A kind of arms race has unfolded among phone manufacturers, where the main measure is power. The technical capabilities of a smartphone are influenced by various parameters, the main ones of which are the processor, the amount of RAM and software optimization.
The processor is primarily responsible for the performance of the phone. The processor is a compact chipset that performs complex computing processes. The chipset has cores - a kind of work departments that process requests. The more such departments, the higher the productivity. But different "departments" are endowed with different levels of ability to work. The working capacity of the cores is expressed in clock frequency. The higher the clock frequency, the more powerful the bunch of cores.
Often manufacturers equip processors with cores of different frequencies.They do this in order to save energy resources - battery charge. For example: when a user launches a casual game, the system puts into operation a “team” of low-frequency cores - they will definitely cope with the task and will not “eat up” the coveted percentages in vain. If the smartphone owner decides to simultaneously launch the messenger, browser and weather utility, update the program, watch yesterday's video, the system launches high-frequency cores. And when the restless owner, among other things, decides to install a resource-intensive game, all the cores are included in the work.
The most powerful processors are Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865+, Huawei's HiSilicon Kirin 990, Samsung's Exynos 990, and Apple's A14 Bionic. In this ranking, we have collected the best smartphones with these processors.
