Ranking of mainstream mobile phone chip performance, see which one can satisfy you

When buying a mobile phone, the performance of the mobile phone is also a major point to pay attention to. The performance of the mobile phone will affect the fluency, gaming experience, etc. Among them, the performance of the mobile phone chip plays a decisive role. At present, there are many chips used in 5G mobile phones. Let's take a look at the performance of mainstream 5G mobile phone chips, which can serve as a reference for purchasing a mobile phone.

【Performance First】

It is not difficult to see from the mobile phone SoC performance list released by AnTuTu in the first half of 2020 that Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, Dimensity 1000+, and Kirin 990 5G are the top three chips in Android phones. In terms of running points, Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 has the strongest overall performance, followed by Dimensity 1000+ and Kirin 990 5G. These three are flagship chips that are currently used by mainstream Android flagship phones and can provide strong performance support.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 865

Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 is manufactured using a 7nm process and uses a Kryo 585 CPU, which is an eight-core combination of four A77s and four A55s. The main frequency can reach up to 2.84GHz, and it is equipped with an Adreno 650 GPU and an integrated fifth-generation AI engine to provide strong performance support. The AnTuTu running score of mobile phones equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 is basically close to 600,000 points, and the overall strength is strong. However, this chip needs to be used with the X55 baseband to support 5G.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Commemorative Edition plays "Peace Elite" with full special effects

Recently launched models such as Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Commemorative Edition, iQOO 5, OnePlus 8 Pro, and OPPO Find X2 Pro all use Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chips. It is easy to play games such as "Honor of Kings" and "Game for Peace" with full special effects without any pressure. Even games with higher performance requirements such as "Honkai Impact 3" and "Mountains of Light" can be handled more calmly. If you have a more extreme demand for performance, you can also consider a phone equipped with Snapdragon 865 Plus, which will improve the chip performance by about 10%.

Dimensity 1000+

The Dimensity 1000+ also uses a 7nm process. The CPU is an octa-core architecture with 4 A77 + 4 A55, with a maximum frequency of 2.6GHz, and the GPU is Mali-G77. The Dimensity 1000+ is also equipped with a 6-core independent APU3.0 to improve AI computing power. The Dimensity 1000+ integrates a 5G baseband and supports dual-mode 5G. The AnTuTu comprehensive score of the model equipped with this chip is around 500,000.

Redmi K30 Extreme Commemorative Edition Game for Peace frame rate

Both the Redmi K30 Extreme Commemorative Edition and iQOO Z1 are equipped with the Dimensity 1000+ chip. According to tests, the Redmi K30 Extreme Commemorative Edition can maintain an average frame rate of 59 frames when playing "Peace Elite" with full special effects, and the smoothness is also very good.

Kirin 990 5G

Kirin 990 5G adopts the more advanced 7nm+EUV process. The CPU part is an eight-core combination of 4 A76 + 4 A55, with a maximum frequency of 2.86GHz, equipped with a 16-core Mali-G76 GPU, and a built-in NPU. Kirin 990 5G integrates a 5G baseband and can provide excellent 5G network support. The AnTuTu comprehensive running score of the Kirin 990 5G model is also around 500,000 points.

Honor 30 Pro+ game test

Some Huawei phones, such as Honor 30 Pro+ and Huawei P40 series, are equipped with Kirin 990 5G chips. According to actual tests, Honor 30 Pro+ can maintain good fluency when playing the two games "Honor of Kings" and "Peace Elite", and the body temperature is also well controlled. After 30 minutes, the maximum temperature of the body is only 36.3 degrees, and the grip feel is also excellent. Even when playing "Peace Elite" under HDR HD + extreme frame rate settings, it can maintain an average frame rate of 59 frames, and the frame rate fluctuation is very small.

If you are a mobile game player who pays great attention to game graphics, smoothness and other details, then you need to choose a flagship chip when purchasing. Only strong performance support can guarantee the gaming experience. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, Dimensity 1000+, and Kirin 990 5G mentioned above all have excellent hardware performance, which is also the performance level of the first echelon at present.

[Mid-range choice]

Judging from the running points, Kirin 820 has the strongest overall strength, followed by Dimensity 800 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. These three are the current mainstream mid-range chips, and many mid-range mobile phones use these three chips.

Kirin 820

Kirin 820 adopts 7nm process technology, with 4 A76 + 4 A55 eight-core combination, and the highest frequency is 2.36GHz. Kirin 820 integrates 5G baseband and can support dual-mode 5G. Models equipped with Kirin 820 can reach 380,000 points in AnTuTu running, which is very impressive for mid-range chips.

Honor X10, Honor 30S and other mobile phones all use Kirin 820 chips. Kirin 820's excellent performance can easily cope with mainstream online games, such as "Honor of Kings" and "Peace Elite". Among them, "Peace Elite" can still guarantee a relatively stable frame rate when HDR high-definition image quality + extreme frame rate settings are turned on, and the actual gaming experience is excellent. Of course, in some games with more demanding performance requirements, there is no flagship chip experience.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G

Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G can be said to be a star chip for mid-range 5G mobile phones. It adopts 7nm process technology, and the CPU part is an eight-core combination of 2 A76 + 6 A55, with a maximum frequency of 2.4GHz. It is equipped with Adreno 620 GPU. The AnTuTu running score of the Snapdragon 765G mobile phone can reach 340,000 points.

OPPO Reno4 gaming test

OPPO Reno4 series, vivo X50 Pro, Xiaomi 10 Youth Edition 5G and other mobile phones are equipped with Snapdragon 765G chips. According to actual tests, OPPO Reno4 can maintain an average frame rate of 58 frames when playing "Peace Elite" under the picture settings of smooth picture quality + extreme frame rate, and has good fluency. If HDR high-definition picture quality + extreme frame rate is turned on, the frame rate fluctuation throughout the game will be relatively large, and the fluency will not be so good. Under the default picture quality, Snapdragon 765G can easily cope with games such as "Honor of Kings" and "Peace Elite".

Dimensity 800

The Dimensity 800 uses a 7nm process. The CPU is an octa-core design with 4 A76 large cores + 4 A55 small cores. The GPU uses Mali G57 MC4 and has a built-in APU3.0, which can provide excellent AI computing power. This chip integrates a 5G baseband and can support dual-mode 5G.

Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro, OPPO A92s, and Honor X10 Max all use the Dimensity 800 chip. In the test of Honor X10 Max playing "Peace Elite", under the smooth + extreme frame rate settings, the average frame rate can reach 59 frames, and the game fluctuates little throughout the whole process, which is very smooth. Under the HDR high-definition + extreme frame rate settings, the frame rate fluctuation is much larger, which will affect the gaming experience to a certain extent.

summary

The above mentioned are the most common 5G Android mobile phone chips. If you have enough budget, you can directly choose mobile phones equipped with flagship chips such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 and Kirin 990, which can not only bring excellent daily use experience, but also more extreme gaming experience. Of course, the actual gaming experience will also be related to the heat dissipation capacity of the mobile phone, software optimization and other aspects, which are also worth paying attention to when purchasing, but chip performance is the basic guarantee, so you must first choose the right chip.

For ordinary users, if the budget is not sufficient or the requirements for games are not high, then choosing a mid-range chip can also get good performance support. The mid-range chips mentioned above, such as Kirin 820 and Snapdragon 765G, can already guarantee excellent fluency, so there is no need to worry about fluency issues. Mid-range chips can also meet most online game needs, but they will be slightly insufficient in the game part. When purchasing, just choose according to your budget and needs.
