See set up

hehehe no be setup oh . I just love reading about all this things

atheistandproud:
The processor or SoC (System on a chip) of a Smartphone can be thought of as the brain of that smartphone.

This processor contains several things. The most important of which are CPUs.

A CPU or Central Processing Unit is responsible for carrying out the tasks and managing the functions of your Smartphone computer.

Your Processor in your Smartphone may contain several CPUs.

Each of this CPUs inside the SoC are referred to as a CORE.

If a processor has:

1 CPU, it's called a Single Core processor

2 CPUs, it's called a Dual Core processor

4 CPUs, it's called a Quad Core processor

6 CPUs, it's called a Hexa Core processor

8 CPUs, it's called a Octa Core processor

10 CPUs, it's called a Deca Core processor


Types of CPUs for Smartphones (Android)

The main company that designs CPUs for all androids is called ARM.

They then sell their design to SoC retailers/manufacturers who then use the design by ARM to build their own Unique CPU.

There are two types of CPUs widely in use in the market now to build SoCs. They are:

1. The ARM cortex A50 series which are used for only light tasks such as making calls, scrolling through FB, WhatsApp chatting, reading an eBook etc.
The A50 series consists of A53, A55 and A57

The exception here is the A57 core which is a powerful core used for heavy tasks. It is the predecessor of the A70 Series. (thank you @Naijasensei)


2. The ARM cortex A70 series which are used for heavy tasks like HD gaming, Video calls, Screen casting etc.
The A70 series consists of A72, A73, A75, A76, A77

A77 is the best currently in the market.

A few questions people may want to ask...

1. Do more Cores equal a better performance?
Well yes and no.

Yes because more CPU helps share the load of processing data and outputs the results faster making apps feel smoother and run faster.

No. Because sometimes more CPU cores isn't necessarily the answer. A Quad core A76/A55 CPU set will outperform an Octa core A57 set by far.

Then there's also optimization. This is when apps and tasks are tailor made to run smoothly on CPUs. This is why a Quad core iPhone may completely destroy an Octa-core midrange android device.

This answer to this question relies on you the individual looking at the CPU spec sheet as well as clock speed.

2. If two CPU cores are compared, is the one with the faster clock speed the best?

Well yes and no again.

Yes, if the two CPUs are of the same architecture e.g A72 Vs A72. They are both equal in every way so the only way to set them apart is the clock speed.

No. If the two CPUs are of different architectures e.g A73 Vs A76. If you like, dash the A73 a clock speed of 2.5GHz, an A76 of 2.0GHz will stroll pass it on a speedtest like Usain Bolt.

For any other question, please comment and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge.

Cheers.

So oga athiestandproud, quick question

So i did a google search about the unisoc sc9863a an Octacore cpu of 1.6ghz/1.2ghz clock speed with cortex A55 and 28nm High performance chip

And compared to helio p22 of Octa core of 2.0ghz cortex A53 and 12nm finfet

Cortex A55 is the successor of A53 from what i discovered
Putting the fabrication aside and judging by your post

Will the unisoc chipset outperform the helio p22 even with lesser clock speed and a better cortex ?

Athiestandproud the encyclopaedia of knowledge of the workings of cpu... Keep it up baba i am learning steadily from you..

atheistandproud:
It still looks muah!

Well done

thanks baba

Masonkaycares:
They said 1.5gb for 500 double suppose to be 1.5+1.5 =3gb

Clearly you didn't understand the message when you went to subscribe...

Your 1.5gb data for 500ngn is split between the main data which is 750mb and a bonus data which is 750mb... Oga them no scam you..

you be dey find 3gb for 500ngn for a 14days plan from Airtel. How oga how?

I'm here.



I no say e no pure but any corrections, how can I use colour pop or what do they call it on Snapseed?

Good afternoon

sunshineV:
watermark your photos

okay... Thanks

Sunset with snapseed

Redmi 8
Hyper cam+ light room

Wallpaper.....

BenDanor:
Yeah, that's true because most times those android one phones also come with their OEM support app

like the Nokia support app on its own device...

Athiestandproud

I dey follow you bumper to bumper...

Your thread too make sense...

Feed us more bro... It's about time people start learning about what is in their smartphones

Naomi device you say?

Is it a typo?

If not... I just dey laff here

Kamaye:
The biggest joke of the year is spending 43k on itel smartphone.

a big joke... Imagine using a 32nm chipset on a 2020 device.... They're just diverting people's attention from what is really important in a phone...

holuwasheyiWGP:
I'm even regretting updating it..Network issue which didn't occur in android 9 started after the update. 9mobile no dey even show 3g, something wey I dey use steady

Na wa o.. i no dey use 9mobile for if na so.. na big Bleep up o

BenDanor:
This has been going on even on android 9 on my Nokia

it was working well on Android 9 for me.. but the Android 10 has a lot of bugs

TopeQs:
oh, okay then.


I just updated mine, make I see as e go be too.

okay good one... Anyway there is the may security patch available... Have you been able to update it?... Mine is not working

BenDanor:
. The sky looks good

thanks o

TopeQs:
please explain, notification bugs??

notifications from 3rd party apps like WhatsApp won't come unless you open the app...

TopeQs:
Wow, that's nice.

I don't know how to do that, I'll wait for the update here jare...

Modified:- I just got my update too.


Seems it will be a long process that way.

Its great anyway.. but it comes with notification bugs...

TopeQs:
wow, how did you do it.

I also use 3.1 plus...

I downloaded the Ota file from a link i saw on Google... I sideloaded it by booting into recovery mode and installing it.. the file is 1.2gb..

sunshineV:
It's the base model of redmi 8 series, no finger print unlock tho but good engine

I don't really mind the fingerprint

ZesusHVWritter:
Which Nokia device are you using?

Nokia 3.1 plus

sunshineV:
Chill bro I was only tryna be funny

ok no probs what's your take on the Redmi 8a...?

I am thinking of switching from Nokia since i want to dash somebody my current phone..

I am interested
