Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 vs Apple a12 Bionic vs Hisilicon Kirin 980 || Compared 🔥

Описание: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 platform uses eight cores, arranged in a tri-cluster configuration. All the cores used here are Qualcomm's latest generation of the Kryo cores, which actually feature a semi-custom design, taking reference from existing design from ARM's cores. In the three-cluster arrangement, the first cluster uses four Kryo 485 'silver' cores, based on older ARM Cortex-A55 cores at the peak speed of 1.8GHz. These are aimed at taking care of all the regular, mundane operations. The second cluster uses three Kryo 485 'gold' cores, which are based on ARM's latest generation Cortex-A76 cores, and are clocked at up to 2.42GHz. This cluster will be used in slightly more intensive tasks such as casual gaming, or aid heavy AI applications. The third cluster, interestingly, comprises a single core — one Kryo 485 'prime' core, with its peak clock speed unlocked till 2.84GHz. It is, as is obvious, a specialised core for very heavy resource-consuming tasks.The tri-cluster processor is based on TSMC's 7nm FinFET manufacturing process, which increases transistor density in a processor. The result is a 45 percent increase in performance over the Snapdragon 845. The core processing assembly is supported by the Adreno 640 GPU, which reportedly renders 20 percent faster graphics than the Adreno 630 GPU. In terms of AnTuTu performance benchmarks, the Snapdragon 855 is said to have breached the 360,000 points mark, and set a new record in terms of performance and speed.

Apple A12 Bionic
The Apple A12 Bionic SoC is a hexa-core, dual-cluster processing platform that was launched with the iPhone XS, XS Max and iPhone XR on September 12th, 2018. It is also the only of the four processors here to have two clusters (all of the rest have three), and has the least number of cores. In terms of cores, it follows a similar architecture as last year's A11 Bionic, using two, high-performance Vortex cores with a peak clock speed of 2.5GHz, which the company also claims offers increased performance by 15 percent, and efficiency by a more sizeable 40 percent. The other four Tempest cores are 50 percent more efficient than before, and are clocked at 1.6GHz. AnTuTu benchmark scores rank Apple's SoC to be as fast as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, with very minimal differences between the two.This is further complemented by two elements — Apple's custom, quad-core GPU and an octa-core neural processing unit (NPU), both acting as active co-processors to share processing load with the main CPU. Importantly, all six of the CPU's cores cannot work at the same time. The GPU is custom-built by Apple, and is reportedly 50 percent faster than the previous-gen graphics unit, which provides a sizeable jump in terms of graphics processing. It also provides features such as multi-layer rendering and lossless memory compression. Essentially, instead of presenting the A12 Bionic as a package, Apple has distributed the workload among separate sections of the processor. For instance, all AI and ML-related operations are handled by the NPU, which is discussed in the subsequent section.

HiSilicon Kirin 980
The Kirin 980 was technically the very first to have launched with TSMC's 7nm FinFET process. As such, it also became the first in the world to use a Cortex-A76 core, the newest member in ARM's arsenal, and also pushed the connectivity barrier (although that has already been undone). The Kirin 980 works in a 2+2+4 architecture that is actually closer to the Snapdragon 855's configuration, than that of the Exynos 9820. The two 'big' cores utilise A76 cores with the clock speed of 2.6GHz, while two more A76 cores have been put in place (at the risk of taking up more space in the die) to handle medium-intensity tasks, and are clocked at 1.92GHz. The four ‘little' cores here use Cortex-A55 cores and run at 1.8GHz clock speed, and use ARM's latest DynamIQ CPU controller. This has allowed HiSilicon to effectively tweak throughputs, thereby being better at efficiency and power management than before. AnTuTu scores peg it at around 310,000
