Mobile/notebook/Desktop CPU performance Comparison evaluation

recently, the well-known foreign primate labs released a new Geekbench 4 testing tools, in addition to supporting cross-platform comparisons, added more dimensional indicators to evaluate CPU and GPU performance, such as the adjustment of integers, floating-point numbers, memory of their respective proportions, Meanwhile, the GPU test (Compute) is added, and the multi-platform contrast is more balanced.

Geekbench 4 is based on Intel Core I7-6600U performance as a benchmark score--4000, naturally higher than 4000 points with better performance, and less than 4000 points experience is gradually reduced. The previous generation of Geekbench 3 was based on the Intel Core i5-2520m as a benchmark--2500 score. We can see that with the rapid development of processor performance, the baseline is also elevated.

Based on this test we brought together the market mainstream mobile phones, notebooks, desktops, for a comprehensive performance of the competition, Geekbench 4 PC version, Android provides CPU single core and multi-core performance, GPU General computing performance test Project, The iOS version currently provides only a single core and multi-core performance test project for CPUs.

CPU single-threaded and multithreaded performance comparisons

First is the comparison of processor performance, the PC (Desktop + notebook) selected core i7-6800k (six cores 12 threads), Core i7-6700k (quad core Eight threads), Core i5-6500 (quad core four threads), core i3-6100 (dual core four threads) and core I7-6700HQ (quad core Eight threads), core I5-6200U (dual core four threads), where core I7-6700HQ and core i5-6200u are geared toward the notebook market.

▲ Desktop top-level platform core i7-6800k + GeForce GTX 1080

The iOS platform chose the ipad Pro a9x, Iphone6s's A9, the ipad Air 2 a8x and IPhone6 A8, with the ipad Air 2 a8x using a triple-core design, the rest being dual-core design.

Android platform selected Samsung Exynos 8890, Exynos 7420, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, Snapdragon 810, MediaTek Helio X25, these are the current mainstream of high-end mobile phone chips.

▲CPU single-threaded and multithreaded performance comparisons

No suspense PC processors are leading the handset processor with a crush advantage, while desktop processors are generally higher than notebook processors, but a closer look at Apple's A9X processor has the power to compete with the low-end mobile processor, both single and multi-core. I5-6200U processor, after all, core I5-6200U processor TDP up to 15W, if the energy efficiency ratio, the core I5-6200U processor may lose very miserably.

The same as the cell phone processor, Apple and Android have won each other, but Apple's dominance is clear, especially with the A9X chip, which rivals the single core performance, knowing that mobile-phone multitasking demands are weak, and that the handset's performance is largely dependent on the processor's single core performance, in addition to the advantages of the iOS system, That's why Apple's fluid experience has always been superior to Android.

Take a look at the Three Musketeers in the Android camp: Samsung, Qualcomm, MediaTek, as a whole to see MediaTek regardless of the single core performance or multi-core performance is slightly inferior, and Gaotong Dragon and Samsung Orion contrast each other win, while Samsung Exynos 8890 is undoubtedly the throne of the Android camp, but Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 is also comparable, closely followed.

Comparison of general computing performance of GPU

General computing performance, Geekbench 4 mainly consider the chip graphics processing Unit compute computing performance, for mobile phone chips, GPU and CPU unit is integrated in a die, while high-end notebook, desktop platform, usually with independent graphics, and these graphics cards unbridled from the rise of power consumption , nature is the handset chip incomparable.

As can be seen from the figure above, excluding the iOS system because Geekbench 4 does not provide a common computing test project, PC Universal computing completely crushes the mobile chip, even the iOS system is difficult to combat. The most powerful GeForce GTX 1080 in the general-purpose computing desktop is 23.91 times times the strongest Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 on the mobile phone, and even the core i5-6200u Igpu is nearly 8,201 times times more advanced than the high pass snapdragon.

In the case of different power consumption difference, the mobile phone chip in general computing performance will be difficult and desktop independent graphics, after all, both the process and architecture are in sync.

Universal computing, the Android camp Samsung Orion unexpectedly overall defeat Gaotong Dragon, and the difference is even more than MediaTek Helio X25 is weaker. We're guessing that Samsung Orion's general computing performance is probably a big surprise on one hand, it's not enough for Geekbench 4, in addition, the running software test is the ultimate peak performance of the processor, and the day-to-day use of the processor can not always continue to peak, and the use of a very large impact on the experience of the temperature is not reflected in the running software.
