What does all these Proccessor types mean when buying a cell phone

By Ultron -

Well dear readers,


    Its the battle of the smartphone processors. Today i am gona spill the beans and the maybe spread them around a bit further. Maybe even plant some. Well that besides the point. In todays market there is a lot of mambo jumbo about different type of processors for cell phones. I am gona explain it today like i would explain to a 12 years old.


First off we have our Qualcomm Snapdragon



Well this processor is snappy. If you know what i mean. Its like a dragon that is snappy. Fast dragon. Snapdragons are the Rolls Royce of this worlds. Powerful, Elegant, Resourceful and luxurious. They are the best in terms of Battery consumption, Qualcomm is the top most brand as in innovation and gets there before anyone else does.Performance wise they perform really well. In multi-tasking,gaming,handling heavy and intensive tasks they are very good. Snapdragon Processors generally deliver less heat compared to Mediatek and Intel Atom(Except the Snapdragon 810 Chipset-that faced many heating issues.) Coming to graphics, they manufacture their own graphics called Adreno Graphics and incorporate into their chips. So here the performance of cpu and gpu are matched.

Rating = *****


Secondly we have Mediatek Processors



Well mediatek is like the corolla of the automotive industry. Dime a dozen. It is a Taiwanese company. It uses more cores in it's processors(like octa core,hexa core,deca core).The mediatek chipsets are known to be more power draining and results in less battery life.Now they are optimizing their processors to be more power efficient but still lags behind their competetion in terms of battery life.

 Performance wise their processors are very good.Due the availability of extra cores,mediatek processors can handle intensive and heavy tasks and they are very good at multi-tasking.But we can see all this practically if we have sufficient Ram.Yes more cores demand more Ram to give best performance.

 Now coming to the heating problem. All the processors deliver heat while performing tasks. Mediatek processors deliver more heat(more cores=more heat) than the others.

Mediateck uses Mali as the GPU which is a third party vendor and therefore not optimized in an ideal fashion. Personally playing games on mediatek is not a very good experience

Rating = ***



Thirdly we have Intel Atom Processors


Every one is familiar with Intel processors because they are dominant in the PC market. Intel Atom processors are the initiative taken by the company to enter into mobile segment.Intel processors are best in PC's but when it comes to mobile they have faced one problem.

 Battery Life:

Yes, the problem they faced is Battery life. Intel company has experience in manufacturing processors for PC's which consume power in watts(say 40 watts and above) but when it comes to mobile platform where the processors should run on power less than 5 watts, they had a problem in optimizing their processors to work on low power.Performance wise, i think i don't need to tell you how Intel Processors do. They are very good both at PC's and on Mobile.

 Intel Atom Processors also deliver more heat when running heavy and CPU intensive tasks or while using for long duration.Let us see how their core M-Processors perform.
Intel, till now used third party graphic vendors like Power VGR and Mali graphics  in their CPU's. Intel also have their own graphics called Intel Iris Graphics which they introduced in their 4th generation core i-series processors for PC's. I am not sure but i have read somewhere that core M-Processors have Intel Graphics built in. Let us see them in 2016.

Warning: Hackers steal millions from ATMs using 'just their smartphones'

Cyber-robbers flee Taiwan with swag swiped from 'malware-infected machines' Authorities in Taiwan are trying to work out how hackers managed to trick a network of bank ATMs into spitting out millions. Police suspect that two Russian nationals wearing masks cashed out dozens of ATMs operated by Taiwan's First Bank on Sunday and left the country the following day. The crooks stole an estimatedT$70m ($2.2m) hours after a typhoon battered the region around Taipei, the Taiwanese capital. The two (or perhaps at least three) crooks behind the theft didn't use bank cards, judging from security camera footage. Instead, the cybercriminals appeared to gain control of the machines with a "connected device," possibly a smartphone, according to police. Targeted ATMs were made by German manufacturer Wincor Nixdorf, which admits some of its machines in Taiwan were hacked as part of a "premeditated attack." Three different (unspecified) strains of mal...

Well dear readers today we will take a look at what a processor is made up of and different components it contains and also we will decipher this technical mambo jumbo for you. This figure illustrates the innards of a typical generic processor or CPU as well all know. The thin wires are visible and connected to this main sort of a chip die. The center rectangle is the main  heart of our processor. The basic building block of any processor are transistors. Billions and Quadrillions of them. Microprocessors Processor Transistor count Date of introduction Quad-core + GPU AMD Trinity 1,303,000,000 2012 Quad-core z196 1,400,000,000 2010 Quad-core + GPU Core i7 Ivy Bridge 1,400,000,000 2012 Quad-core + GPU Core i7 Haswell 1,400,000,000 2014 How do we create processors? We take a raw silicone and then melt it to form an ingot.  Afterwards we spin this ingot to form a wafer which is thoroughly tested with lasers for its the precision in its sur...
