Android Multi threaded / core usage and efficiency

I have always wonder, how well dose android leverage multi core SOCS? I know from being a PC hardware geek that most developers are terrible and using all the power in multi core CPU's. I understand that in benches all the cores are used, but how often are task spread out over the cores in real life usage. My theory is that they are barely used yet I have no evidence to promote this.

Depends on the governor settings but they definitely use all cores a lot by default.
Install system monitor lite and see for yourself

Do you think this would scale well onto the 8 core SOCS? I was just wondering if they really offered good real life performance rather than just good benchmarks

Weird. I was just wondering this myself, mainly because I just dont know what kind of specs it would take to have me use something other than my N5 and I am a phone-whore.

There aren't many tasks that need more than 2 cores active at a time. Gaming is one of the few times a 3rd core will kick in from what I've seen.
Traditionally, encoding benefits a lot from multiple cores but that isn't a task people usually attempt on their mobile.

You said that it will trigger the third core while gaming. I have a Nexus 5 and it lags in a specific have game. Idon't think my Nexus is trigering all the cores as it happens on my PC with the same application. On pc All cores goes to 90% as i don't have a graphics card. On Nexus i can't get the game to run on 100% even when i drop down all the quality over performance. I know that the device can handle this game. It's just a bootle neckle a believe. It's running stock rom stock kernle On demand governor. It should trigger all the cores.....i'm very sad with that too as i have bought the device manly for use like this.

Which game are you talking about? Once the phone starts heating up within about 20-30minutes it will begin to thermal throttle the CPU cores and clock speeds.

I'm talking about Digimon Adventure (1.5GB rom) on PPSSPP it's not the only game that i'm having this problem. And i'm pretty sure that nexus is not "taking it serious". From the beggning of the game you can see it already laggin. When i zoom out and the back ground bacames large it goes around to 50% when have about 6 NPCs on the screen it hapens too. When battling its pretty unstable. Some times ti can take up to 200% and some time to 90 again on the same screen in 3 seconds just changing the perpective of the camera.
@update i have take the screenshots from system monitor.

That's an issue with the ROM and emulation. It's very common for emulated games to have frame rate issues and you probably need to play around with the render settings. Nothing to do with our phone specifically, check other forums for more advice on the subject.

See the images above. My cpu goes only to maximium of 50% on the emulator. I have been playng other things and i feel that my device is getting some kind of botttle neck.

Did you down clock your CPU? If not, it's probably an issue with the emulated PSP ROM. You can play around with the emulator's render settings to try and get smoother game play but I am no expert on the subject.

Never.....my Phone is all Stock. And CPU -Z says it is in On the demand governor. The emulator does support a incrediblle variety of multi threaded process like inputs and process. These features are optional and when i turn the process multithread on, it slow down a litle more. i believe that it occurs because of the limitation of the 2 cores and the Android not allowing it to use the others. The emulator have a version for PC. The same emulator does multithread on my I3 Quad core 3.1GHz.

Overheating and low benchmark scores after Marshmallow update

So I updated my H955 to Marshmallow a couple days ago and the phone runs lag free. However, it gets pretty hot up to 43 degrees. Furthermore, ANTUTU scores are lower than ever. The best I got was 69K. On average I'm getting 62K with 14K score on CPU. Back when my H955 was on 5.1.1 v15c I got 80K max and 69K average with CPU scores averaging around 20K. Even on Geekbench I used to get slightly higher score. Because of the overheating quick charge does not always work either. What should i do? BTW I used the Orange KDZ to update. I have the unlocked H955 EU variant.

No need to create new thread to tell the same as in other MM threads. And it's not overheating. Benchmark scores also doesnt matter, what matters is more snappy user experience we have with MM and actual overheating is gone.

Hi, in my case there aren't any over heat, AnTuTu score it's in line with previously 15e rom.

Can confirm. It overheats less in my opinion than with 5.1.1,but antutu score is just the same,but i dont care too much about it.

