Chipsets for consoles and mobile devices: which model is better?Modern high-performance devices are assembled on the basis of an SoC, or "system on a chip". The chipset houses not only the processor on a single board, but also components that ensure sound and image playback, orientation in space and Internet access.
ARM-based kernels are created by many well-known companies, which gives the user a wide choice. But which of the SoC models known today should you choose?
The most popular processors based on System-On-Chip solutions include products from the following companies:
These chipsets differ both in terms of characteristics and cost. It is absolutely impossible to say which of them is stronger or weaker, even after carrying out all existing tests. After all, in practice, each processor works in its own mode.
For example, Samsung chipsets have a fairly high clock speed and record performance. They are able to provide excellent speed even in heavy games, but they are quite expensive and are used only in certain models of gadgets.
The most widespread are Qualcomm processors. Although they do not achieve better results than the previous ones, the relatively low cost makes them more accessible to users.
Amlogic chipsets have the best price-to-performance ratio. Created on the basis of 64-bit architecture, they have the highest command execution speed, and the presence of 8 cores instead of 4 allowed for a significant increase in processor performance and expanded capabilities. To all the advantages of this model, one must add a quite acceptable cost.
The SoC from the Taiwanese manufacturer MediaTek is in many respects on par with the brands mentioned above. Its Helio chips also have two clusters of 4 cores, operating at different frequencies. But the main feature is the image processing module, which helped improve the energy efficiency and performance of the chipset.
Nvidia processors also have the right to qualify for the highest places in the ranking. The manufacturer's novelties have unrivaled capabilities in the field of video playback, thanks to which gadget owners can use the most resource-intensive applications.
But since buyers are interested in parameters such as performance, functionality and, importantly, price, we can confidently call Amlogic the market leader.
