I hope they get multi core soon.
How do you mean? In the article it says “The Kirin 9000C is an octa-core CPU with 12 threads and a 2.48 GHz frequency”
If they had a single thread CPU that could compete with Alder Lake that would be fantastic, I could finally live out my dream of dolphin-emu running perfectly.octa-core CPU with 12 threads
Slow but still impressive.
Why do you say it’s slow? Are there benchmarks?
2 ghz is slow
It’s 2.48GHz. If that’s slow depends on how much work is done per update. In absolute terms, giga means milliard. 109. It’s a very high number. For context, ARM Cortex A520 updates at 2Ghz (Though it’s designed to be paired with a Cortex X4 which can update at 3GHz). A520 is brand new and used in Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm’s top product.
The clock rate isn’t a wholistic performance indicator. It describes how often the CPU core can perform an action. But imagine a scenario where one CPU can do something that another CPU needs to do in steps. Then the more basic CPU needs to run faster by a factor corresponding to the number of extra steps. That very quickly becomes infeasible as electricity (and heat) will also scale by the same factor.