Before you make a new thread, read the other ones. This issue has been posted all over the other thread...
Just do a clean install of MM, if that doesn't solve the issue, downgrade already. It's not that big of a deal to wait for a few more days, if your phone doesn't react well on the Orange KDZ.

you need to make clear flash not upgrade i made the same mistake first and my phone was getting hot even with using viber after i make clear flash is not getting hot even when i use him with charger

Can you uploaded somewhere else?My download everytime stops with network fail.

It is because MM still using the old thermal settings. It still shut down two cores when I run Antutu Benchmark. But anyway, I feel 6.0.1 is much more better than 5.1.1.

v20c
I have been using v20c for months. Phone still overheats upto 48c and battery life is weak. Such a letdown!

[Question]2 cores are working only?

Guys can you check in your phone how many cores are working at a time? I see only two cores working at a time and i think they are the slower ones
Any impact coz of this?

i have checked with cpu-x app and all 4 cores are working simultaniously

Firmware ver.? Single sim or dual SIM?

Ive noticed this aswell on 7.0, and my antutu score went down from around 139000 on 6.0 to around 127000 on 7.0. I would say its a huge performance loss. But real life performance i havent noticed any difference, but not in batterlife either so id rather have my cores back.

Same issue here, I tested with CPU-Z and CPU-X and is the same result, only 2 cores working.
Firmware: .327 (Nougat)
Region: Malaysia
Model: F8332
So, I think that is a bug of the reads, beacuse if you perform a Benchmark, the results are the same that when you use Marshmallow (with 4 cores).

Might be possible... I hope this is the case

No, i tested with benchmark software, it is 40% lesser mark compare the 6.0
I feel lag after updated to nougat.
And my old z3 is faster than XZ now.
Used to have at least 120k marks.

i'm on 7.0 nougat and on antutu i did 144.000. It's good? which is the best score for the xz?

7.0 39.2.A.0.361 Orange MCV FR/ES/PL/SK/RO
I was suprised to hear that so i've been testing my device with antutu, usually core 2 and 3 ( max 2150mhz) are off, but i think it's probably due to nougat update, once i saw them all working for a sec.
My scores are between 147k and 115k.
First highest score with rather cool device, room temperature 24C, WIFI, BT, internet connection, NFC, Auto rotation: OFF, screen brightness on- set to minimum.
After few tests device got hotter and scores dropped to about 125k. Then i tried to push it to the limit, all ON, screen brightness auto-set to max. Score dropped to 115k.
So throttling is there definitively. Score around 130k can show how device will behave in normal use and it is fast as it should be. In case of my device, battery life has improved but it might be placebo effect

After update to latest nougat, the another 2cpu is back, but only for some minutes.

I just updated the cpu-z, and it is showing all 4 cores working, at 2.15ghz can't make a screen shot because it is moving quickly to 1.5 or it stops.
Edit: forgot too say that I'm using stock rom, 7.0........ 39.2.A.0.374.

Checked and sadly I got the same problem :'(. Hope they fix it soon.

Um... So what kind of CPU load are you putting on your phone in order to make all 4 cores to work simultaneously? In other words, why are you expecting to see all 4 cores active in CPU-Z in the first place?
If your phone has nothing serious to do at the time, then even 2 cores being active is too much. You should see only 1.

I tried play high end game - HIT and switched to see, CPUZ still showed only 2 cores are active.
While after 30 mins-45 mins of playing, it became laggy and not responding until I restart that game.

You can also check your chip bin by going through the download mode. Mine is all 10 out of 15 I guess

Thanks for the information. What names you say snapdragon will be faster this year?
That battery life indication isn't realistic at all after all those benchmarks. Should be much better when using normally.
This year thought this phone is boring me. Mine comes tomorrow but i feel dead about it. Will probably go back unless battery surprises me in a good way

yep i usually dont use AOD but since i was busy benchmarking and some other stuff didnt tune the phone to my likings yet and AOD will definetly be off

looks like the NDA is up, reviews are flooding in for US/SD845 units

So first full charge today looks alright as it's the same usage I had on my s8 in the beginning minus AOD.

