One thing that must be taking in consideration, is the fact that yes, you might have the best hardware, money can buy

but mark my words, if the software that runs ontop of the hardware is full of bugs and not acting right, Lads, you are not

going to enjoy the beastly hardware that you have. It is what it is.

these are the best and most powerful RISC chips in the world

1) apple's A series
2)Samsung Exynos
3)huawei's Kirin
4) Qualcomm Snapdragon
5)mediatek chips



note that AMD and INTEL aren't on my list cos they are x86/CISC chips
Snapdragon is only bettered by Apple's Bionic chipset, Kirin and Exynos are behind.

Whizkidjay7:
Well, Inorder to find out which chipset is
better among the three chipsets, first of
all we need to know how these chipsets
are different from each other.

1.) Mediatek:
It is a Taiwanese company. It uses more
cores in it's processors(like octa
core,hexa core,deca core).
(Battery Life):
The mediatek chipsets are known to be
more power draining and results in less
battery life.Now they are optimizing their
processors to be more power efficient
but still lags behind their competetion in
terms of battery life.
Performance:
Performance wise their processors are
very good.Due the availability of extra
cores,mediatek processors can handle
intensive and heavy tasks and they are
very good at multi-tasking.But we can
see all this practically if we have
sufficient Ram.Yes more cores demand
more Ram to give best performance.
(Heating Problem)

Now coming to the heating problem. All
the processors deliver heat while
performing tasks. Mediatek processors
deliver more heat(more cores=more
heat) than the others.
Graphics:
Coming to graphics,Mediatek employs
Mali graphics which is a third party
graphics vendor(So graphics architectue
is different from cpu and its
performance may not match with cpu). It
is really important to match the
performances of cpu and gpu(graphics)
so that the whole chipset performs
efficiently and effectively.

2.)Snapdragon:
Snapdragon chipsets are manufactured
by Qualcomm (American) company.
Snapdragon chipsets are not only just
CPU's they incorporate other many
processors in their chipsets.This is the
main difference between Snapdragon
and other chipsets.
Snapdragon chipsets are named as SoC's
(System on chip) which means their
chipsets(SoC's) have a CPU,GPU(Adreno
Graphics),Image processor,Media
processor,DSP(Digital Signal
Processor),Cellular Modem unit,Wifi
Modue,Radio Module,GPS Module,...etc. All
these modules and Processors are inside
of a snapdragon chip.Yes they
incorporated all these things inside their
chips.Hence their chips are costly.
Battery Life:
Snapdragon chipsets are best in terms of
power efficiency compared to all other
chipsets.
Performance:
Performance wise they perform really
well. In multi-tasking,gaming,handling
heavy and intensive tasks they are very
good.
Heating Problem:
Snapdragon Processors generally deliver
less heat compared to Mediatek and Intel
Atom(Except the Snapdragon 810
Chipset-that faced many heating issues.)
Graphics:
Coming to graphics, they manufacture
their own graphics called Adreno
Graphics and incorporate into their
chips. So here the performance of cpu
and gpu are matched.

3.)Intel Atom:
Every one is familiar with Intel
processors because they are dominant
in the PC market. Intel Atom processors
are the initiative taken by the company
to enter into mobile segment.Intel
processors are best in PC's but when it
comes to mobile they have faced one
problem...!
(Battery Life):
Yes, the problem they faced is Battery
life. Intel company has experience in
manufactuting processors for PC's which
consume power in watts(say 40 watts
and above) but when it comes to mobile
platform where the processors should
run on power less than 5 watts, they had
a problem in optimizing their processors
to work on low power.
Don't worry that is all in the initial stage
when they entered into mobile market.
But recently in Q3 of 2015 they have
announced their Mobile processors
called core M-processors for mobile
platform like tablets and smartphones.
These processors are very power
efficient and they consume power of 5
watts and below.But we may only see
them in Smartphones or Tablets in 2016.
Performance:
Performance wise, i think i don't need to
tell you how Intel Processors do. They
are very good both at PC's and on Mobile.
(Heating Problem):
Intel Atom Processors also deliver more
heat when running heavy and CPU
intensive tasks or while using for long
duration.Let us see how their core M-
Processors perform.
Graphics:
Intel, till now used third party graphic
vendors like Power VGR and Mali
graphics in their CPU's. Intel also have
their own graphics called Intel Iris
Graphics which they introduced in their
4th generation core i-series processors
for PC's. I am not sure but i have read
somewhere that core M-Processors have
Intel Graphics built in. Let us see them in
2016.
After briefing all these things, Now tell
me which chipset is better..?
My answer: Till now, Snapdragon is the
clear winner here. I have practically used
Smartphones which have all these three
processors and telling you my
answer.The Smartphones that i have
used are Micromax Unite 2 (Mediatek
Processor) , HTC Desire X (Snapdragon
Processor) , Asus Zenphone C (Intel Atom
Processor).

The op kept saying "lets see them in 2016". So I wonder when this post was written and why it took this long to get to FP

What about exynos employed by Samsung and Meizu? You left Hauwei Hisilicon Kirin. These chipset are performance champ especially the exynos

kvngjesse:

Snapdragon isn't better bro. The only advantage it has over exynos is future AOSP support and may be in frame rate. The exynos 9810 outperforms the snapdragon 845 in almost everything. The reason why exynos phones are not sold in America, Japan, China and a few other countries are due to CDMA network issues and copyright infringement.

Best comment so far...xiaomi has very good hardware no doubt, but unfortunately, MIUI still looks like something designed primarily for the Chinese market, This means overuse of white everywhere in the UI, no app drawer and forced square borders around all the icons. Xiaomi also resolutely ignores many of the new UI features in the latest versions of Android; the notifications still cannot be expanded, many of the default apps still require you to press and hold the multitasking key to access the 'Menu' function (something that died in stock Android years ago), the share sheet is straight up ridiculous and you can't press and hold the app icons to access app shortcut.. At the end of the day, it all comes down to choice.

extensive testing has proving that A series is only good at burst speeds and not sustained speed that why they are very good on bench marks.

Snapdragon are the most efficient processor,apart from Apple's bionic chipset,they are premium quality processors followed closely behind by Kirin and exynos

What I surmise from your statement is Apple's Bionic chipset are the best.

Am I correct?
