What does Snapdragon 845 mean by excess performance?

The so-called Snapdragon 845 chip's excess performance depends on who said it. If consumers say that the performance of Snapdragon 845 chip is excessive, it means that the performance of the chip is too strong for most people to use at all. For example, many people buy Snapdragon 845 or 855, a top-performance mobile phone, for the sake of smoother use, but if it is only used to watch videos online, it is probably no different from Snapdragon 660. Very smooth, which is equivalent to wasting the performance of Snapdragon 845 and spending more money. However, if you often play a variety of large-scale mobile games, the GPU performance of Snapdragon 845 is indeed much better than other low-end chips.

If the mobile phone manufacturers say that Snapdragon 845 has excessive performance, it is probably a marketing strategy. For example, in the past two years, the processors of high-end models of OPPO and VIVO are not good, but the prices are more expensive than those of Snapdragon 845 models of other brands. One of the publicity strategies may be that the Snapdragon 845 has excessive performance, so it is better to spend more money on the improvement of the camera, battery life and appearance that users need more, which is also an excuse for mobile phone promotion.

Because mobile phones don't need to be productivity tools like computers, and mobile phone chips have developed too fast in recent years, there are indeed high-end chips like Snapdragon 845 in many cases, but we can't just look at the excess performance of CPU and GPU. High-end chips also have better network baseband and support faster fast charging technology and camera pixels. Some people may choose the Snapdragon 845 model just for better camera performance, and with the continuous upgrading of the system and app, the performance of the Snapdragon 845 will be available one day.

Overacting is a joke. Compare the current cpu configuration of pc. Qualcomm processors are temporarily ineligible for Intel and NVIDIA. The future development of mobile phones is definitely that the performance is getting closer to PC. You can enjoy PC-level game masterpieces and handle more things on your mobile phone. The current performance is far from enough. Only when the hardware is constantly improved can the software be continuously upgraded and optimized, thus bringing a better user experience. The current processor performance is far from enough. The performance upgrade from 845 to 855 is not particularly large. This is not an excess of performance, but a bottleneck in the development of hardware upgrades. It is not that users have no demand, but that there is no qualitative leap in hardware upgrade. I believe that in the near future, the performance of mobile phones will definitely make a qualitative leap, and the user experience will also be by going up one flight of stairs.

Overcapacity is actually a false concept.

Simply put, it is not appropriate to talk about performance without considering the requirements. For the vast majority of mobile phone users, the mainstream demand is still the use of daily apps and some game apps. In this case, Snapdragon 7 10 is enough, even for some people who just browse the web and don't even use shopping apps, Snapdragon 625 is enough. But not for game users. Obviously, Snapdragon 845 is not over-performance, nor are the newer Snapdragon 855, Kirin 980 and even Apple's A 12 processors.

For example, Huawei's latest MateBook e is a 2-in-1 tablet laptop with Snapdragon 850 as the processor. Obviously, this processor can't do too many tasks, and can only meet simple office needs.

Civilization series games have also been put on the Apple application market. As Apple's strongest iPad PRO at present, it can be clearly seen that the computing power is insufficient when the running civilization reaches a certain round. Not only is the computer hot, but the time of each round is also greatly extended.

Therefore, Snapdragon 845 is obviously not over-performance, but even Snapdragon 7 10 can meet the demand for users who don't have such high demand. Most midrange machines released this year still use Qualcomm SOCs such as Snapdragon 730, but this SoC locates the midrange and its comprehensive performance is still close to Snapdragon 845. This is why iQoneo uses Qualcomm's flagship chip Snapdragon 845 as the SOC.

It can be seen that there is still a big gap between the comprehensive performance of Snapdragon 730 and that of Snapdragon 845, which is of course an important reason why many people mention that Snapdragon 845 has excessive performance. After all, all new midrange machines are still using chips that are not as good as Snapdragon 845.

I always find it strange that Snapdragon's flagship processors are all described as "over-performance", while Apple's processors have never been labeled as "over-performance". It can be seen that the so-called "excessive performance" seems to be different from relatives.

