Hi.
Would the Xperia X be faster than the Xperia Z5?
As when I ran a benchmark on my Z5, it had thermal throttling so the score went down to approx. 70,000.
So then I put it on a ice block and I got a score of 103,000 on antutu. (The CPU and GPU scores went down when it was thermal throttling, and the others had stayed the same)
So, that had me wondering if a Xperia X that was not thermal throttling would be faster than my Xperia Z5 that was thermal throttling.
What do you think? Should I keep the hot Z5 or get a cool Xperia X?
Many thanks

The difference between them is pretty small, but SD810 is a flagship SoC, while SD650 is a midrange one. On the other hand, X is supported by SODP, and with the release of k4.9 it'll be even faster than before. So, you can choose Z5 if you don't care about custom ROMs and such OR you can take X and be happy with a slightly slower SoC but much more potential.

from the angle of hardware z5 is always better !

what's the differnce btw. OC vs non OC ? thanks

Overclocking is to increase your processors clock speed. The processor comes with a fixed clock speed which is mentioned in it's specs (1 GHz, 1.5GHz etc). OCing is to increase this speed past the fixed or 'stock' value to achieve better performance from the phone. Generally, if a phone has a fast enough processor out of the box, you won't notice much of a difference OCing. The main performance gain will be seen in benchmark tests. But if you have a slow processor, it'll make a difference to usability. Since more processing power = more electrical power, it causes greater battery drain and also reduces the life of the processor in the long run, because it heats up more and there's no cooling apparatus in a phone unlike a computer. A little OCing is fine, but overdoing it continuously will damage your processor. My phone is rated for 1 GHz but OCed to 1.15 GHz. It can go uptown 2 GHz max, but like I said, not good. OCing depends on the kernel of the phone. Stock kernels do not support it, but almost every custom kernel supports it. A non OCed device is one which is running at the stock frequency designated for it.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
with OC, ur processor xtra hard working. ur hh rapidly heat, battery drain faster...
so don't do it if u only using hh for simple app (except u want play HD's Games)
sorry for my bad english...
Hello guys,
I bought this phone about two days after release and was pretty happy with it. It felt like the Snapdragon 810 didn't overheat at all and the performance was far better than on my "old" Z3.
Reason enough for me to try PPSSPP and emulate some good old games. For example MHP3rd ran at 100% speed in every area in-game with no frameskip activated.
But after some time (I'd say 20-30 mins) the cpu throttled a lot. The game speed was only at 50% even though the device didn't feel THAT hot (I've seen/felt hotter ones).
I tried the same thing again with the app "CPU Temp", and it seems like the CPU temperature never exceeded about 58°C. I'm not sure about smartphone CPUs but as far as I know, most chips can take up to 80-90°C until they start throttling. My Z5c runs at 52-58°C perfectly fine, but suddenly starts throttling for some reason.
Is it the CPU governor that tries to save battery life? I'd probably need to root the phone to "fix" this, but there are no roots available yet.
Or is it something else? Is the max. cpu temperature set too low? Could it be the S810 has no real temperature sensor and CPU Temp shows me something completely different?
Thanks in advance!

I think that Sony it's throttling the CPU more to be below 58°C than to save battery life.
Try with the latest firmware (released today at PC Companion) it seems to be a little more snappier (maybe its a placebo).
I don't know why because the kernel is from the same date.
I consider that they should let the phone gain 65°C to increase the performance (at heat cost).

Hey there, I have M4 Aqua freshly rooted. I changed the Governor in SetCPU to Performance on CPU and set it up to max frequencies on the 4 big Cores (1495MHz Min./Max.) and the 4 LITTLE cores (1113MHz Min./Max.). The CPU is Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939. But the problem is that when I launch any CPU demanding program or game, the phone only uses the power-saving 4 LITTLE cores. Is there any way to lock the whole device only to the 4 powerful big Cores or to just adjust them to be active when in program/game?
Thanks alot for asnwering, I would be really happy with any solution.
Use Kernel Auditor to set the LITTLE cores and BIG cores to performance. The kernel that the M4 currently has is poorly optimized for handling tasks across it's 8 cores, so this is a temporary fix until it's (hopefully) updated.
The soc is the problem, even the moto x play have similar problems with performance
I have a script for disabling and locking 4 small cores, and performance is way better i will try to make it flashable zip and upload here

Does disabling the small cores affect the max performance much?

I tried to disable the small LITTLE cores today but the performance was decreased by at least 10% and the temperatures are still the same after 15-20 mins. of gaming - 70-80°C which lags the device.

Funny enough, I'm experiencing massive performance (in terms of smoothness and responsiveness) after disabling all 4 LITTLE cores. Use the OnDemand Governor for the big cores.
Still not working, it's probably the phone's problem. I mean the overheating, it's still around 70-80°C when gaming, the games and programs stutter.
For some time now my Xperia Tablet Z has been feeling a bit slow to load web pages. After some performance profiling I came to the conclusion that the problem is its Javascript performance. Many web sites nowadays use large amounts of Javascript to build up their content and this is reflected poorly on browser processing times. For example, on a Finnish news site www.yle.fi the script processing on my Xperia Tablet Z usually takes something like 15-20 seconds whereas on my Xperia Z5 Compact it seems to take roughly half that time.
To get some comparable figures I ran some online Javascript benchmarks and here are the results:
sunspider-0.9.1 (lower times are better) :
Xperia Tablet Z ~ 2400 - 2700 ms
Xperia Z5 Compact ~ 1000 - 1400 ms
JetStream 1.1 (higher scores are better) :
Xperia Tablet Z ~ 14
Xperia Z5 Compact ~ 27 - 36
I did try these benchmarks on both Chrome and Firefox and there is no significant difference between the two. I'm currently running crDroidAndroid 3.7.
I'm wondering if these performance figures are in the right ballpark and therefore it would be nice to have some results from other owners of Xperia Tablet Z for comparison. In addition to the benchmark results, please include information on which ROM / kernel you are currently running. Thanks in advance!
The hardware in tablet remains the same all the time, while workload increase constantly.
So there should be no surprise, that it takes long for tablet to process information.
On RR 5.8.4 with built-in kernel, i got 2477ms in SunSpider | 15.238 in JetStream in chrome-based browser, so your results are in the same ballpark as mine.
I have the Xperia Z1 compact, which has a 4 core processor. If I use Kernel Auditor to limit usage to 1 core only, would this improve battery life or make it worse?
