For a non-techie as myself I appreciate you breaking things down as you do, making this world less confusing. Thank you.
Hey Gary,
Consider talking about CPU Governors and I/O Schedulers. Maybe discuss new changes in the latest kernels such as Energy Aware Scheduling and MultiQueue I/O.
I'd love to see a video like that.
Thanks :)
Tyler Nijmeh
Where do you read about that ????
@@ko-Daegu You can generally only get that kind of information by keeping up closely with Linux kernel changes and piecing together disparate sources around the internet.
Qualcomm makes profit out of classified datasheets, even a single embedded DSP has is own datasheet. You don't expect to get these info from a free source.
I love your work Gary especially on the hardware stuff there is not much people who cover on the hardware stuff so I like your work keep going great work keep rocking
😎You watch a Gary's video & suddenly you know how, when & why a particular thing works. Great explanation as always..!!🤘
This is only youtube channel we will get correct information about smartphone and its tech
Hello Gary,
Do the same with the Exynos variant. Thx alot and a super well done for the wonderful lectures.
Professor Sims - Another fine video. One suggestion, which came to mind watching the comparison video of snapd8, media tech, and kirin chips. A quick synopsis of how the relative performance ratings were determined would be interesting.
And give away my secret sauce!!! :-)
@@GaryExplains - nah, just a general idea of the process. 🙂
This is the only RUclipsr that makes me feel like he truly knows what he is talking about. He's not just some charismatic dude that knows how to get fancy shots of new products. I always learn something each time I watch a video.
What! You mean I am not charismatic!!! 🤣
Exynos vs Snapdragon?
Great thing ever happen to Android authority is Gary Sims
Just curious to know what exactly Qualcomm tweaks the SOCs that they get from ARM.. Hope gary explains that 😬
Usually they just improve integer performance with expense of reduced floating point performance. That was SD835 days, though. No clear explanation I've found for SD845.
Yes.
Gary's middle name is dual
Nice to see a tech RUclipsr that knows more than me. Gary is my favourite RUclipsr right now joined the notification squad on Android Authority and Gary Explains.
I loved the explanation thanks Gary, you should talk about the range of Mediatek processors especially the latest releases that have made 👍🏼
Never visited the Gary Explains RUclips channel I see.
sir tell me something about the mediatek p60 soc
I guess you aren't a subscriber to the Gary Explains channel.
Party Pooper which phone have x30 chip
Actually from performance maintenance POV and battery life, P60 beats X30 by a quite significant margin. X series can be considered a failed design as none of its implementations are well balanced, while P series, starting with P20 forms a well balanced basis that they keep using to finally output a good SoC. The first significant leap is P60, with performance in between SD636 and SD660. First time it came out, it actually manages to put itself on par with SD660, but I have no idea why since Android 8 came out the performance keeps decreasing but not to SD636 level. It has more power efficient LPDDR4X RAM vs LPDDR4 on SD660, but in general consider battery life to be about similar (maybe some other factors in SD660 makes the whole SoC more power efficient).
Girish Hanchate 联发科p60？你可以扔了845or8150is the best cpu
吴一鸣 sd 8150 is not officially tested. How is the gpu performance, cpu performance? Who knows? Until now 845 is still best
Gary explains!!
Love it. ❤
Lemme explain
400 series - for budget/entry level mobiles
600 series - midrange mobiles
700 series ( only 1 processor till now ) - for midrange flagship phones
800 series - for flagship phones
Thank you
Learned few new things!!! Thanks Gary :)
gary pls do more videos regularly. you really explains well then any other RUclipsr.
If you want regular videos I suggest you subscribe to the Gary Explains channel, I release 2 or 3 a week there.
@@GaryExplains i have already subscribed there. but your content on Android authority is much better. no idea why!
Really, that is interesting, I can't see how... Unless of course you are mainly interested in mobile stuff which would mean that my other videos on programming, cameras, and industry opinion wouldn't interest you.
@@GaryExplains may be! any how thumbs up for your efforts 👍
One correction the SD 450 is build on 14nm
Thank you for explaining this! 👍🏻 I've always wondered what exactly it all meant!
