Exynos 8890 whips Snapdragon 820 and Apple A9 in multi-threading tests
The Exynos 8890 was outstanding among all five chipsets tested
It turns out the Exynos 8890 is the most powerful multi-threading processor out there, knocking the socks off the more popular Apple A9 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820. Last week, the A9 outperformed other top-tier mobile processors simply because it didn’t test against the Exynos 8890 released only a short time ago.
The Exynos 8890 was outstanding among all five chipsets tested while the A9 placed last. Its power-packed performance in multi-thread processing got 7,400 points in GeekBench testing.
Behind the Exynos 8890 were Huawei’s Helio X20 with 6,600 points; Kirin 950 with 6,400 points; the Snapdragon 820 with 5,300 points and the Apple A9 with 4,436 points.
The GeekBench data suggests that next-gen CPU’s have improved drastically compared to high-end chipsets that rolled out in early 2015. GeekBench’s multi-threading tests estimate how quickly a processor is able to perform a wide range of calculations.
The Exynos 8890 super-fast performance stems from its eight application cores that include an ARM low-power application core; a ‘LITTLE” cluster and an ARM Cortex-A53. From what we saw in earlier chipsets, the new ones are showing steady improvements.
The competition’s been tough among the leading SoCs: Medi Tek Helio X20, Kirin 950, Apple A9, Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890. Only the latter surpassed all its rivals, however, reports Gforgames. Leakster “Ice Universe” declared the Exynos 8890 is outstanding among all five chipsets.
Multi-core processors are highly regarded, but in real world the vast majority of operating systems and applications use two core processors. Therefore, the Apple A9 and Qualcomm chipsets show the highest power efficiency despite having the lowest benchmark results, reports Android Headlines.
