SoC showdown 2016: Snapdragon 821 vs Exynos 8890 vs MediaTek Helio X25 vs Kirin 960

CIP Systems overview

1. Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) are systems that has been created for automatic cleaning without having to dismantle major portions of the process

2. Automatic CIP systems must contain the proper hardware that can be cleaned in place without dismantle

What is a SoC?

SoC is a single chip, which contain lots of more than one functions, is known as a System-on-a-Chip. The chips which power our smartphones are no longer just CPUs, but a CPU plus a GPU plus a memory controller plus a DSP plus a radio for GSM, 3G and 4G.

Snapdragon 821

Qualcomm’s flagship 64-bit processor is known as snapdragon. Code named Kryo which is Qualcomm’s first HMP system using its own in-house ARM compatible cores.

Exynos 8890

This is the first chip from Samsung to feature in-house designed ARM compatible cores. Found in Samsung’s leading flagship devices like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, the Samsung Galaxy S7, and in other , the Exynos 8890 is a 64-bit octa-core design, built from four Samsung M1 CPU cores clocked between 2.3 and 2.6GHz, four 1.6GHz ARM Cortex-A53 cores, and an ARM Mali-T880 MP12 GPU.

MediaTek Helio X25

The world’s first mobile processor with a tri-cluster CPU architecture is MediaTek Helio X25 and it has ten cores. In a traditional HMP system there are two clusters of cores, a high performance cluster and an energy efficient cluster. The three processor clusters, are each designed to more adequately to handle different types of workloads.

Kirin 960

First came the Kirin 950/955, which is found in the Mate 8 and then came the Kirin 960, which is in the Mate 9. The Kirin 950 & 955 use the Cortex-A72 and the Mali-T880 just like the Helio X25.

What about the Apple A10 Fusion?

All of these processors are used in Android handsets, however the other important SoC of 2016 is the Apple A10 fusion. It is also a HMP processor with two high performance cores and two power efficient cores. It also element for an unnamed 6 core GPU from Apple, likely based on the PowerVR GPU architecture from Imagination
