How fast is the Snapdragon 845? - Gary explains

2018-02-11
hello that I'm guessing from Andrew authority now last year Qualcomm took the wraps off the Snapdragon 845 its newest flagship processor and we were there at the launch event and we've got a couple of videos here on our channel about the new 8/4 I'm particular I've got a whole in-depth look about the internals of the April 5 and even I'll link to that just up here but now we've had a chance to actually do some performance testing using a Qualcomm reference device so if you want to know how fast is the Snapdragon 845 please let me explain ok so a few of my colleagues have been down to call calm and they've been looking at a whole bunch of things that call con we're doing including in the area of 5g but while they were there they also got a chance to play with the Snapdragon 805 built into a quorum reference device and there's reference device is basically a smartphone that Qualcomm make for their own testing also they share that with their partners to help them build the next generation or the smartphone so this particular device comes with a Snapdragon 845 he's also got 60 gigabytes of RAM and of course in the 845 is the Adreno 630 GPU now while they were there they were able to run some benchmarks like antutu and geek bench and so on and we've rerun our tests on some current devices so that we can have a comparison between the phones that are coming in 2018 and what we had from the best of 2017 so devices with tested against our the HTC you 11 plus the picture too from Google the note 8 from Samsung the LG v 30 plus and of course the mate 10 Pro from Huawei now three of those devices are running the Snapdragon 835 which of course is last year's flagship processor from core concepts the HTC v LG and the pixel 2 from Google and then inside the notates you've got the X naught 8 8 9 v from Samsung and inside the mate 10 Pro you've got the Kirin 970 which of course has got the four cortex a53 calls McFaul cortex a7 t3 calls along with a Mali g72 GPU so try to get the best scoring we can we've run the test multiple times on each device and we've taken the average score that we managed to get during those series of test runs so without further ado let's dive in and see what we can find out about the Snapdragon 805 so our first test is antutu and you can see here that the winner of the last year's devices is the mate ten pro with two hundred and twelve thousand eight hundred and fifty three now let's add in the score for the Snapdragon 845 and there you see 256 thousand eight hundred and five now that's a 20% increase in the antutu scores compared to the best phone of 2017 so next up is the geek page for scores now the geek pitch scores are in two parts first of a single core score which tells you how fast a single core the fastest core inside the processor can run and then you've got the multi-core score which tells you what happened when it uses all the cause in a multi-threaded application and they're all going as fast as they can what kind of speed can be achieved so let's look at last year's phones so from last year the fastest single core score was from they mate eight with 2019 and the fastest multi-core processor was the ki-rin 970 in the make ten with six thousand seven hundred and eighty seven now let's add in the Snapdragon 845 scores and there we can see that the single core score has gone up to two thousand four hundred and thirty nine that's a 20% increase over last year's note eight with the Exynos 88-90 five and four the multi-core score we've now gone over eight thousand six thousand seven hundred eight and seven before past seven thousand up into eight thousand eight thousand two hundred another twenty percent increase on the overall scores so I think you'll agree me 20 percent here across and two two and the two geek fate schools is a really promising start for the Snapdragon 845 now next up we've run some tests using GFX bench which is a predominantly 3d test which of course will really strain the new adrene six-thirty GPU it's just worth noting that all these tests are actually going to be off-screen tests that means the GPU is doing all the work it needs to do but it's not actually output to the screen in the end and that saves there any discrepancies because of different screen resolutions but it gives us a very good idea about the power of the GPU behind the screen so we start with the t-rex off screen test and the note eight scored the best score last year with a hundred and six frames per second and now here we can see the Snapdragon 845 manages a hundred and fifty-one frames a second that's a 42% increase in raw GPU power next up is the car chase test also from GFX bench last year's winner was the note eight to 25 frames a second and now the Snapdragon 845 can manage 35 frames a second so that's another 40 percent increase in the GPU and our final GFX bench test comes in the form of the Manhattan tests that are built into that test suite all running at full HD we've got two tests here some using OpenGL ES 3.0 on and some using OpenGL ES 3.0 and lastly the winner for OpenGL ES 3.0 and 3.1 again was the note eight with the Exynos 88-90 5 which of course has got the Molly G 71g per unit a 20 core Marlee g71 GPU in it and it's got 55 frames a second on the 3.0 test 42 frames a second on the 3.1 test but now look at the Snapdragon 805 results with the new Adreno GPU in it we've got 83 frames a second on the ES 3.0 scores and 61 frames a second on the ES 3.1 score so that's a 50% and 45% increase across the board so here we're dealing with some very very impressive speed increases in the GPU so the new G you the Adreno 630 is definitely proving to be the GPU to beat for 2018 and finally to round things off we've ran the jet stream JavaScript benchmark which you've run inside the chrome app on the phone of course the Qualcomm Snapdragon device a reference device was running was running Android last year's winner actually for the jet stream javascript test was the HTC u 11 plus with a score of 62 point three one and now this year the Qualcomm reference device made an eighty five point nine nine which is a thirty eight percent increase compared to last year now if you take all those scores and kind of do an average across all of the phones from last year because in some cases to make ten one in some cases are no eight one in some cases the UT for the HTC One and so when we've taken an average of all those what we've worked out is that the snapdragon 845 on average is 33 or 34 percent faster than last year's phones so of course we've got some big flagship devices coming up this year which should be running for snapdragon 845 and i think we're gonna see some very impressive performance numbers from these devices and this is only the reference device from Qualcomm so will be really great to see what the OEMs can do with their devices so I'm really pumped about this it could be great to see what we get from 2018 to smartphones well I'm Gary sim for Android I really hope you enjoyed this video if you did please do give it a thumbs up it's really good if you could subscribe to our Channel hit that