Let me explain
i think 670 is still 4+4 cores as opposed to the previously rumoured 2+6 config
No. This is a quote from Qualcomm's press release: "Nestled in the Snapdragon 670 is the Kryo 360 CPU. Because it utilizes two performance cores (of up to 2.0GHz) and six efficiency cores (of up to 1.7GHz)"
right. thank you for clarifying. Appreciate it.
@@GaryExplains Gary against SD 660 which is gonna win means coz the SD 660 has higher clock speed than 670 2.2Ghz instead of 2.0Ghz and CPU setup was 4+4 design..... Pls answer Garry which one is the best... Thanks you for reply my comments.
I don't think it's the gap between transistor..it's length from drain to source length of a single transistor
Yup maybe by mistake he said that. But again distance between two transistors also matter.
Lol
Helpful video thanks for covering the topic these were always confusing to me before I watched your videos. Keep up the geeky videos.
What exactly is an architectural process like 14nm, 10nm etc?
I'm using SD 450 almost same with SD 625
It's the same, I think sd 450 is just the low bin SD 625
I thought the adreno gpu architecture was licenced from AMD. After all, if you rearrange the letters you get radeon...?
No AMD just buy the Qualcomm but actually to make it GPU the Qualcomm is do that.... Yes the name adreno GPU it come form amd Radeon Qualcomm is just rename that GPU from Radeon to adreno GPU design.... But to make the GPU like i said before Qualcomm actually if look carefully.... So we can say here Qualcomm has their own GPU itself.
Nice video. The chipsets are easy to understand but there GPU naming is wild. Sometimes a new number for a tiny bump and another time it's a huge leap. Eg 505, 506, 508, 512. 🤷
It’s funny that some of the most powerful and mainstream chips in smartphones are named after a flower
What's the difference between LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X RAM.
The X variant has better power efficiency.
Snapdragon 450 is built on 14 nm technology
Yeah I know.... Just little mistake here.....
Love your detailed and simple videos... Keep it up, Sir... 👍👍👍
As always, a simply well explained video. Thank you.
Glad that at the start of 2021 you don't need the highest end snapdragon to have a nice experience. Use to be the case a couple years ago. But even now there are 8 core snapdragon 400 chips.
*Good afternoon professor !*
*pyre pro!*
@@1MarkKeller *Mark !*
And how does Lumia 1020 had 41 mp camera with such an old SoC?
They definitely have the best LTE modems on SoC's.
By far
Qualcomm makes confusing model numbers on their processors.
Which is a faster processor A11 Bionic from apple or this one theSnapdragon 845...Gary SIr please explain
Very helpfull insight about Qualcomm👍👍
Very informative. Thank you, Gary!
isn't sd 710 better than sd 835??
And does sd 821 even stand a chance against today's midrange CPUs?I think it's quite underpowered acc to today's standards
Thank you Gary. Please do MediaTek chips on your next vid.
Keep up the good work!
I have a video covering MediaTek on the Gary Explains channel... I guess you aren't a subscriber!
I will make sure to subscribe and check it out Gary. Thanks again!
Hey GARY. Why Apple iPhone prossesors is faster than Qualcomm flagship Snapdragon prossesors
Firstly, Android OS is heavier than others mobile OS such as Windows Phone and iOS.
Second, snapdragon is focused more on features than the performance, as long as your phone can run smoothly, they don't need to tuned the processor too much for a phone
Third, a lot of apps can't adapt with the complexity of android, so the smoothness that your phone has deserve are 60% supported by the compatibilities of your phone in doing adaptation
Fourth, the thermal throttling in snapdragon SoC is the most aggressive one, once you reached up to 40°, the CPU will smartly tune the performance down in order to prevent overheating and battery draining. But you can also tuning up your CPU by changing the kernel
Fifth, snapdragon SoC is only use the base clock of CPU not the maximum potential of the CPU.
And more reason
Yeah, he actually has a video on whether iOS is more optimized than Android
Actually, gary has explained in video that went with tittle exactly that
Who is the best for phone ??
We ❤️ U Garr. Plz do comparison with A12 & S.Dragon 850?
This is very helpful information, thank you for posting
Is the higher the number the better it is?
why isn't this in Gary Explains?
thanks brother
I find Snapdragon, Intel and NVIDIA fairly easy to understand, in terms of naming convention. Someone please help in determining which is better when it comes to AMD CPU, AMD GPU, Mediatek, etc.
