Every day Android smartphones are getting more sophisticated and can perform various activities, such as listening to music, connecting to the internet, playing games, or even doing several activities at the same time. This is inseparable from the function and work of the processor. Therefore, the processor is one of the important points that must be considered when choosing and buying a smartphone.
The processor is a device on an Android smartphone that functions as the brain that will control the performance of the smartphone. The processor will perform calculations and perform or execute commands given by the user. Processor functions include:
Perform mathematical calculations to run a series of processes
Moving data to memory
Processing input data in the form of commands from the mouse, or keyboard to produce certain outputs
The processor will work better and faster if the clockspeed is faster. Clockspeed is a measure of the speed of the processor to process data or information. Processor clockspeed varies, ranging from MHz to GHz which works super fast. Even so, processor speed is not the main determining factor.
Processor performance is also determined by the overall performance of the processor and the technology used. For example, certain processors have higher clockspeeds and cores, compared to Intel processors. Intel processors will still have better performance, even though the clockspeed and cores are lower. This is because the technology carried by Intel is in the form of hyperthread technology, which allows dual core processors to have a Quadcore processor.
Based on the number of cores or cores owned, the processor consists of single core, dual core, quad core, and octa core. Single core indicates that the processor uses a single core or core. This type of processor has less power consumption and does not get hot easily, but has the ability to process slower. Dual core processors have two cores, while quad cores have four cores. Octa core has 8 processor cores.
The Best Processor Orders Include:
- Snapdragon
Snapdragon is the best Android processor used in various Android smartphone manufacturers. This processor is a Qualcomm production which is already known as a processor manufacturer that is believed to be the best. Armed with a fast clockspeed and a higher number of cores, Snapdragon has super fast performance.
This processor also supports a high-quality and stunning graphic display as well as a more durable and efficient battery usage. But unfortunately, on certain smartphones, Snapdragon’s fast performance actually causes the smartphone to heat up easily. Some of the Snapdragon series that have been launched and used on smartphones are:
Series 200. It is a Snapdragon series built to achieve maximum performance. Series 200 is also easily accessible.
Series 400. Is a series designed to support various smartphone features, such as HD video playback features, to high-resolution cameras.
600 Series. It is a mid-range Snapdragon series that supports 4G LTE connectivity and HD video
800 series. It is a Snapdragon series that has good performance with support for 4G LTE connectivity and ultra HD video. This series also allows for more efficient use of battery power.
Is Snapdragon 835, which is a new breakthrough produced by Qualcomm. Carrying a nanoscale design, Snapdragon is 35% smaller but is expected to be able to deliver better performance. Snapdragon 835 is also claimed to have 25% less power consumption than the previous design. This processor can meet graphics needs with 25% faster, and has 60 times more color display. In terms of sound, this processor supports 3D positional audio, superior SNR, and DSD formats. The technology used allows the playback of sound with even better quality.
- Exynos
Exynos is a processor manufacturer Samsung Electronics. This ginseng country processor is indeed more widely used on Android smartphones made by Samsung itself. However, there are also other smartphones that also use it, such as the Meizu, for example. Exynos is made with a System on Chip (SoC) to facilitate smartphone work. In addition, Exynos also supports smartphones for games and good graphics.
Exynos was first used on the Samsung Galaxy S. The series used at that time was the Exynos 3 single or Exynos 3110. The Exynos 3110 was equipped with a single core 1.0 GHz – 1.2 GHz CPU, as well as a Power VR SGX 540 GPU. This processor was continuously developed to produce several series such as Exynos 4 Quad, Exynos 5 Dual, Exynos 5 Hexa, Exynos 5 Octa. The latest Exynos processor is the Exynos 8895. This latest Exynos is used in the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
- Intel
Intel is one type of processor that is well known by the wider community as a processor in computers. In addition to computers, Intel has also started to enliven the processor market on Android smartphones by presenting the Intel Atom Z2460 processor with a speed of 1.6 GHz.
This processor was launched in 2012 and is integrated with a number of other components in the Xolo X900 Android smartphone. Intel is also used in the Lenovo K900 Android smartphone as well as the Asus Zenfone. Intel has several advantages, including:
Has thread technology that allows processors that have Dual cores like having Quad cores.
There is a temperature setting on the processor. If the temperature is too hot, the processor will reduce the working speed.
Can improve processor performance by increasing core speed according to usage needs.
However, Intel also has weaknesses such as in the graphics section for displaying three-dimensional graphics and gaming.
- MediaTek
MediaTek is a processor made by the manufacturer of the same name, mediaTek or also known as MTK. This processor from Taiwan, was not well known at first. However, as technology advances are adapted, MediaTek is currently one of the processors used by major smartphone vendors. MediaTek can be lined up with Snapdragon as well as Exynos.
As a processor manufacturer, MediaTek prioritizes the production of processors with more loading. In addition to having performance that should not be doubted, MediaTek also has a relatively cheap price. MediaTek has produced various series of processors, some of which are:
The MT6575 series is a single core processor supported by the PowerVRSGX531 GPU, used in the LG optimus.
Dual core processors consist of several series such as the MT6572 combined with the Mali 400MP1 GPU, and the MT6572M, which is also combined with the Mali 400MP1 GPU.
Quad core processor. The quad core processor consists of several types of processors, namely MT6589 / MT6588 with a combination of GPU PowerVR SGX544MP, MT6589T with a combination of the same GPU but with a higher speed, MT6582 with a combination of GPU Mali 400MP2, MT6588 combined with GPU Mali 450MP4, can have speeds up to 1.7 GHz. This processor is widely used in Android smartphones Advan, Gionee, Coolpad, HTC Desire, Huawei, Lenovo, Alcatel, as well as several series Oppo and LG.
The Hexa core processor in the MT6591 series is combined with a Mali 450MP4 GPU with a speed of 1.5 GHz. One smartphone that uses it is the Gionee Gpad G5.
The Octa core processor consists of the MT6592 series which can reach speeds of 2 GHz, with a combination of Mali 450MP4 GPU, MT6595 series, MT6595M and MT6595 Turbo with PowerVR 6200 GPU.
Deca core processor. This type of processor is a deca core processor that is combined from several dual cores, or quad cores. Some of these processor series are MT6797 or known as Helio X20 which is combined with Mali T880 GPU. MT6797T or Helio X25 which is also combined with the Mali T880 GPU. MT6797X or Helio X27 with a Mali T880 GPU blend. The MT 6799 or Helio X30 known as Helio X30 is combined with the Power VR 7XTP GPU. Some smartphones that use MediaTek’s Helio processor are Meizu, Xiaomi Redmi, Doogee, and several smartphone brands that are not marketed in Indonesia.
