With the rapid development of mobile Internet, mobile phones have become an indispensable part of our daily life. With the advancement of technology, the performance of mobile phones is also improving, so that many people are beginning to wonder: what kind of performance is the current top mobile phone equivalent to a computer?This article will explain this problem for you from a professional point of view.
1. Processor performance: the contest between mobile phones and computers.
Mobile phone processors: Today, the processors on high-end mobile phones are already very powerful. Take the Apple A15 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, for example, which use advanced 5nm process technology and have billions of transistors, which are comparable in performance to mid-range computer processors from a few years ago.
Computer processors: However, there is still a big gap in performance between mobile phone processors and top-of-the-line computer processors, such as Intel's Core i9 or AMD's Ryzen 9 series. These computer processors have higher clock rates, more cores and threads, and larger caches to handle more complex tasks.
2. Graphics processing power: mobile phones are catching up.
Mobile GPUs: In recent years, mobile phones have made significant progress in their graphics capabilities. GPUs on high-end phones, such as Apple's A15 GPU and Qualcomm Adreno 660, have been able to achieve performance close to that of entry-level discrete graphics.
PC GPUs: Still, mobile GPUs fall short in terms of performance compared to mid-to-high-end discrete graphics cards like NVIDIA's GTX 1060 or AMD's RX 580. PC GPUs have more stream processors, higher core clocks, and more memory bandwidth to provide better graphics rendering capabilities.
3. Memory and storage: mobile phones are gradually narrowing the gap.
Mobile phone memory: With the popularization of LPDDR5 memory technology, the memory bandwidth and capacity of high-end mobile phones have been significantly improved. Currently, top-of-the-line phones already come with 12GB or even 16GB of running memory, which is on par with some thin and light laptops. Computer memory: However, computers still have a clear advantage when it comes to memory capacity and scalability. Many mid-to-high-end PCs support 32GB or more memory configurations to meet the needs of more demanding applications. Mobile phone storage: In terms of storage, high-end mobile phones generally adopt UFS 31 Flash technology, very fast read and write speed. At the same time, with the advent of 512GB or even 1TB storage capacity, mobile phones have been able to meet the needs of most users in terms of storage space. Computer storage: Computer storage options are more diverse. In addition to traditional SATA SSDs and NVMe SSDs, computers also support larger capacity HDDs as well as high-speed external storage devices. This gives the PC a clear advantage in terms of storage capacity and scalability.
Overall, the top-of-the-line phones today have achieved impressive performance in terms of processors, graphics, memory, and storage, and in some respects are even comparable to mid-range computers from a few years ago. However, compared to top-of-the-line computers, there is still a big gap in terms of performance.
