Dual Core VS Single Core Rockchip RK3066 VS RK2918 Review

Posted on Jun 13, 2012 by android-fans No Comments

Recent visit a few laps in the forum, found that frequent users on single / dual-core issues to discuss, tangled so wait for the dual-core products or start a single-core. In fact, I do happen to have two generations of Rockchip mononuclear (RK2918) and dual-core (RK3066), so he intends the product to be a simple comparison of these two generations to see the dual-core products than single-core comprehensive increase, perhaps this can be a little inspiration.

Dual- core and single-core, a single dual, simple and literally be able to see the difference in the performance of that nature is not more than a direct comparison of the two running points what is of course no sense. Run sub-clouds, experience is king "Whilst this vulgar could not vulgar, but it is indeed a sentence the truth – the products are not used to fight the configuration, the actual experience is the most realistic.

Earlier in the the MP4 era, the main purpose of the portable product is movies, music and e-book three blocks, and into the WiFi-enabled android tablet PC era, use some changes, , but in the end also ran within a few large pieces. Looking back, flat products in fact, frequently used functions should be web browsing, online video player, video player, books, games, these items, so for simple discussion of these items.

Web Browser

The web browser is actually Needless to say, because it can be regarded as a fundamental attribute of the Tablet PC. In the single-core era, limited the ability of the processor, web browser, the effect is not satisfactory, the impression that is open GPU-accelerated SDK 2.0 firmware viewed in general, satisfactory. To dual-core era, web browser and how it? Let us look at the actual contrast.

The left is single core tablet while the right is dual core tablet.

Can be seen from the above video, the hands of the dual-core products can be described as substantially improved performance compared to single-core, whether it is the loading speed of pages or the pages drag effect than single-core products better, the pagethe flash is no longer flicker gesture scaling effect is more fluid. Although the loading speed with the PC there is a gap, but at least this can be said to reach a usable level, if re-optimization should be able to not have to use a dedicated client to browse the web.

Video Online

Online Video In fact, a single nuclear age had already done a good job, most video sites HD video you can use the flash to play smoothly, just as mosaic, slightly out of frame and small (but if you switch to HTML5way, these problems do not exist)

The dual-core tablet in the flash broadcast of the performance is better, the mosaic has not been seen (unless the clarity of the video), and the fluency of the video significantly higher. The biggest improvement, however, lies with the operating process, the video can be seen in the smooth operation than single-core products better, switch the video resolution, aspect ratio of the time delay sense of light a lot, but still can not adjust the volume still be very precise (is it my hands rough?)

E-book

Single nuclear age, the effect of the reading of the PDF has been done well. File open speed is not slow, and the majority of software has pre-load function is not veryfrequent flip case, basically can do continuous reading, but if turning the pages speedmore frequently, it will look to a loading process, you need to wait for some.

In contrast, dual-core performance improved, the flip action is smooth, quick flip when the inevitable will still see a pre-loading process, but a shorter time than single-core products,zoom in by a fuzzy variable and clear the process a little bit shorter (in fact, the single-core products is very short.)

Games

The game actually has a relationship with the CPU and GPU part, because the comparison between the configuration of dual-and single-core products, so in this respect compete with established now will not do more shows, a simple section video contrast.

Single-core on the left, the right dual-core. Strange began to read the dual-core actually not dominant, but rather the product of single-core to read a little bit faster, but into the game screen you can feel some Caton single-core, especially the opening animation is particularly evident.

Several comparison, the maximum lift of the hands of the dual-core products than single-core or in the Web browsing and gaming, and other aspects, although improved, but the difference is not such a large. Of course, serious, in fact, this is not a fair comparison, no way to accurately compare the dual-core whether much improvement than single-core architecture, technology, frequency of both are completely different. However, originally I mean is to compare before and after the gap of two generations of products for the forum inside the tangle product of the single / dual-core users a reference. From this perspective, can be considered to achieve the expected results.
