The final 2 years have been fairly thrilling for the cellular silicon panorama – Arm’s launch of the Cortex-A76 had marked a giant bounce in efficiency for smartphones, vastly elevating the bar of what’s doable to attain in a cellular SoC. With this era, we’ve additionally seen SoC distributors deploy some more and more aggressive designs that improved upon their predecessors – a lot to do with the brand new IP, but additionally a big half due to new 7nm manufacturing applied sciences.
We’re all too conversant in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 and 865 which energy the vast majority of flagship gadgets available in the market proper now. Qualcomm has been steadily enhancing their execution of the final couple of years ever for the reason that Snapdragon 835, and the brand new S865 can be a nice stability between efficiency and energy effectivity for 2020’s gadgets. We’ve additionally seen HiSilicon push out fairly aggressive merchandise with the Kirin 980 and the 990 – though the way forward for Huawei’s in-house SoC designs are in grave limbo and run the chance of now not seeing successors sooner or later.
Qualcomm’s and HiSilicon’s successes have nevertheless come at a price available in the market although – we’re all conscious of Samsung’s missteps with their Exynos collection, though we do hope issues will enhance within the comings years, fingers crossed.
The different sufferer to Qualcomm and Huawei’s success has been MediaTek. The Taiwanese SoC vendor had been historically been a bigger participant within the smartphone market, nevertheless it’s been dropping market share to Qualcomm quarter after quarter for years now. Last 12 months, the corporate had revealed that with the brand new 5G era of “Dimensity” SoCs we’d be seeing a renewed push into the high-end market.
Today, we’ll be taking a better take a look at one among these Dimensity 1000 powered telephones, the OPPO Reno3 5G. The Reno3 collection has been fairly the oddball machine line-up this 12 months, as the corporate has been selectively releasing fairly completely different variants at a fast tempo in numerous markets – all with completely different SoCs and barely differing machine specs.
