hello there my name's Gary Sims from Andrew authority now one of the most important core designs for 2016 and beyond is the cortex a 72 and it's the core that's used inside the new Kirin 950 system on a chip so today and then we're looking at the performance of the cortex a 72 and the Mali t8 80 GPU that are inside the quirian 950 so if you're ready let's go the arm analysis is called it's a 72 back in 2015 and this design has three main goals first of all they wanted to bump the performance up to the next generation of 64-bit computing second they wanted to decrease the power usage increase the efficiency of the processor and thirdly they wanted to shrink its physical size on the die which of course helps manufacturing cost as well as several other things and now we have to cure it 950 our protists are built by high silicon which is a subsidiary of Huawei and we find it inside the main 8 and the cuing 950 is an octa-core processor it uses four cortex a53 calls now we're used for the court is 853 we've seen them in lots of phones last year but he said of court it's a 57 cause we now have cortex a 72 cause there are four court it's a 72 cores running at 2.3 gigahertz and then accompanying the CPU is the Mali t8 80 now I've taken the mate 8 and I've run lots of different benchmarks on it including some of the popular ones from the Play Store including antutu and 3dmark and so on and I've also used three of my own in-house developed benchmark which I wrote myself but can we can double check that the scores we're seeing on the external benchmarks are true to form so if you're ready let's start look at some of these results of course the first is Iran was and - - now I'm using an - - version six which has changed little bit from the previous version the numbers have changed how it does the calculations are a bit different however this particular device scored in ninety one thousand and eighty seven and that's the highest score I've ever seen from and - - now of course we need some context what does that mean where are other phones so I've also ran these tests on the Galaxy Note 5 and the Sony z5 compact the galaxy note5 has of course the external seven protists are in it and of course the sony has the Snapdragon 810 so that will give us an idea of where the how the performance has increased with this next generation of CPU so the scores for the Exynos 7420 in and - - version six were seventy seven thousand nine hundred and eighty nine and for the Sony it was seventy-six thousand four hundred and ninety-seven so obviously the 91 thousand and eighty seven of the Kirin 950 in the may take it quite a significant jump the next is Iran was CPU prime benchmark as you can guess from the name this program calculates prime numbers lots and lots of them and sees how long it takes and then gives out a score so the ki-rin 950 scored thirty one thousand one hundred eight compared to twenty two thousand eight hundred and sixty two from the note five and twenty thousand seven hundred seventy one from the Snapdragon 810 inside of the Sony is eight five Compaq and of course no CPU benchmarking would be complete without running Geekbench now Geekbench gives us two scores one which is the single core score which tells us how fast just a single core runs as amer with an eight core or quad core a ten core processor how fast is one individual core and of course then there is the multi-core score which tries to run all the core at the same time to see what scores it can achieve so let's have a look at those results for the single core test the keyring 950 scored 1772 and that compares to 1504 and 1385 by the X naught and the Snapdragon respectively so obviously that's quite a significant increase in CPU performance and for the multi-core we have 6089 by the queuing 950 5258 by the external seven and four thousand two hundred and ninety-five by the Snapdragon 810 so again now we see the multi-core score go up over six thousand so clearly the CPU in the Curie 950 is far faster than the pee-yew in the Snapdragon 810 and in the Exynos 7420 before we go on to look at the GPUs course doesn't remind you that all these numbers can be found over at the annual authority comm website there's a written companion that goes along with this video and there you'll see various tables in charge where you can see all the different scores for all the different benchmarks I've run against the m88 now it's a for the GPU first of all epics it's built the mate 8 is able to run epic to deal an ultra high quality mode at 59 frames per second well that's near perfection if we're talking about 60 frames per second being the maximum speed that these displays can handle and that compares to forty nine point two frames per second that's on the note five and fifty eight point five frames per second as on the contact Zed 5 of course we must remember the screen resolutions are different across all three phones for example the mate 8 is a full HD the resolution on the samsung galaxy note 5 is much much greater and of course it's much much lower on the 75 come back to just 720p I then ran 3dmark first of all I ran the slingshot demo and the scores are quite interesting the Huawei mate 8 scored 902 23 which actually is worse than the note 5 which called 1278 and worse than the Snapdragon 810 which scored 1168 so certainly it looked here as if there is some performance issues with the GPU in the kilian 950 is it software is it a bad implementation I don't know at this moment however I was expecting slightly higher scores than this so I then I ran the another test inside 3dmark this time the ice storm extreme which also include some off-screen rendering which hopefully levels the playing field when it comes to the different screen resolutions so let's have a look at those results the huawei mate s core 1926 and again that slower lower then the note 5 which called 25,000 and seventy three and the Snapdragon 810 in the z5 compact we've scored twenty seven thousand one hundred and sixty so again half of those three phones the GPU part of the curium 950 seems to be a little on the weak side and then get me wrong it's still a very good score it's a very very powerful implementation of this Molly T 880 GPU however I was expecting higher