ARM vs Adreno vs Apple: Dimensity 9000 ARM Mali-G710 MP10 GPU tops the efficiency list

圖片
 In terms of efficiency measured by FPS/Watt, the ARM Mali-G710 MP10 ranks top in the comparison chart of top mobile SoC GPUs. This amazing chart created using the GFXBench 3.1 benchmark also reveals the amazing position of the GPU part of the Snapdragon 865, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888. A mobile SoC GPU efficiency chart has thrown out some arguably shocking results. The table contains 10 high-end SoCs, led by the ARM Mali-G710 MP10 component, which apparently appeared in the so-called MediaTek Dimensity 9000 prototype device. Apple SoC ranks third and fourth in the form of A15 and A14, while GPUs in Google's Tensor chip, Samsung's Exynos 2100 and Huawei's Kirin 9000 occupy seventh, eighth and ninth places respectively. Snapdragon chips with Adreno GPUs are scattered throughout the chart, providing a mixture of good news and bad news. MediaTek Dimensity 9000 has left a deep impression with its powerful CPU components, but the ARM Mali-G710 MP10 also proved its wor...

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 disappoints in early real gaming tests

圖片
 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is Qualcomm's most powerful chipset to date. At least on paper, gaming tests have shown that the chipset cannot keep up in terms of sustained performance because it succumbed to high temperatures, high power consumption, and significant throttling of less than five minutes. Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is Qualcomm's latest and best flagship chipset to date. It already faces fierce competition from MediaTek Dimensity 9000 and the upcoming Exynos 2200, but it may not be up to the task, at least if the early game tests are still available. According to Golden Reviewer's test, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 on the Motorola Edge X30 showed an incredible display effect in the 10-minute Genshin Impact test. Sources regularly test new chipsets to gain a deeper understanding of the continued performance of the real world. Recently, Google's Tensor has also disappointed. In the test, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 had a strong start, providing about 60 FPS in the first few minutes. However...

Google Pixel 6 / Pro has another bug: the screen auto-rotation function does not work

圖片
 Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro did not take long after they were launched, but a large number of bugs have been exposed. This series of phones has become Google's most buggy phone so far. According to reports from Android Police, Google’s Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro software seems to have bugs frequently, and the one that seems to be most affected is the auto-rotation function of the phone’s screen. This problem was not fixed in the December patch, and many users still cannot make their phone screens rotate automatically. This problem seems to stem from a communication failure between the Pixel 6's physical sensors and the software. Sometimes, the device does not seem to be able to read the data provided by some of the sensors, namely the gyroscope, accelerometer and compass. This was discovered by testing using the sensor test application and found that feedback from the sensor sometimes fails. The gyroscope and accelerometer are responsible for detecting when the screen is autom...

Intel 12th generation Core i3 evaluation released: 10nm 4-core small steel gun without rivals

圖片
 A few days ago, the reviewer enthusiastic citizen Stroke Monster released the evaluation of the 12th-generation Core i3 12100 and 12300. The results show that the new generation of i3 has almost no rival in the current quad-core products. First look at the parameters, i3-12100, 12300 are both 10nm ESF process, 4 cores and 8 threads, the former is up to 4.3GHz, the latter is up to 4.4GHz, 12MB L3 cache can be described as a huge improvement, TDP is only 60W. In Cinebench R20, i3-12100 single-core 645, multi-core 3276, i3-12300 single-core 664, multi-core 3334, there is little difference. For comparison, AMD 4-core APU R3 5350G single-core 531, multi-core 2638. In the AIDA64 baking machine test, i3-12100 power consumption 61.2W, i3-12300 power consumption 64.1W, not as low as AMD R3 5350G (44.8W). But in terms of baking machine temperature, Intel's 12th-generation i3 performed better at 61 degrees and 62 degrees, and AMD R3 5350G was 68 degrees. In the game test with RX 6800XT, the ...
