Smartphone Processors – How do they really work?

Processors known as the “brain” of your device. Therefore, it plays an important role to handle and instruct your software apps.

All phones have their specific kinds of processor. It can be integrated into the main cell phone chip, or be in a separate computer chip. Better or faster processor supports the apps to run faster. The speed of raw processor is measured in MHz or GHz ( GHz = 1,000MHz).

By the way, there are some processor are more powerful than  the others. Thus, although there are two processors both are 1GHz, the more powerful one will run the software apps better.

5 Best Performing Processors

No matter how hind-end specs of your phone, the device would become meaningless if the smartphone processor cannot be able to handle. That is the reason why phone’s CPU is really essential. Knowing this special point, we would like to introduce to technology users the 5 best ranked processors in the recent time. The below list are scored by benchmark AnTuTu’s tests.

5. Qualcomm Snapdragon 805

Standing at the fifth stage, Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 offers features as :

•   2.7GHz quad-core CPU
•   Used by Samsung Galaxy Note 4
•   Benchmark score on AnTuTu – 50,158

4. Qualcomm Snapdragon 810

Coming next is Qualcomm Snapdragon 810  with :

•   64-bit octa-core processor (2.0GHz Cortex-A57 quad-core/1.5GHz Cortex-A53 quad-core)
•   Used by Xiaomi Mi Note Pro
•   Benchmark score on AnTuTu – 53,518

3. Samsung Exynos 7420

The third rank comes with Samsung Exynos 7420. Recently, Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge are powered by this processor

• 64-bit octa-core processor
• Used by Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
• Benchmark scores on AnTuTu – 69,856/68,079 (S6/S6 Edge)

2. MediaTek MT6797 Helio X20

Appear second powerful one is MediaTek MT6797 Helio X20, which is an upcoming to CPU for smartphone.

• Deca-core processor (2.5GHz Cortex-A72 dual-core/2.0GHz Cortex-A53 quad-core/1.4GHz Cortex-A53 quad-core)
• Upcoming CPU for smartphones
• Benchmark score on AnTuTu – 70,000+

1. Tegra X1

Ranked first is Tegra X1 with almost 75K benchmark scores tops the list. The promissing Processor worth to wait to appear in the near future.

• 64-bit octa-core processor
•  Upcoming CPU for smartphones
•  First mobile chip to provide a teraflop of processing power
•  Benchmark score on AnTuTu – 74,977

Basing on those information, it is promising that the two overpowering processors Tegra X1 and MediaTek’s Helio x20 are on the ways to come. They are truly worth to wait for, which is hopeful to bring out the super high-specs devices.

Up to the present time, it can be assumed that the two device Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have to most enormous CPU Samsung Exynos 7420, which relies on AnTuTu’s listing.

After above information, we hoping that technology lovers will have the deeper insight about our tech devices and have the rational choice comparisons.
