Hi,
So I have honor 6 H60_L04 rooted .
I have better battery stats installed.
When I look at the CPU states, the maximum state it goes to is only 1.3ghz. I know this phone has like dual quad core, 1 for heavy processing, another for daily/light activities.
I've tried using performance mode, running antutu benchmarks, but the 1.7ghz state doesn't seem to appear at all under the statistic.
I've also tried normal power state mode.
Do you know any idea how to activate the fasterr processor?

honor 6 has two sets of quadcore processors(arm big.little configuration)
the cpu apps shows only the frequencies of little i.e, the little 1.3ghz processor and not the bigger 1.7ghz set
see cpu z app if you have any doubts
I believe the kirin architecture uses 4 cortex A15 cores and four energy efficient A7 cores. During normal use the A7s run at a max of 1.3ghz (fine for general use) and the A15 cores are under clocked. Then for intensive use (gaming etc) the A15 cores run at 1.7ghz
Here is an attached screen shot of my cpu-z
At the bottom of the screen, it says interactive governor.
But i did plenty of antutu benchmarks. Shouldn't that work the A15 cores to 1.7ghz? Or is better battery stats not showing me the second quadruple cores states?

More than likely BBS only reading the A7 cores. In CPU-Z for example, if I constantly click the square task button in the navigation bar and then click CPU-Z I can see the speed go up to 1.7Ghz.
Also until/unless Huawei release the kernel source there won't be any ability to overclock unfortunately... which is frustrating as the A15 can easily be clocked to 2GHz :crying:

Coool.. Thanks alot! The A15 does go up to 1.5Ghz+++ when i spam the screen or buttons while in CPU-Z. So it is BBS then that is not tracking the A15 cores. Thanks agaiN!
i checked this during heavy gaming
The 2.1ghz cores appear nowhere
I'm not convinced you understand how this works.
Let me ask you a question, if the other cores "worked", would you notice ANY difference in your game? The answer is no. Why waste more power to do the same thing?

The lower cores of 1.5 are used for more mundain things and lighter usage. The higher cores of 2.1 kick in for more demanding activities such as heavy multi tasking. Gaming etc

To further what reubenskelly1992 said, 4 of the cores are optimised for lower power usage for general day to day tasks (think of a laptop, all nice and cozy, not doing too much because it's for on the road shizzle), and then you have the other 4 cores which are for beasting it through intensive workloads like games (think gaming PC, "Ecofriendly?!?!?! Energy conservation?!?!?! I GOT ENEMIES TO KILL!!!!!"). I had an Alienware laptop once that had two graphics cards. For much the same reason. An intel one for low energy, high battery life for when out and about. And an Nvidia card which I could switch to with a macro, to say good bye to power savings, hello frame rates!!
might have some thing to do with the governor also think its set to interactive as my s6 edge was set to that but rooted it and changed it to performance and the a57 kick in alot more
Ondemand is worth a try too
Hello,
It's been 10 days that I have a Z5. After testing all, I told myself I was going to test the core of Snapdragon following the "problems" of the z3 +.
I am quite troubled. I use Folding @ home to test the operation of cores. The 8 cores It Works together have only a few seconds. 6 core (4 A53 and A57 both) Few minutes. And after-3 minutes, only 4 A53 and 1 A57 at 800mhz Work. In games it is a bit the same. To this are normal ? For me it is not a true OctoCore. Do you think there will solutions to force the use all core ?
Thanks

In simple terms; it is down to the app to decide how many cores to use. The app is programmed in such a way to utilize X amount of cores. When you run older apps what were written for 1 and 2 core processor phones they will use 1 and 2 cores.
So yes, not using all cores is normal. When everybody is using an octo-core processor phone, apps will use all 8 cores at the most efficient level.

Thanks to you answer. But i kown that. Folding is an app that use all core. I think Sony quickly disables core to avoid overheating. For me it's not normal. Z5 never use 8 core more than few secondes
Slightly offtopic but is there many other apps that would use all cores to test?

