I am surprised this username is not taken
I have so many tabs open but I don't want to close them because I have random other ideas there and I should finish the current idea I am actually trying to do first but then I go back to the older tabs and I go back into those older idea so then nothing gets done lol
Oh actually the latest has a device name of "aaaa aaa 01 AA54321" I accidentally skipped this. And this has a GPU driver 512.884.0, quite a bit newer than what's available for Windows wow. browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/18649...
The leaker probably got their hands on the image for this. Delving into the Geekbench JSON file for more info (you just add .gb6 at the end of the URL) you can see the GPU and Android build ID. Mica is one of the codenames for these Aluminum OS devices: www.androidauthority.com/googlebook-m...
I was scouring Geekbench and I think I found the source of that one Aluminum OS leak (The replacement for Chromebooks, powered by Android). It seems Google and Qualcomm have been testing it on presumably the X Elite CRD since at least April. browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/17524...
I think the Verge misreported. Probably confused by Apple mixing up "generation" and CPU model naming. The M1 iPad Pro is called the 3rd generation (for the 11-inch model) and 5th generation (for the 12-inch model). Same for the iPad Air with M1, that's called the 5th one. www.apple.com/os/ipados/
I recently found out that USI, the Universal Stylus Initiative, that claims it "ensures styluses work consistently across devices through a unified, open standard." charges... **$4,800** per year to get access to the spec!!! No wonder literally no one adopted it outside of Chromebooks.
of 3130 here vs the N1's 2452 there's probably a major clock speed decrease and the multicore isn't likely to improve significantly. I just remembered you can see the max clock speed during the run. The N1 CPU runs report only about 3.1GHz. The N1X (probably) / GB10's ran at about 3.9GHz
The most disappointing part of it I think, at least at the moment is the CPU performance. browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/16423...
I recently realized there's Nvidia N1 results on Geekbench. It confirms that the N1 has 10 cores but also, The OS they ran on is interesting: Android So even Nvidia is in on Aluminum OS (the replacement for ChromeOS based on Android) which is very interesting browser.geekbench.com/v6/compute/5...
Alternatively, going from a regular phone to a full size tablet as Huawei and Samsung have demonstrated. But this is very expensive since they are the first of their kind.a
AMD's marketing names are bad and kinda shady (selling old APUs as new ones) so I don't really blame you for getting confused.
The base Xbox Ally has a Z2A: four Zen2 CPU cores, 8CU RDNA2. Codename is also Aerith Plus. The Steam Deck's APU is also codenamed Aerith.
Leading up to the Pixel 10 release we got full specs leaked including the GPU and one interesting thing was that a driver for these specific GPUs has hardware based virtualization which made complete sense given the terminal. But Google doesn't use it???
I guess this doesn't work. Or maybe it only shows up on the PDS but the AppView doesn't know how to handle it
Just a kind of boring upgrade. At least there were some efficiency improvements for both sets of cores unlike the D9500. What Xiaomi did for their FIRST CPU is still super impressive, crazy and competitive. Taking a Cortex A725 and improving its efficiency that much is insane.
Also forgot to point out that the peak power draw increased compared to the predecessor. The previous test was testing each core type individually. But it does seem to be better and more efficient for multicore. Apparently the core to core latency got reduced significantly and they increased the
The new ARM cores tiering goes like this, from big to small. C1-Ultra C1-Premium C1-Pro C1-Nano The D9500 doesn't have any nano cores so the smallest cores it has are C1-Pro. And it's just what. The C1-Ultra is more efficient at every power level, compared to even the C1-Pro.
Geez ARM wasn't kidding. The Mali G1 Ultra in the D9500 is indeed 2x faster than its predecessor, the D9400, in Solar Bay Extreme. No power draw measurement or curve for this benchmark though. It's also the first Android SoC to have BVH traversal capabilities. youtu.be/tDvr1YOdlWg
Yeah I don't think they'd contribute SVE for Windows code to LLVM for no reason either www.qualcomm.com/developer/bl...
I guess it's true. People suspect geekerwan or someone else ran it while cooling the phone with extreme measures (for a phone) as most of the other results are under 3900 wccftech.com/a19-pro-poss...
This is a bit of a special situation since I'm pretty sure the pricing is this way because of trade-in offers for the Pixel 10 but I think it still supports my point
AYN also announced the Odin3 that's also powered by an 8 Elite, the biggest difference I think is that it has an OLED screen. Pricing and configurations are similar, but overall a tiny bit more expensive.
The pricing for this is up now. The 8 Elite is confirmed as the reason it's called "elite" 16GB + 512GB being $459 at retail is a really good value. Qualcomm please you need to let your Android chips run Windows or bare metal Linux there's so much potential locked away behind Android here.
I/O is probably the super skinny one, which looks even longer than on Lunar Lake (that SoC even had a filler tile to fill in the gap by the too short I/O tile)
The GB10 (what the N1X is rumored to be based on) seems like it's mostly just a Mediatek SoC with a Nvidia GPU attached which is interesting. I guess the NPU seen in the Geekbench OpenCL run for the N1X is probably a Mediatek one (it'd be inefficient to cross to the GPU wccftech.com/nvidia-gb10-...