Why is the Opteron processor labeled as "over-performance"? Let's make an analogy. Xiaolong 845 processor has satisfied all the game models of Android phones on the market at the beginning of its release, and the processor is easy to take! After waiting for a year, we found that Snapdragon 845 was still so smooth. For some people, the Snapdragon 845 is just over-performing.

The performance of the processor used now has exceeded our demand for mobile phones, even far greater than the demand. Turn on the processor and play games easily. Snapdragon 845' s performance may be only 50%, and 50% is useless!

So, is Snapdragon 845 really over-performing? I think it depends on the specific situation:

Excess performance is actually determined according to the usage of different consumers, and this issue cannot be discussed simply and arbitrarily.

Overperformance means that during the product life cycle, most users will not feel the problem of insufficient performance, right? It is the end of 20021,and Snapdragon 845 was released on February 20 17. Manufactured by Samsung 10nm process, 8-core CPU design. Specifically, it consists of four A75 cores and four A55 small cores, in which the A75 core frequency is 2.8GHz and the A55 core frequency is 65438.

At present, the CPU of Snapdragon 845 is at the entry level, but as the flagship SOC of that year, its GPU performance is still good. Ann Bunny's GPU score is still 15W+, which is equivalent to the current GPU score of 778G of the mid-range chip Snapdragon. Therefore, it is no problem for Snapdragon 845 to play those entry-level SoCs, and from the actual experience, Snapdragon 845 has no pressure to cope with the current daily applications.

Therefore, from this point of view, Snapdragon 845 does not have much excess performance. After all, it has been nearly four years since Snapdragon 845 was released, and there is a new generation of mobile phones every year. Many mobile phones that used Snapdragon 845 have been retired. During the life cycle of these machines, Snapdragon 845 has no obvious problem of insufficient performance. Of course, this is for everyday applications and those relatively ordinary games.

If you want to switch to an original God-level game, they demand high performance, and the flagship chip of the same period can't be said to be super-performance, then from this point of view, there is no super-performance processor, just like on a computer, most gamers won't agree if you say that the graphics card is super-performance, and those productivity users may object if you say that the CPU is super-performance, so if you don't set a good standard, you will never be super-performance.

In short, personally, if your replacement cycle is about 2 years and there are not many high-load tasks in daily use, then the current flagship SOC can be said to be over-performance. You can choose a mid-range football. In fact, the grade of the current mobile phone is not determined by SOC, and there are more powerful and balanced products in these performance machines, such as various flagship machine.

Overperformance is just an excuse for some mobile phone manufacturers to cut corners for themselves. Of course, some manufacturers use cheap processors, even if the photosensitive elements such as ddr are all cutting corners.

The 845 has excess performance. Where is Apple? With the continuous update, the performance requirements of mobile game applications are getting higher and higher. High performance is meaningless, that is, it runs faster, more stably and longer, and the baseband is higher without support.

So where is the excess performance theory? Is the speaker making excuses for cutting corners or trying to stop the development of science and technology?

Look at the demand. If you just read a novel, make a phone call. Absolute surplus, waste of resources! If you play games, hehehe!

There is no unnecessary performance before miui 12.5, as long as it gets stuck, but you have to downgrade to MIUI 8/9/10/1. It's okay. It's really smooth.

Depending on the demand, you can play Weibo's game, and there may be a real surplus. If you play big games, it is not enough to eat chicken.

The improvement of hardware performance is quickly consumed by software.

The development of hardware can never catch up with the development of software, especially in China. Many softwares like configuration very much. Now, to some extent, hardware restricts the development of software, or software promotes the upgrade of hardware. Secondly, the theory of "over-performance" is a false proposition.

In the future, the popularity of VR, AR, AI application games and the application of mobile blockchain technology will raise the performance requirements of mobile phones to a higher level. Games and applications will only require higher and higher performance. So the pursuit of performance is endless.
