AnTuTu 9 Benchmark

The AnTuTu 9 benchmark is very well suited to measuring the performance of a smartphone. AnTuTu 9 is quite heavy on 3D graphics and can now also use the "Metal" graphics interface. In AnTuTu, memory and UX (user experience) are also tested by simulating browser and app usage. AnTuTu version 9 can compare any ARM CPU running on Android or iOS. Devices may not be directly comparable when benchmarked on different operating systems.

In the AnTuTu 9 benchmark, the single-core performance of a processor is only slightly weighted. The rating is made up of the multi-core performance of the processor, the speed of the working memory, and the performance of the internal graphics.

Description of the processor

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G is a processor manufactured with a structure width of 6 nanometers and was launched in the first quarter of 2022. This is a mobile processor that is used almost exclusively in smartphones and tablets. It is based on the Kryo 265 architecture and can only be operated with the Android operating system.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G consists of eight processor cores arranged in a hybrid big.LITTLE core architecture. Four of the eight cores are Kryo 265 Gold performance cores that clock at up to 2.40 gigahertz and the other four cores are Kryo 265 Silver efficiency cores that clock at up to 1.80 gigahertz. Hyperthreading is not supported by the processor and you cannot overclock the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G either.

The in-house Qualcomm Adreno 610 is integrated as the internal graphics unit in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G. Unfortunately, it is not known how many execution units this graphics unit has, but we were at least able to find out that it has 128 shader units. Unfortunately, the clock frequency is also not known, this is simply because Qualcomm is unfortunately very economical with the information about their graphics units. What we still know is that the Qualcomm Adreno 610 was installed for the first time in the second quarter of 2019 and that it is manufactured with a structure width of 11 nanometers. The graphics unit can use up to 4 gigabytes of the RAM built into the system as graphics memory.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G itself is equipped with 2 memory channels and can be equipped with up to 8 gigabytes of RAM. The processor supports LPDDR4X-4266 memory, which can achieve a memory bandwidth of up to 34.1 GB/s.