Antutu will use all cores available to it but try running successive benchmarks and you'll soon notice that the scores drop lower and lower as the phone heats up. Now I don't know if cores are being disabled or the clocks are just lowered but either way, you can't use all 8 cores at full speed for long...

Yes agree. i'm slightly disappointed on this point. That all ^^
See now I just recently got the Z5 over my half broken z3 cause it's a 8 core vs the 4 core in the z3, but even with Antutu it only uses 4 cores, even when they're completely maxed out. I've pretty much gone from a 2.5 ghz cpu to a 1.5, it is they programs are not reading it or they're just not being used?
It's kind of infuriating really, if they won't be used ever I will send it back and get a higher clocked 4 core cpu phone.
Some times core 4 is used, slightly, would a custom rom be able to fix the issue with core not being used??
Benchmarking software should be able to max out all cores on a cpu.
I am looking to buy a tablet I come across 2 tablets which have intrigued me the xperia z3 compact and the nvidia shield k1. I liked them both for the specs and low price. The tablet will be used for surfing the internet, youtube, Facebook, games, watching movies things like that so I was wondering if someone who has both or has had experience can recommend me which one is better or if there is another tablet that is better suited for me.

I bought the Shield yesterday because I want to play games with.
But If I was not in this situation (more video/internet/app usage) I will definitively go for the Sony because despite the smaller battery she has better battery life and not a little it's like 10 hrs more in certain condition so very well optimized rom from sony.
But maybe I can fix the shield battery with a custom rom will see
The z3's bottleneck is the GPU.

If you set the Shield power mode to just 2 CPU cores, you'll get much more battery life.

And the shields interface remain smooth?
No problem for watching video and stuff or it start lagging?
It still runs smooth. You may sense a difference with highly demanding games. Or when you transcode videos.

You cannot disable cores on the k1. You can verify this with cpuz. Also the z3 compact tablet has a terrible processor combo by today's standards and doesn't come anywhere near the k1. It also does not have nvidia specific games, console mode, or gamestream (although this can be done with a 3rd party app call moonlight streaming). The speakers are also not as good and it will probably never get another update, ever. There is no reason to buy the sony tablet over the shield.

Then cpuz is apparently showing wrong data, I'd say.
Plenty apps have compatibility issues with a myriad of Android devices.

Unfortunately cpuz is accurate and you cannot disable any cores on the shield tablet, despite what the UI might be telling you.

Ill run antutu for you right now, 2 and then 4 cores, and post the results. I assure you the cores will all be active no matter what. They are always firing no matter what you do.
The benchmarks do indicate that there is a performance hit, surprisingly. I ran a total of 8 benchmarks to be sure. I am not sure exactly what is happening, but the cores are not being turned off, that's for sure. You can verify this with any CPU monitoring app, I tried 5 different ones and they all said the same thing. I think maybe when you force the CPU into 2 core mode, it may under clock two of the cores or something, but not disable them. It's helpful to know that the option at least does something and is not just there and fake lol. However like I mentioned in another post of mine, setting the performance mode to custom to enable only two cores, will perform worse for battery like than just using optimized. Forcing two cores for individual games, might be helpful however, but probably not by much. As you can see from the following benchmarks, the scores are not halved by disabling half the cores, they are only slightly reduced. Not exactly sure what's going on, but may look into it further in the near future.
Benchmark 1 - two cores enabled:
CPU: 18378
Benchmark 2 - two cores enabled:
CPU: 18374
Benchmark 3 - four cores enabled:
CPU: 22660
Benchmark 4 - four cores enabled:
CPU: 22409

Under what kind of conditions would that be? Engadget's review says 13.5 to 14 hours for their continuous video loop test, and they estimate 10 hours in "real world" use conditions.
https://www.engadget.com/2015/01/11/sony-xperia-z3-tablet-compact-review/
I get around 7 hours of screen-on time with my Shield, running stock and not messing with the cores.
The Sony tablet's battery life is impressive, for sure. But to say a 10 hour difference, is probably an overstatement.
This thread makes me wonder (yet again) where are the tablets? I know the tablet market is pretty stagnant, but its still a bit ridiculous that we are sitting here comparing a tablet from 2015 versus one from 2014. NVIDIA shelved its plan to update the Shield tablet this year. Not much else on the market. On the higher end, Samsung neglected to update its Galaxy Tab S2 this year.

