Perhaps you've heard the term chipset? Do you know what chipset? Let's get to know a variety of chipsets on the Android smartphone. Note first that the Chipset on smartphones and tablets is different from the chipset on the PC. In the PC, Chipset works more specific and separate from the CPU that works in dealing with the calculation.
On the PC, it works chipset memory controller, graphics, sound, and the CPU itself. Another thing with a smartphone or tablet device. Chipset on mobile devices is often known as a SoC. This term means the system-on-a-chip, which means a silicon chip that consists of all the components therein.
In an SoC, integrated the various components that support the performance of the smartphone. In it there is a processor, graphics processor, memory, USB controller, power management controllers and controller network connectivity (WiFi, 3G, 4G LTE, and so on). SoC is built to be more effective and functional. It also relates to the form of a smartphone that has a relatively small size.
With SoC technology is certainly all the systems work more optimally and consuming less power than the system CPU on the PC.
Know the chipset vendor on Android devices
After learning about the SoC, we will further discuss about the chipset used on your Android device, what are they? Let scrutiny.
1.Qualcomm
This processor is a CPU of Android that is often used by many manufacturers of Android smartphones or tablets. This American-made processor now has launched four generations, namely the Snapdragon S1, S2 Snapdragon, Snapdragon S3, and S4 Snapdragon. There is no doubting the quality of this processor, because the quality does have better abilities than other CPUs.
Graphics are supported by Qualcomm are the men from ATI, the Adreno. If you are a gamers, it looks like you choose the right gadgets to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon CPU.
Qualcomm's chipset has advantages in terms of performance, power consumption, graphics support, and 4G connectivity. Chipset Type-known of these companies is Qualcomm Snapdragon Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 and 800
Qualcomm claims its single-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz with a better performance than other processors that have dual-core processors. Examples of gadgets that use Qualcomm is the Samsung Galaxy W, Motorola Fire XT, HTC Sensation XE, the Lenovo A706.
2. Mediatek
One of the major processor manufacturers from Asia apart from Samsung that is widely used by producers or gadget is commonly abbreviated Mediatek MTK. China-based company is a manufacturer of first-class processor but has a low price. If you look at the specifications of the local gadgets like LG G Pro Lite, IMO, Mito, Lenovo, or Acer and Asus of Taiwan, it will be seen that the processor used is artificial Mediatek.
Especially for those of you who have a low budget to have Android gadgets, gadgets with Mediatek processor is the solution. For the quality you need not worry, because these processors have good performance, in addition to aided by a PowerVR graphics. Even now, beginning with the chipset and the MT code followed by a four digit code is currently developing a 64-bit Chipset
Unfortunately for energy, you have to carefully choose Android gadget that has a large supply of batteries. Wasteful consumption of the battery is the minus of this processor, but for the power of visualization, the battery power is diverted to produce visually good and smooth.
3. Nvidia Tegra
This processor is produkan from Nvidia. For the processor itself is now spawned Nvidia Tegra APX series, Nvidia Tegra 2, and Nvidia Tegra 3. To Nvidia Tegra 4 is in development to be able to work multi-core processors. One is the flagship chipset Nvidia Tegra Nvidia Tegra 3 and 4. Both chipset is known as a particularly powerful chipset to support the need to play games either by tablet or via smartphone.
Nvidia's Tegra processor has a minimum power consumption, making it suitable for use in your multimedia needs, both for playing games or playing HD video. Unfortunately, the Android gadgets that use this processor is fairly upper middle, one example is the HTC X is inserted Nividia Tegra 3.
When you use a smartphone produced very maximum performance and of course the power absorbed very least once so that the battery does not have to be used which has a strength above 2.000mAh to be on stand-by for longer. As for the lower middle, Acer Iconia Tab A200 now can you lyrics by using processor Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processors.
4. Exynos
Exynos processor is made by Samsung Electronics and is used specially for Samsung Mobile. This processor offers several advantages that may make you interested in having a product with this Exynos processor. 3D gaming sensation will be felt smoothly without any lag, because the GPU is Mali 400 GPU must have been a lot of gadgets that use graphics from Mali such as the iPad 2 and the Samsung Galaxy SII.
Then, the best performance olehprosesor to do this is your multitasking on Android gadget, be it a smartphone or tablet. Although this processor supports multi-core processors, but the calculated absorbed power efficient. One of gadgets that use this processor is the Samsung Galaxy SIII (Exynos 4212 quad-core).
5. OMAP
An OMAP processor manufactured by Texas Instruments, is now available OMAP 1 through 4. Processor OMAP OMAP 4 is the first step texas instruments dual core version. OMAP processor is also often used by smartphones with reliable performance including samsung galaxy nexus, Huawei Ascend P1 S is up archos tablet. OMAP excellence capable of providing and processing site on the internet look like a website on a PC, the user interface is much faster with less power consumption, both primary and secondary camera to support a more powerful and capable of displaying Full HD video.
Texas Instruments recently introduced the fifth generation of OMAP processor types. OMP5 which will be introduced in two versions, OMAP5430 and OMAP5432 will be built with the 28nm semiconductor technology. Use of this technology will increase the energy efficiency of the processor. However, you will not find a Quad Core processor belonging to Texas Instruments. Two processor is a processor with ARM Cortex A15 architecture clocked at 2GHz.
That's an explanation of some of the chipset on Android smartphones, after Oprekers know the advantages and disadvantages of each chipset, Oprekers can determine which devices suit the tastes oprekers. Regards ...
