This includes phones from major manufacturers such as Oppo, Realme, Xiaomi and Sony. Also this comes as a reminder for Qualcomm and Samsung to step up their processor game so as to at least reach within competing distances with the top tier of the smartphone industry (purely on performance basis…I don’t wish to start a debate on which phone is better :P).The company behind PCMark’s benchmarking rankings has delisted roughly 50 devices from its system after reports surfaced that their RealTek processors were boosting performance during testing. So, yeah to conclude it, I really appreciate the work done by Primate Labs on Geekbench 4. The A9 and A10 Fusion just fly through these processor intensive tasks while 820 and E8890 clearly struggle. The results became even more clear when the mobile is pushed to perform some extreme processor intensive tasks such as exporting 4k video streams in Adobe Premier Clip or creating time lapse videos in Lapseit. Both the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 7 (which is way faster than the already super fast 6s) lapped the Note 7 in the above mentioned speed test, thus embarrassing the Silicon inside most Android OEMs. YES, no 2016 Android phone could match the performance of the year old iPhone 6s, hence comparisons with the iPhone 7 don’t even make sense. The iPhone 6s became the first phone (launched in 2015) to remain undefeated throughout it’s entire cycle i.e. To give weight to my statements, I would recommend you to watch the videos linked below: Youtube channel Phonebuff, does one of the most accurate speed test comparisons of smartphones. Now, with the new updated benchmarks, not only do Apple’s devices score the highest but even remain the fastest. Over all these years(before 2015) Apple’s devices were never the top benchmark scoring devices, but still remained the fastest ones out there. (NOTE: iPhone 7’s single core score is almost double of the highest Android based device’s single core score) The A9 powered devices still remain the 2nd fastest mobile devices after the newly released iPhone 7 and 7 Plus( true beasts powered by the A10 Fusion, single core scores of around 3400 and multi core scores of around 5600: The highest geek bench scores for any mobile device). This transition from Geekbench 3 to Geekbench 4 did not affect the scores of iPhone 6s/6s plus/ipad pro (powered by the A9 and A9x – Apple’s own beasts) or in other words their scores remained the same, with Apple’s devices trumping every mobile device on this planet in per core performance. So I leave it to you to decide what I wish to make out of this □įurthermore, let me point out something interesting. Snapdragon 820 powers almost 95% of all high end flagship devices, and the fall is significant( Single core: 2357->1573 Multi core: 5339->3520). The scores have dropped significantly, and its not just these but almost all processors listed here. I have specifically marked the differences in the scores of two chips- Samsung’s in house Exynos 8890 powering the Galaxy S7,S7 edge and the explosive(pun intended) Note 7 and Kirin 950 Huawei’s in house SOC. Here are the Geekbench 3 and Geekbench 4 scores of top Android devices powering SOCs (and for that matter Windows phones as well, if you still consider their existence). “On the Exynos 5410, Samsung was detecting the presence of certain benchmarks and raising thermal limits (and thus max GPU frequency) in order to gain an edge on those benchmarks”.“With the exception of Apple and Motorola, literally every single OEM we’ve worked with ships (or has shipped) at least one device that runs this silly CPU optimisation.”.Certain statements from the article(article linked below in citations): Anandtech (another exceptional site) published an article at that time wherein they discussed how Android OEMs faked actual performance to attain higher benchmark scores. Now I would want you all to revert back to the times when Galaxy S4 and Note 3 were Samsung’s flagships. According to XDA Developers (the go to site for any tech geek), the latest iteration of Geekbench is more accurate than the previous one. Geekbench 3 recently received the version 4 update. In this article I’ll be talking about one of the most popular benchmarking tools- GEEKBENCH. But yeah realistic views apart, these tools are handy to track the evolution and strength of the SILICON inside. Well, for starters Benchmarking apps are utilised to assess and compare CPU/SOC/GPU performance by stressing the logical cores synthetically, something that one wouldn’t do in day to day usage.
