was true.
"it's more like os are better optimized so they use less ram. marshmallow on my m4 aqua used half the ram of lollipop" >>> this is sh*t
most of the obsolete phones [too slow] are not because the processor cant run os, it's because the ram is too low so that it struggles with the new os and apps requirements.
all new phones are growing with ram, cpus are mostly marketing. >>> that is exactly why samsung doesnt give out 6gb ram up until now. even maybe s8 will come with 4gb. why? because if they give out more ram, people will still be comfortable with their phones and wont buy new ones.
>>> it is obvious new updated os will eat more and more ram so that people are forced to buy new ones, because as i said it, apps and os, doesnt eat from cpu that much, even quadcore a7 can still run marshmallow/lollipop given enough ram, but with 1gb or less ram it will surely have trouble.

Great article. Would love to see more informative technical articles like this. As far as feedback all I could ask for would be more detail on how the chips are actually made. Thank you for all you do.

AnonD-560664, 08 Feb 2017I didn't see anything that shows Apple doing better with 1G... moreActually Apple can do that (it's closer to 3:1 rather than 6:1 memory wise) because they cheat. They eliminate one of the primary uses of computers (processing many things at the same time) freeing way too much memory. Basically when you open a new app, your last one has been frozen in the background, that is to say only a screenshot of its last state is kept in memory, a shortcut of sorts ... none of its internal components work though, you can't call its subroutines from another app, you can't have it continue its work in the background ... etc. They kinda fixed some of the overt background issues after ios7 (apps are less universes of their own and exists some backgrounding in some apps) but with an obious hit in memory (which is why the new iPhone plus needs 3GB of RAM instead of 1GB and why 512MB iOS devices are ultra slow in ios7+ ).
So yeah, you get some, you lose some. Personally I prefer android's approach, because unlike software, hardware advances linearly so it's only a matter of time that android phones would catch up even surpass iOS phones in both performance and functionality (we are almost there with 6-8GB android phones).

1. What happened to app... moreIf they put that in, plus a graph on performance per watt.. all those cpu listed here will be shamed.
So much for a "full" understanding.

Fantastic article!
A few comments:
- could you possibly include a final chart that includes power usage? So, perf/W by freq? That would provide, for the first time, i think, an absolute hierarchy since we could then simply provide a single number, slope (the origin will need to start at 0 in order for this to work), to see which cpus are the best (perf/W tells us efficiency, while freq provides insight into scalability)
- you have the mongoose listed as 2.3GHz, but the score is clearly for multicore, so the soc should be using 2.6GHz

it exists only in your mind. Feel free to link to it though, I need a good laugh.
But for people who actually write software, the notion that Apple can beat Android performance with an 6:1 memory disadvantage is delusional. There is no such thing as magic no matter how many times Apple tells you your product is magical. Devices with less memory have less performance. Software needs memory to run, not just processing power. If you don't have enough memory then you'll just thrash.

Octa-core A53 SoCs from different vendors seem to rank very high on these charts, even beating multiple older flagship SoCs. Only in reality they usually struggle with even basic tasks, and despite more cores they are even worse for multitasking. I owned both A53 based devices and Krait/Kryo quad-cores and Apple dual-cores - A53 octa-cores were the worst of them.

AnonD-560664, 08 Feb 2017LOL, even if OS's don't need much RAM (a false statement), ... moreBut these programs and functions need processing power, not ram. Did you even see the ram management comparison where iPhone with 2GB (1GB was 2014) is better than Samsung with 4 and OnePlus with 6GB. And also, there is no need to be offensive, that just shows that you are clearly a fandroid not able to expand his horizon.

If you have slow CPU, it will be slow... moreLOL, even if OS's don't need much RAM (a false statement), you conveniently forget applications, which do use lots of RAM, becuase they keep on adding functionality and they're not written by the OS developer and becuase users want to keep adding more of them.
The only people who argue RAM isn't important is Apple users who don't know any better trying to justify their 1GB $700 phones.
