Anyone know the known list of chip that overheat?
We all know that mediatek generally overheat the phone. Snapdragon also was fighting with the same issue with their chip last time. iinm the chips used in oneplus 2.
I know exynos 3-4 years ago sucks so bad.
Anyone know if huaeei kirin chip got any issue with overheat? Which model?
Wonder if xiaomi upcoming in-house "Surge S2" chip will have this issue. And hoping that xiaomi wont ditch snapdragon.
Edited : just realised surge 2 is built on 16nm fab. Power efficiency wise should be lower than sn625?
Basically 16nm=14nm, 16nm maybe even better few years ago(search iphone 6 tsmc vs samsung), just different company. For battery life lower nm is better. Then also must see type of core, big core(a75/73/72) are more powerful performance wise but use more energy.
So like this phone you can see, the mediatek version has big cores but on older process, that's why they have good benchmarks but bad battery life. SD version has no big cores and newer process so worse performance but very good battery life. And the thing you need to keep in mind is also that when phones heat up, they don't have fan to cool down, they drop their clockspeed instead whereas chips on newer process can run at higher clockspeeds for longer cause it takes longer for it to heat up. Thats why many feedback sd version redmi note 4 better.
To simplify, right now the power/performance these chips can consider same range. Of course radio signal strength I cannot say cause i never use all the different product before.
sd625, kirin65x, mediatek p series, Exynos 7870 Octa
sd660, kirin 960
sd835, exynos 8895, x30(maybe lower performance cause only 2 big core), kirin970
