Discussion Qualcomm Snapdragon Thread

[adroc_thurston]

Gotcha. I should point out. He probably will give a max frequency version.

See this is where it gets harder since everyone and their mom cranked up 1t power this gen (to varying degrees).
I'm not even sure the 4.74 sd8e g5 SKU for SGS26 will be able to sustain rated clock for longer than a few seconds.

Hopefully they get that video up on YouTube pretty soon so it’s higher quality. And for sure about the bursting.

let's just say you're in luck.

 

[Doug S]

Wrong, it's basically a halo SKU, with MoP (and thus full memory width) and a different package.

Do we have die photos showing they are separate dies? Given Qualcomm's meager PC sales, it doesn't make sense to make a separate die for an "Extreme" SKU that is gonna sell in the hundreds of thousands at best.

Even Apple de-risked that at first with their Pro/Max "chop".

 

[adroc_thurston]

Oh they're not dies.
The full Glymur is 18c/192b mem but that only ships in a single MoP SKU. This one:

The chops are MoB and 128b, all the same die.

He used liquid nitrogen to lower the temperature to -80 C that still wasn't enough to get stable clocks in something like 503.bwaves. So much for the dig at Mediatek for their meme 4000 .gb6 measurements at subambient.

Ngl I did cruise through it. But, I think I caught him saying that because Geekbench has quick subtests, this allowed for the peak performance to be measured. Liquid nitrogen not needed.
But for SPEC, yeah. Quite a nuance there.

The X2E-80 should be renamed to Plus, the difference is BRUTAL.

Has this been posted yet? Gen 5 throttles pretty hard and the Tensor is not throttling at all which is just odd also.

Gen 5 throttles pretty hard

It has more juice, of course it would.

and the Tensor is not throttling at all which is just odd also.

It's not odd at all, the gfx config there is microscopic.

Somewhat odd since in GSMArena test it does throttle hard in 3DMark too. They did use Wild Life Extreme though.

Andrei has also said the same on Reddit:
"Geekerwan is using some older LLVM11 (iirc) NDK native app for SPEC with classic Flang for Fortran (much slower than Gfortran). S.White is using GCC with static glibc binaries. The GCC part is actually the less impactful difference, but them being glibc instead of having the Android Scudo handicap has a quite larger difference in the scores.

S.White's Android SoC numbers are more comparable to Geekerwan's iOS numbers than Geekerwan's own Android numbers in terms of the way the binaries behave, that's why the iPhones still appear so far away, but actually really aren't."

Also:
"It's not that it's wrong, it's just different. It's only an issue when comparing the Android scores to the iPhone scores. If you just compare the Android numbers to each other, relatively speaking there's no issue."

 

[Meteor Late]

If I checked it right, A19 Pro using S.White review gets 11.99 score, while using 8 Elite Gen 5 it gets 12.23 points. This is Spec2017 int scores.

It did not run full modern Windows, netbooks used castrated Windows SKUs. And sometimes, Linux.

Which castrated Windows was that? Windows Netbook Edition? I have a $136 HP education netbook that wasn't able to complete a Windows Update in over 20 hours. I shut it down and never booted it up again. Yes, it had an HDD.

 

[poke01]

So even if Linux supports takes 2 years, this Pegasus core will still be on par with what Intel will ship in 2 years?


That’s fine, I don’t need to update my laptop anytime soon.

 

[adroc_thurston]

you do understand that x86 is a game of two.

 

[Doug S]

Oh they're not dies.

Duh.

That's not what I'm talking about and you damn well know it. You're being deliberately obtuse so I guess I'll wait until I see someone else post actual helpful information instead of trying to obsfucate.

Qualcomm practically doubled their CPU performance in the last 3 years with only one major node shrink.
All it took was a 1.4 billion dollar acquisition of Nuvia, doubling power consumption and a lawsuit with ARM.

I'm impressed, personally.

So now we have:
- Apple
- Intel
- Qualcomm

All using MoP, only AMD stubbornly shooting itself in the foot by refusing to adopt it.

Theyve done quite fine without it thus far, I'd say.

Of those 3, Intel has said it's a poor market fit for their customers (remember, you're the customer's customer). Apple is their own customer. And Qualcomm isn't all-in on it.

Agree that 20W is laptop territory, but it'd be 2x as fast even if they didn't double power --at iso-power it's still around ~2x performance from 8g2.

As for laptops, some gripe about the Windows on ARM platform being being the worst of both worlds when it comes to compromises in software compatibility and hardware performance / efficiency (vs. x86 machines and the Mac consumer electronics experience), but I happen to think that with this gen's SD X2 and the continuing maturity of Win11's software compatibility, it solidly hits the best of both worlds.

The main gripe against WARM laptops continues to be gaming and incompatible kernel level drivers, but that will be chiseled away over time especially now that the WARM toolchain is more mature. ARM's lawsuit delayed the first SD X, but they now seem to be on a similar cadence for cores and GPU on phone and laptop SoCs at least, so going forward they won't be stuck with the inferior performance and the chore of a developing GPU drivers for lagging architectures. With the new Adreno supporting DX12.2 and moving to a more gaming friendly IMR rendering pipeline, it should end up a solid choice for light gaming --one doesn't buy a machine in the form factors they're targeting expecting much more than that. They really should try to win the XBox contract to get more dev. feedback / support for their GPU drivers though...