schools benchmarks are great however something closer to real life may be more interesting now normally we would run some tests for maybe game startup times for multitasking and so on however there are other things that affect those results including the speed of the flash memory and how much RAM there is inside of the device now I'm not testing the mate specifically I'm trying to get at the speed of its system on a chip so therefore if it's hard to run a couple of JavaScript tests now JavaScript is important of course klitz the engine that's in the web browser and web browsing activities we're always using javascript so in real they use we're always seeing how fast this javascript is and how it affects our web browsing experience now there are two benchmarks one by Mozilla which is called cracker and one by Google she could octane and I ran both of them to see what performance they get out of this particular system on a chip I'm using Chrome from the Play Store across all three devices the same version of Chrome so hopefully this will give us a good idea about some real-world performance numbers so here they are with Kraken the lower the score the better and the ki-rin 950 scores 3524 which compares to the 3753 of the external 7 and the 4253 of the Snapdragon 810 now with Google octane it is the higher scores are better and the qe9 50s cost ten thousand eight hundred and sixty eight while the external seven scores nine thousand one hundred and seventy four and the Snapdragon 810 nine thousand one hundred so we can see again when it come back to CPU uses that clearly the court is a seventy two inside of the keyring nine fifty is a really really good CPU as I said earlier I've written my own in-house benchmarks so that I can verify the results that we're getting from these external benchmarks I've got three benchmarks the first one just does some calculations it calculates primes he does some hashing he does some bubble thoughts and then it gives me a number which tells me how long it took to run all those tests so the lower the number the better the score I then have a 3d water simulation test which puts in drops of water into bucket there's some physics motion calculations that need to go on and basically one drop of water is putting every frame now at 60 frames per second the maximum number of water droplets that can go in is 5,400 and we'll have to see what the results are but I think you'll be quite surprised and then I've also got a 3d benchmark that I wrote in unity 3d it flies around a landscape and then tells me how many frames a second it scored so let's have a look at my results topher hashes bubble sort and prime numbers occur in 950 scored 19,000 and 74 really really low compared to the external seven which called thirty thousand three hundred and seventy and the Snapdragon 810 which scored twenty two thousand nine hundred and thirty seven so according to my benchmark again the court it's a 72 is an absolutely fantastic CPU core design now moving on to the water simulation as I said before 5400 is the maximum score you can get now I'll tell you the scores first of all for the note 5 and for the z5 compact the note 5 scored five thousand three hundred and forty nine and the was a five compacts worth 5222 so didn't see the note fire was all most areas about 51 frames that it dropped in the whole series of that test now here's the amazing news the Huawei may test the curing 915 the huawei mate s scored a perfect score of 5,400 it dropped no frames during my water simulation now that's absolutely brilliant but it also means I've got to write a new benchmark now because this one is not going to be any good this year because all the phones are probably going to break that 5,400 barrier so what's this space for the next iteration of my benchmark now finally I use my unity3d benchmark that I wrote and that gives me frames per second so here are the results the huawei mate s managed to do three thousand five hundred and forty three total frames during the simulation which gave us a frame rate of 22 point eight three frames per second now the note 5 scored three thousand four hundred and thirty two total frames during the exercise which was a frame of twenty one point four eight frames per second and then the z5 compact had four thousand eight hundred total frames and a FPS of forty-two point two two and as we can see the Sonia's a five comma had the best score in this test and that's mainly due to its 720p display although the mate 8 actually ran faster than the note 5 in this particular test me to remember that the mate hate has a full HD display where's the display on the note 5 is much much greater and I'm sure if they both have the same displays we would find that their keyring 950 was actually underperforming when compared to the Exynos 7420 and so what does all this mean well basically the court is a 72 is basically the fastest core design that I have seen in a hand royde phone so far now of course there's lots of competition coming down the pipeline we've got the Snapdragon 820 we've got the new processors from Samsung so we're gonna have to see how this chip compares with some of the others later on in the year when they become available however today this is the fastest CPU that I have seen on an Android device also the Mali 880 GPU doesn't seem to be performing quite as well in the quirian 950 that might need some further investigation however is still a very powerful GPU well my name is Gary sim from Andrew Authority and I hope you enjoyed this video if you did please do give it a thumbs up also please use the comments below tell me what you think about the cortex a7 - design what do you think about the keyring 950 what do you think about the huawei mate s I'd be really interested to hear your opinions also don't forget to subscribe to handle authorities YouTube channel and as for me I'm there see you in my next video you might think making videos is easy well you know about the old red lorry yellow lorry red lorry yellow lorry we'll try saying cortex a53 quarters 1872 called as a fifty three quarters a 72 quarters a fifty three quarters eighty seventy two court it's a fifty seven quarters a fifty three quarters a seventy two not that easy you know
