After the release of Snapdragon 835 in early 2017, it finally made its Asian debut in Beijing on March 22, and Love to play computer games (Public account search: Ainongji) also participated in this activity, taking this opportunity to show you the style of this flagship SoC.
Scoring comparison and on-site demonstration of Xiaolong 835 engineering machine
Most of the fans are most interested in the actual performance of the Snapdragon 835. We do not go around the circle, but directly shoot the data on the real machine. If you are patient, you can slowly read the following part of the run:
First of all, the most popular Anbuntu evaluation. The development machine of Snapdragon 835 has scored more than 180000 points, equalling the iPhone 7, and of course, has also set a new record for Android devices.
Next is Geekbench 4, the favorite of "geeks". The single core exceeds 2000 and the multi-core is close to 6500, which is also the highest level of Android. However, compared with the single thread performance of iPhone, it is still a little "tender". This gap can be expected. After all, Apple focuses on two "big cores", while Qualcomm uses four high-frequency Kryo 280 this time. It is impossible to achieve the same single core performance as Apple.
The graphics score is GFXBench, and only a bunch of frames are estimated. The average user has no idea about what level this is. See our comparison table below for details.
In the performance test of RAR, nearly 2400 points were scored when the eight cores were fully open, which was similar to Kirin 960 who played well, and there was still a certain gap with Exynos 8890, the record holder of Android.
RAR single thread test, exceeding 640KB/s , which is also the strongest level in Android devices.
We also compare the field score of Xiaolong 835 engineering machine with some of the strongest equipment in service. As the saying goes, we don't accept the score:
Snapdragon 835 in Geekbench 4, whether single core or multi-core The top level of Android phones ， But there is still a huge gap between single core and Apple As Snapdragon 835 has eight cores, its multi-core performance is a huge leap compared with the previous Qualcomm SoC.
The single thread of RAR is the top level, while the multithreading is slightly weaker than Exynos 8890. This is also a big leap for Qualcomm SoC.
GPU performance has always been a strong point of Qualcomm, but from the frame number of the test machine, it seems that it is not optimistic. Among them, the off screen test of Manhattan and Manhattan ES3.1 and the iPhone 7 Plus using Apple A10 Fusion are among the best, while the off screen test of Tyrannosaurus Rex lags behind the iPhone 7 Plus. Of course, the engineering machine does not represent the final result, and there is still a chance to improve.
Next are some real machine live shots and experience scenes of the Asian debut of Snapdragon 835:
Snapdragon 835 has given a lot of support to VR devices in design. The picture shows the VR scene experience of the "extraordinary team" in the experience area. Compared with ordinary mobile VR glasses, the effect is more realistic and more presentational.
Qualcomm's X16 LTE baseband demonstration, in the simulation scenario, with a gigabit LTE network and equipment, will have a faster network speed than a mobile phone using traditional network technology even if the network signal is weak.
Qualcomm has also been developing its own audio chip in the past year or two. Snapdragon 835 has its own Codec chip and power amplifier, which will have better audio quality than traditional mobile phone audio solutions. The picture shows the live audio demonstration.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 demo machine, which demonstrates the excellent light and shadow effect and picture quality in the actual game, is also produced by Qualcomm internally, and is specially used to show the powerful performance of Adreno 540.
Since the testing machine does not need to consider the strength and structure of the body, it only uses a plastic body, and the whole machine is relatively light.
This test machine is demonstrating HDR video.
The on-site testing machine has two styles, this one has a round camera module.
Dragon 835 Asia's first show
The last part of the article is about the speech process and content of the first show. If you are a user who only wants to engage in "computer", the following part may be slightly boring:
The Slogan of Snapdragon 835's Asian debut is "the stronger the stronger", and Qualcomm also calls Snapdragon 835 a "mobile platform" rather than a "processor".
Snapdragon 835 has many characteristics, such as the world's first 10nm process, Kryo 280 CPU core, Adreno 540 graphics processor, Spectra 180 dual ISP, gigabit LTE, etc.
Wu Shangjie, senior president of Qualcomm, explained some concepts of Qualcomm. Including the relationship between mobile phones and the Internet of Things, the explosive growth of smart phones, especially domestic mobile phones, most of which use Qualcomm Snapdragon's SoC. According to the information obtained from Ainuoji (public account search: Ainuoji), the first mobile phone launched in China to use Snapdragon 835 will be Samsung's Galaxy S8 series, while the first domestic Snapdragon 835 will be Xiaomi 6.
Next is the display of Snapdragon 835 chip. Due to the 10nm process, the whole chip area is very small, one circle smaller than the one yuan coin.
The application field of Snapdragon 835 is not only smart phones, but also VR/AR terminals, mobile PCs, etc. In fact, we have seen the corresponding product release of the latter two.
Zhang Yun, senior director of Qualcomm's product marketing, took the stage to introduce the overview of Snapdragon 835. First of all, of course, the world's most advanced Samsung 10nm FinFET LPE process. Although it is an eight core chip, the size of Snapdragon 835 is much smaller than that of Snapdragon 820/821.
Some of the main components of Snapdragon 835 can be seen that Qualcomm's SoC has gone far beyond the commonly understood "CPU+GPU+ISP", and there are many other parts and features. According to the actual application scenarios, different modules within the SoC will be responsible for it.
The new QC4.0 fast charging technology officially claims that the 2750mAh battery can be charged to 50% within 15 minutes. However, compared with the previous Meizu 19 minute 3000 mAh battery, it is still slightly weaker, and certainly has a great speed advantage over the mainstream scheme.
Next, Shen Lei, senior director of Qualcomm product marketing, took the stage to explain the gigabit LTE technology of Snapdragon 835.
Gigabit LTE has developed at a high speed worldwide. Telstra, Australia, has successfully tested the most advanced high-speed network (FDD-LTE). The measured downlink can reach 911.21Mbps, which is close to the nominal value of gigabit.
Sprint in New Orleans, the United States also successfully tested the Gigabit Network (TDD-LTE). It is measured that the downlink in an indoor stadium can reach 705.53Mbps, which has a great speed advantage over the mainstream scheme.
Next, Guo Peng, senior manager of Qualcomm product market, introduced some virtual reality application scenarios brought by Snapdragon 835. Immersive experience mainly comes from the combination of vision, hearing and interaction.
The breakthrough of Snapdragon 835 in vision also reflects that the support of Snapdragon 8 series chips in ultra-high definition video capture and playback has been constantly advancing, among which Snapdragon 835 supports HDR10 and Ultra HD Premium standards.
In terms of audio, the codec and amplifier integrated by Qualcomm SoC are combined. The Snapdragon 835 also supports DSD level audio.
In terms of intuitive interaction, Qualcomm and Leap Motion have cooperated to give users a better experience in action interaction.
Snapdragon 835 has also been applied in the VR field.
With the help of a powerful ISP, Snapdragon 835 also brings new technologies in terms of bad imaging, such as the anti shake of EIS3.0 and the focusing mechanism automatically selected according to the lighting conditions.
According to informal statistics, in DxOMark's 2016 mobile camera rating list, 10 of the top 15 products used Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC.
In addition, Qualcomm also cooperated with JD and held the launching ceremony of "2017 JD Snapdragon Special Train" on the day of the event. We will see more products using Snapdragon processors on JD in the future.
For more tests and data on Snapdragon 835, we will introduce them in detail in the subsequent demo.