AntutuView attachment 4441948

Ok so here's my first full charging cycle results

Now here's another shot with 4G only and exact same set up and apps as before. Aod on all the time. I turned airplane mode on @2am then off @8am

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKq6r2QggMk
Always preferred the Exynos and this guy has the qualifications to know what he's talking about. If anything it looks like they may under-clock the Exynos to the Snapdragon can keep up

They did under lock it but I think it's because of the battery/power consumption. When the device was tested on geekbench before the launch, lowest frequency was clocked at 1.9 and highest at 2.9 they lowered them by 200mhz each but it reached 9250 on those values. I think we will unlock them when custom kernels show up

Having various mixed results..
Still better then the SD version, not sure why the OP said it will be the opposite this year.

Again look at other benchmarks ie gfxbench, webxprt speedometer etc

Well, theres a known scheduler bug, which maybe/not will be fixed with the upcoming March update. This should fix these problems.

@AndreiLux is looking at it maybe he will find something or maybe he won't we'll see. I didn't get the march update yet.

I'm not sure if maybe I'm misunderstanding something or not --- but aI thought all the talk was about what a giant step forward the Exynos device new processor was supposed to be -- thus making the Exynos far out perform the Snap this year ??

It is twice as fast as in single core performance and 10-20% faster than the sd845 in CPU but GPU is underwhelming maybe it will be fixed by a software

Guess it's a governor bug or the Exynos is borked.

Antutu Benchmarking Problem

I have just bought this Mi MIX 2S yesterday, ad after an update I tried to benchmark the device using Antutu. Somehow, after numerous trials, I could only get the score hovering between 155.000 - 175.000 (versus the anticipated 260.000). I even tried turning off all connection and rebooting. Do anyone encountered the same issue and is there any justifiable cause for this low benchmark score ?
Thanks in advance.

i have same problem,score 180000 ,maybe bug of last version on antutu?

Just don't care about the antutu score... Do you notice a difference in daily use? If not than it's not important that antutu shows a different score

Agree, benchmark are only for fun, real use is more important. Consider that benchmark can be influenced from temperature.

Might be the firmware hindering the app from dragging highest device performance

...Put your phone for 5 minutes in the fridge. Start the test. Keep it in the fridge while the test runs. Take it out of the fridge. And voilà: a new high score star is born...

Getting low score on 3dmark (3K instead of 4500) and when I play highest graphics on PUBG Mobile it's not smooth as other Snapdragon 845 devices

I have the same problem with rom 9.5.20.0
It is a real performance problem, it affects CPU but not GPU
Just receiving it had the correct performance, after a few days under drastically and to test it against Geekbench, it gave me less than 2000 single core and less than 7000 multi core (normal values ??for that test in mix 2s are 2400+ and 9000+ )
I did a hard reset and received the normal points and adequate performance for a few days (even starting at 37 degrees, the temperature has nothing to do in this matter)
Notice slight drop in performance and pass the tests again and again it did not exceed 180k antutu and 2000/7000 GeekBench, the mobile started completely cold
It gives me less CPU performance than a mobile with Snapdragon 820 that I have out there and I feel scammed.
If this is not solved with MIUI 10 it will be the last Xiaomi device that I bought, I already sold an MI5S because with updates I turned off 2 cores with a super restrictive thermal and even so it got hotter and definitely worked worse
I'm very disappointed

Like said previously benchmark are only for joke, you must see effective performance in daily use, I tried now another test with latest Xiaomi EU build and received around 240.000 points, yesterday same build around 194.000, now over 267.000.
I had that result without modify nothing so I think depend from many factors, like temperature, apps running in background and other.

