With a bit of research, I have managed to discover that this chip (as HP does not manufacture processors) is in fact an AMD A8-6410 Beema processor with 6 Compute Cores (which means 4 actual CPU cores ( 2 CPU modules) and 2 " GPU cores"). No Intel, AMD, or anything else, just HP Hexa-core. They're sold at a rather high price, with ads praising the power and efficacity of the famous hexa-core. Apple on the other hand has focused on both the power and energy efficiency of their chips and have found a “perfect” intersection of performance and efficiency.During the last week, a bunch of new laptops from HP have appeared at various Future Shop and BestBuy stores, and they all have a mysterious "HP Hexa-core" branding. ARM has improved this setup every year since, and now are providing more capable chips on both the halves of the octa-core divide. A new architecture call the big.LITTLE architecture was released in 2011 where four low-power Cortex-A7 cores are coupled with four high-performance Cortex-A15 cores. Hence the low powered single core and multiple instances of them. So if the power of a core is increased, it would adversely affect the battery life.
Hecta core android#
Android chip makers still are creating chips that are power hungry. And the other factor is battery consumption. More cores is wrongly associated with better performance. So what the idea behind Android chip maker increasing core count? In my opinion, one factor is that they focused more on increasing the core count in the beginning even though it didn’t matter much because it sounds sexier.
Hecta core for android#
While the prime chip maker for Android “Snapdragon” has rolled out snapdragon 835, it’s flagship for Android phones with 8 cores, 4 running at 2.4 GHZ and the other 4 running at 3 GHZ, iPhone is just sticking to better performing 4 cores. Now it’s the same with the processor in the iPhone 7. The reason why the performance of the dual core processor in the iPhone 6 is better than most quad core and octa core Android phones of that time is because the processor chip in was the best mobile chip in the world at that time. Here, the amount of water you can carry at once is analogous to the average number of instructions executed per clock cycle.
Hecta core pro#
Another stupid but simple analogy is, if you need to transfer the water from one water tank to another water tank using buckets, how much water can you carry at once and how much water a pro body builder can carry at once. Simply stated IPC is “the average number of instructions executed for each clock cycle”. Some overlooked but more important aspect are memory bandwidth and ability to execute threads in a more efficient way.
For example, here’s the benchmark result of iPhone 6 with Samsung note 4 and HTC desire 820.ĭigging deeper we can find that the performance depends more on other factors than just core count and speed (frequency) of a processor chip. A simple and rather stupid but easy to understand analogy here, can two bodybuilders lift more or two skinny guys? It’s more or less the same thing. Simply speaking it’s not the core count that matters, but how much work can a single core do. So what defines the performance of a device is not core count?
From the above statements we can conclude that it’s not the core count that matter, or else Apple iPhones would not be near any the performance of any Android phones much less outperform them.
