News & Reviews:   benchmark

Rumours of new Samsung Exynos chipsets have been around for some time and so far we know that there are two new models on the way. The Exynos 1080 is one of it and could be featured first in the vivo X60. Now, the chipset was found in a benchmark for a new phone on AnTuTu.

As some of you may know, TSMC is manufacturing the A14X Bionic chipset for Apple's next iteration of the iPad Pro and iPad Air. With the move to 5nm, this chipset is expected to deliver greater performance and power efficiency. We're seeing some signs of that now after some benchmark data for it was leaked yesterday.

Just last week, it was reported that MediaTek was caught cheating in benchmarking tests. Despite that, it probably won't stop benchmark boosting which is unfortunately common in the smartphone industry. To deal with this issue, UL Benchmarks announced that over 50 smartphones powered by MediaTek chipsets have been delisted once and for all. 

Ever since AMD announced the Ryzen 4000 series processor back in early January, the enthusiastic gamers around the world have been thinking what kind of performance can they expect. Is this a big deal? Yes, it is and very much so for the gaming industry. To put it in a layman's context, imagine transferring a powerful processor from a desktop to an ultrathin laptop, yet able to retain its performance and battery efficiency. But is this possible?