Incredible...."Antutu Benchmarking Problem". WOW!
Yesterday I saw someone posting something like "broken performance". Geeeez.
People ignore what they see in person and rather believe in a program KNOWN to be manipuluted as hell by manufacturers.
Back then they all said Antutu is Bull****. It seems since the day they learned how "to play" Antutu...they are even going public with numbers they created.
No doubt....it´s always good and nice to see the performance you feel in numbers by a benchmark. But please people stop the madness and THINK about it.
Other than that 9.5.19+20 are known to give bad results with antutu.
I couldn´t care less. Best proof for antutu being nonsense is...install MIUI 10 latest Beta....and feel the speed of it....(it is just a little tad snappier to me). But Antutu Score is pretty stable 260tsd+ !
(mine is 128gb/6gb)
Anyway I´d advice you to try that Beta....I find it really decent and has really nice new features.
You may happend to have a different use case and experience bad bad problems not yet fixed...then bad luck for you. I´m really lucky with it currently.

Yesterday I saw someone posting something like "broken performance". Geeeez.
People ignore what they see in person and rather believe in a program KNOWN to be manipuluted as hell by manufacturers.
Back then they all said Antutu is Bull****. It seems since the day they learned how "to play" Antutu...they are even going public with numbers they created.
No doubt....it´s always good and nice to see the performance you feel in numbers by a benchmark. But please people stop the madness and THINK about it.
Other than that 9.5.19+20 are known to give bad results with antutu.
I couldn´t care less. Best proof for antutu being nonsense is...install MIUI 10 latest Beta....and feel the speed of it....(it is just a little tad snappier to me). But Antutu Score is pretty stable 260tsd+ !
(mine is 128gb/6gb)
Anyway I´d advice you to try that Beta....I find it really decent and has really nice new features.
You may happend to have a different use case and experience bad bad problems not yet fixed...then bad luck for you. I´m really lucky with it currently.

Agree for all the words, benchmarks are only a joke, i tried also on other devices like OnePlus 5, with some roms and kernels i had less points but the device is fast like hell.

Thanks guys for all the help and opinions that you expressed ^^
After a while I stopped giving crap about benchmarking (except when I want to fiddle with ROMs of course). I opted in for Android P beta and I got like 280k+ so really I'm basically relieved and going all-in testing the device
I also agreed that MIUI 10 is pure satisfaction too ~~~ can't wait for the build that based on Android P :3

I know how to fix
Everyone should read my thread: (Rooted) improve performance. I tried and successed!

I have just bought this Mi MIX 2S yesterday, ad after an update I tried to benchmark the device using Antutu. Somehow, after numerous trials, I could only get the score hovering between 155.000 - 175.000 (versus the anticipated 260.000). I even tried turning off all connection and rebooting. Do anyone encountered the same issue and is there any justifiable cause for this low benchmark score ?
Thanks in advance.

I fixed. But my phone may be hotter 5 degrees. Do u think it is worth to pay?

Sorry, I think this is just bull****.
Rooting has absolutely NO influence on performance whatsoever if you don´t use root access to manupulate kernel settings.
This is just a bad case of a false positive.
Just running latest Beta10 prooves this is nonsense since I have no root and same performance
Even pretty stable...each of my three attempts on Beta10 gave similar results 260tsd+.
Global Stable instead gives bad results in Antutu but shows how obsolete Antutu is because Beta10 is just a tad faster....SURE not 260tsd+ versus 160tsd. Antutu is CRAP!

Haha

I'm sure u DONT know whatever thing of rooting. Haha

running on Global MIUI 10 Beta 8.7.12 and Antutu score was 260k - but the phone doesnt feel any different from the MIUI 9 Global Stable that had "only" 170k.
not sure if performance testing is doing anything for real world usage?

I have a real benchmarking problem! Antutu, 3dmark, GFXBench crashes after random time. Trying on different FW (official global: stable miui 9, stable miui 10, dev miui 10 (android 8), dev miui 10 (android 9)) also trying xiaomi.eu frimware. Same result. CPU temperature during tests is not getting higher than 54.