Sir....can I know which phone brand was the first to use a snapdragon??
What about snapdragon 808 processor?
Too old probably. That was flagship or close to it at one point.
Great video. As usual.
Man, The SnapDragon 460 is already Very Fast for a Low End Device like this RealMe C15 QualComm Edition, 4 / 64 GB Variant.
Mr. Sims , you're the only reason I haven't left this channel. I'm really sorry to say this ,but the other guys at AA are biased toward phone reviews.
On the wikipedia page it saids that the 450 is 14 nm while here it is 12 nm What?
Yes just a little mistake.... Lol
KVOLKOM... :) Gary the legend!
Some local manufacturers here have phones with Snapdragon 200 series...
In Snapdragon 845, the supported resolution mentioned here is 32 MP single or 16 MP dual. Now, the One plus 6, having the same processor, has dual cameras having 16 MP and 20 MP resolution. How is it possible?
Brilliant video!
You are best sir 🤗
Is the Snapdragon 2xx line out of order at this point? Also, is there a chart comparing the performance of ALL Snapdragon xxx processors ever released? I still have devices with the original S400 and I'm curious.
Funny that he didn't even mention them though. I swear they are also in some smartwatches and have been in multiple budget phones until very recently (until Mediatek made their lowend-chips so good they couldn't compete any more I guess).
Why is it "funny" that I didn't mention the 200 series? The 200 series is still 32-bit and certainly not mainstream when it comes to smartphones. I clearly say at 5:31 that Qualcomm has other processors as well.
Hi Gary, thank you so much for this new enlighting video. May I ask you to make a little bit more in-depth video on how should we evaluate the rank of a soc based on their "composition"? I mean: relying on the tech specs sheets that I find in Qualcomm official site, the 450 is basically a 625 with clock frequency reduced by 10% both on cores and on gpu, is it correct? I would be very pleased of your kind reply.
Did you watch my videos, one on Benchmarks and the other on Speed Tests over on the Gary Explains channel?
@@GaryExplains sure I did! I am referring exactly to this point: how can we judge processors not listed in your list? For example the difference between the 625 and the 630 is practically negligible, while the 636 has a totally different structure. They all belong to the 600 series but they are not all basically the same
Isn't it obvious? The 625 and the 630 have octa-core Cortex-A53 CPUs but the 636 has 4x Cortex-A73 and 4x Cortex-A53. So clearly the 636 is the better processor. Of course there is more to compare, but you get the idea.
Thanks for another amazing upload.
Amazing !!!
So I have a question. The snapdragon 400 series has the lowest power comsumption but does it mean that for 1 mA of current we get the most performance?
I have a question, so non-qualcomm SoCs can have qualcomm's cellular modems?
Is it a microprocessor or a microcontroller ?
Basically if you want a phone that can game confortably, make sure to get at least a phone with SD 665 or around there, but even in games like minecraft the framerate won't be locked at 60fps
Then the next level: SD 720 and 730, those are pretty good but you'll start to pay more for phones
If you are a rather compeitive gamer but don't want to spend too much then SD765G or 765 is best for you, in phones like OnePlus Nord.
Finally you get the best performance with 865, 855+, 865+ and other 800-series chips. 845 is probably still more powerful than 765G but the battery efficiency isn't really there.
SD439 (Samsung Galaxy A01) won't really do much, you can game a little but graphics have to be set to low, SD450 is a little better but not much
And yes Snapdragon 865 is better than Exynos 990
How much Better is The Snapdragon 665 Than the Snapdragon 450 for Gaming?
Qualcomm 0x804 0x805 what do this mean? Is it snapdragon 805?
Exynos still best when it comes battery life and life span
Snapdragon 460 vs 665, which is better?
@MBTM89 Much Better.
Proff i have question
What is LTE Cat? Whats the different with Modem in SOC?
The last phone I had was the ZTE maven 2 and it has a snapdragon 210
how about their power efficiency? do higher number series (8xx) consume more power because of higher performance cores used than lower number series (6xx and 4xx)? and how much the smaller nm process compensate the increase in power consumption?
hi Gary,after a long time...😁
thanks gary 👍
what does it mean when specs says: adreno 420 (700 mhz), what does the mhz means or stand for) for the GPU part... i dont get that
Uf, 12nm for 4xx processors... That's not true at all. Also you did forget to mention that 450 is not really a lower end processor and is doing perfectly fine job in quite expensive models like galaxy A6.
