Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 evaluation | Hang all new thousand standard

Now all the cell phone manufacturers are very cunning, playing word games comparable to Taobao profiteers.

Give a simple example, the current popularity of thousands of machine hardware platform there are several: Qualcomm Xiaolong 625/626, Qualcomm Xiaolong 630, MediaTek Helio P20 / P25, unicorn 655/658/659. Logically, Vendors are obliged to inform consumers about the exact model of the platform they are using for their handsets, to avoid confusion. However, more vendors have chosen to replace it with a 'generic name' that is '8-core 64-bit processors'.

A well-known mobile phone manufacturer product promotion page

The name is quite interesting - in fact, most of the mainstream mobile phone SoCs on the market have 8-core 64-bit CPU specifications, from the 'Cancer' MediaTek Helio P10 to the top Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, the name is applicable.

That is to say, ordinary users who do not understand the hardware of the mobile phone, see the words of "8-core 64-bit processor", and then in the manufacturer's product promotion page was such as 'high performance' 'low power consumption' The brain, most likely the middle of the arms .In fact, the mouth of the manufacturer's "low power consumption", in the practical application scenario is likely to become a "card into a dog." Open microblogging WeChat circle of friends, you Always see a variety of people complain about the phone 'just bought a few months on Caton', or even 'new buy on Caton' .The reason behind this, perhaps more than anyone else mobile phone manufacturers know.

We originally brought Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 detailed test for everyone, but the beginning of such a lot of nonsense, the purpose or want to buy mobile phones in the future when you pay attention to the manufacturers of advertising language.After all, equipped with Snapdragon 630 products to thousands of machines for the Main, hardware performance is generally inadequate Thousands of machines is the manufacturer of word games 'focus on' the object. Thousands of machines commonly used hardware platform name and specific models see the table, it is recommended that you collect, if necessary, can be directly out of control.

Qualcomm Xiaolong 630

As we all know, Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 series from the second half of 2015 Xiaolong 650/652 began formally divided into two lines in the middle and low end.Medium-based Snapdragon 600 series is currently updated to the Snapdragon 630, high-end has been updated To Xiaolong 660. The latter is a platform for many popular high-end machines, but due to the millet's red rice Note series has not yet introduced a new machine, Xiaolong 630 has not been able to enter the domestic mainstream mobile phone users horizons.

Today, we bring the Snapdragon 630 evaluation; as usual, the evaluation is divided into two parts of the benchmark performance and actual performance; all tests using Nokia 7 equipped with the platform to complete the test results compared with the part by the carrying Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 platform nuts Pro completed.

Benchmark performance test

Benchmark performance, as its name implies, is the ultimate performance, or theoretical performance, of a SoC without interference from the environment. Since it is not possible to completely avoid any disturbances in a non-ideal environment, we chose to refrigerate in the refrigerator Room to test to minimize the impact of temperature on the performance of this important variable.

Quantifying the benchmarks of a SoC is as easy as running off-the-shelf software - such as GeekBench 4, which is a great handset benchmarking tool for CPU performance on CPUs and GPUs. Weakening the weight of running evaluation on overall performance is mainly due to the fact that the performance of handsets in daily life may be greatly different from its benchmark performance. However, in the project that specializes in testing benchmark performance, the score measured by running software is quite important. Come down, let's take a look at the Snapdragon 630 and 626 score.

You can see the Snapdragon 630 compared to the former Snapdragon 626, the CPU benchmark performance is not improved, the difference between the two scores can even be used to explain the reasonable error from the CPU specifications of the two platforms, Snapdragon 630 Using a 2.2GHz + 1.8GHz core A53 architecture, while the Snapdragon 626 uses a 2.2GHz parallel eight-core A53 architecture - for running points software, this change is minimal Micro-Dragon 626 and 630 performance As a thousand machine hardware platform are fully adequate, while the size of the latter architecture in the practical application of power and fever control can be more helpful.

Next look at the GPU benchmark performance test, Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 just released six months ago, Qualcomm said its Adreno 508 GPU performance compared to the previous Adreno 506 upgrade up to 30%; while in the GeekBench 4 test, the score value Of the upgrade has been more than 50%, is simply a live call to play.Remember, the high-end Snapdragon 660 Adreno 512 GPU used in this test is obtained 4367 points, in other words, the Snapdragon 630 already has To control the "king of glory," the strength of the high frame rate mode, see cell phone manufacturers do not give Tencent pay.

Actual scene test

With the GPU benchmark performance of 'Snapdragon 626', we put the Nokia 7 and the Nut Pro into practical scenarios for a 30-minute full-time QP test on the NBA 2K17. As always, we remind everyone : Baseline performance is something you never experience in everyday life, not only the ambient temperature and battery status will affect the performance of the phone experience, the number of processes, resource consumption, and so you have to include variables.

Since the test was not yet heating in Beijing, the real-world test room temperature was still 17 ° C. At this temperature, the actual performance of the handset would be closer to its baseline (theoretical limit) performance than in summer. Let's take a look at it Two cell phone test results.

Equipped with Xiaolong 630 Nokia 7 game full frame rate median 37fps, frame rate stability (median plus or minus 20% range of the frame rate distribution ratio) 81.49%. Can be said that the Snapdragon 630 played a very efficient and stable Performance, not only the picture smooth, follow the operation of the hand, but also to allow such a state has lasted 30 minutes.To know, this is a Thousand Yuan machine SoC, this performance can be called 'next generation' level.

Let's look at the nuts Pro equipped with the Snapdragon 626, test scores stand up and judge only 30fps frame rate median, the picture fluency a bad level, 77.9% of the frame rate stability than the Snapdragon 630. Two Compared to completely inferior generation of performance.

It is worth mentioning that the Snapdragon 626 platform test the entire CPU average occupancy rate of 19.21%, GPU average occupancy rate is as high as 95.51%, while the Snapdragon 630 CPU average occupancy rate of 16.63%, GPU average occupancy rate of 82.59%. In other words, Xiaolong 630 do not have to come up with all the strength can easily beat Xiaolong 626, but also eliminates unnecessary power consumption and fever.

Finally, we tested the highest temperature of the body surface of the two devices under test with an infrared thermometer at 10 minutes after the start of the test and at 30 minutes after the start of the test, respectively. The first temperature measurement 34.3 ℃, the second number of 36 ℃, very calm in super-large games to have such a temperature performance, really tough.

While the performance of the huge snapdragon 630 platform does heat up slightly, it is undeniable - we all know, these two SoC uses the same 14nm LPP process technology, the same process to enhance the performance of the inevitable Means the fever growth.First measured temperature Nokia 36.4 ℃, the second temperature measurement 37.9 ℃, 624 than the Xiao Long a lot higher, compared to the 10nm process Xiaolong 835 and unicorn 970 also have more Big gap.

With the red rice Note 5 related broke the news more and more, perhaps the fastest end of the year we will be able to see the first domestic machine equipped with Snapdragon 630. The overall strength of this SoC upgrade as much as Snapdragon In addition to CPU and GPU performance, Snapdragon 630 is also equipped with a Snapdragon 821 with the same paragraph of the X12 Modem, uplink rate of Cat.12 level, down to Cat.13 level. Unicorn 659 now still 'stick to' ancestral Cat.7, but also does not support 5G Wi-Fi ... Buy thousands of machines the most cost-effective, after all, who the cost-effective? I think we have known.


Now all the cell phone manufacturers are very cunning, playing word games comparable to Taobao profiteers.