G O O D M O R N I N G P R O F E S S O R
As always fantastic video! It would be great to also make videos on MediaTek and AMD processors.
I cover most of the MediaTek processors in my "What is the Best Midrange Mobile Processor?" video on the Gary Explains channel.
So helpful video... 😊😊
Snapdragon 450 is based on 14 NM ,not 12 NM
Can you explain Andreno 308 gpu
Isn't SD 450 based on 14nm process? 11:34
gpu in sd820 is way superior than sd710 but sd710's cpu is significantly better than sd820
Qualcomm doesn't have 7nm yet, do they?
You can except the next generation flagship which succeeds the 845 to be on 7nm.
how about mediatek processors
Hi There
Can I Use your Videos In my youtube videos with mentioning Your Channel link?
Can you compare helio Processors and qualqum processors like SD845 vs Kirin 980 and other flagships like a12
I did already on the Gary Explains channel. I guess you aren't a subscriber.
I'm intrigued by Windows 10 running on an ARM processor. Shouldn't every single app that runs natively on Windows x86 be ported over to ARM architecture?
Unless a programme is written in cross-platform Java, you have to re-compile the code completely, with some laborious rewrites of the source code to be able to run on the same Windows 10 that until now ran exclusively on x86 processors.
There is also the question how well can a RISC processors handle heavy work loads and some complex computations used in certain professional applications.
All apps in the Windows app store are compiled for Arm and x86. Those outside the store can run under emulation where the x86 instructions are converted to Arm instructions. But it is slower. Lastly there is no reason why a RISC processor can't handle heavy workloads. Why would there be?
@@GaryExplains an ARM processor which is built for power efficiency will struggle with the kind of heavy work loads performed in professional desktop environments.
I believe Qualcomm are set to introduce a passively cooled CPU for a Windows 10 laptop, if I'm not mistaken.
The performance out of this chip should be about the performance level of Celeron CPUs from Intel, which do struggle under heavy work loads, with even some home application tasks.
My thoughts are that the ARM Windows 10 tablet/laptop will provide more or less the same kind of functionality expected from Android and iOS once more apps are ported to natively work on ARM.
Simply put, you can't expect a 3W CPU to perform as well as a 30W CPU.
I see. My confusion was that in your first comment you said an RISC processor. What you meant was a mobile processor. The Arm architecture itself and the Cortex designs can handle heavy workloads without any problem. But desktops processors have big fans and huge heatsinks, mobile processors don't. But you can build them that way if you want. For example there are several companies (including Qualcomm) who make Arm based processors for servers.
Yes, Qualcomm will be releasing a Snapdragon processor specifically designed for laptops (rather than just being a beefed up mobile processor). I have a video about it over on the Gary Explains channel.
Also, you might like to see my review of the Asus Flip C101 (as on the Gary Explains channel) as I show its relative performance to to some Intel based laptops. Overall Arm based Windows 10 laptops running Arm compiled programs have comparable performance to the equivalent Intel laptops.
@@GaryExplains Thank you for your time and for your excellent explanation!
You're one of the few RUclipsrs who actually takes the time to answer questions that arise in the comment section.
Yes, I do realise that RISC processors can now perform basically the same tasks that a CISC processor can, and with greater efficiency.
What I actually meant was a question to which target market does the ARM Windows 10 machine geared towards. I tried to stress that it is not very usable for the professional market in those circumstances where complex local hardware computations are in place.
Why does the Xioami Mi Mix2s (SD 845) only has Quick Charge 3.0 ?
Just OEM choose, you can choose up to QC 4+ bit you can also noto support if you want
SD 855=🌋🌋
Why 400 series have 12nm architech while 600 series have 14?
its depends on manufacturing process + A73 are costlier than A53 & A35, if its 14nm it maybe built on FinFET tech which is costlier and 12nm LPE is cheaper
Which one will be better? 12nm is better than 14 right?
@@Yathuprem 12nm is better for power efficient save the bt3 ok.
Greater The number Higher the Performance? Is snapdragon 810 Better than snapdragon 710?😁
600 and 700 series is for cheap nidrange
710 is better than old 810, you cant always compare to 3/4 years old soc