So under what circumstances will you switch to 2 core mode to save battery? The tablet has great battery until it fires up a game and there's not much you're going to do about gaming battery life.

Switching over to 2 cores during a movie will likely cost you battery due to the fact that the minimum clock speed for custom is much higher than the minimum clock speed for optimized.
Hi there! Any devs here?
Maybe anyone knows why in few games Adreno CANT BE on 100% usage?
For example: my phone is Pocophone F1. SD845, Adreno 630. Usage in any benchmark at 100%. Minecraft: 414 Mhz (instead of 710 Mhz - max for MIUI kernel), 80%, 50% usage in total.
At the same moment Mali at 100% usage with a LOT bigger FPS. Same with GTA:SA, possibly Modern Combat 5. What's happening? Any fix?
Maybe game devs should do something like PC game devs do?: (enable NVidia Optimus, bad example btw) vOptimusEnablement = 0x00000001 (just an example).
P.S. Oops, forgot. Throttling disabled, 5 minutes in CPU Throttle Test shows no difference (5min enough for this because the game started lag at the whole start).
All programming instructions ( whether they are graphic information or not ) are first processed by the CPU: if the CPU recognizes that they are graphics commands, they are delegated to the GPU. Unlike a CPU - which has only a few cores - a GPU has hundreds of cores.
Throttling the CPU only makes things worse.

As i said there's NO throttle. Fully disabled. That's happening on any Kernel. Idk what is this, Adreno-related thing, no problems at Mali with that.

Of course. Maybe Adreno-drivers need something for this? To say to CPU "Hey, this is an application that needs a lot of GPU power"?

An app neither speaks to CPU nor to GPU: an app's program code gets loaded into RAM, then read in from there by CPU and sequentially processed.
What are you talking about, lol? The game cannot use GPU. It needs something. Maybe some function to call, idk exactly.
You're speaking about completely another thing that i know for almost 12 years, lmao.
Still waiting for any answer. Few games cannot load a GPU. Only on Adreno, Mali GPUs are good.
My last 2 cents here:
A GPU is a processor with hundreds of cores: a game never can load a GPU, it only makes use of it.
For an ideal situation, your device's CPU usage should remain in the 60% to 80% range (up to 90%), and device's GPU usage at 99% or 100%. One of the main causes of low GPU usage is due to CPU bottleneck. It means that you have an under-powered CPU that is not able to keep up with GPU's performance.
A temporary workaround for this problem is to raise a game's resolution to highest if you haven’t done it already. This will cause device's GPU to work more and it will have much higher utilization than before.
Take note that not all games use all the CPU cores. It can be possible that you are getting high usage on two cores only, and others are just not used at all. AFAIK GTA SA makes use of only 2 cores, COD also makes use of only 2 cores, , but PUBG makes use of 4 cores,
What the hell are you talking about?
Is there any CPU bottleneck im talking about?
NO. NO. AND NO. ADRENO-RELATED, HUH?
Pls, stop it, my chair burns. You dont understand a single thing that i need - ADRENO CANT HANDLE A GAME.
Looks like a joke...
Actually, I'm not interested in your problem at all.
Your posts show that you don't understand how CPU and GPU work together.
Here I'll explain it to you:
The GPU's memory consists of a series of registers. These permit the CPU to access the GPU's memory and instruct the GPU to perform operations. It's the CPU what loads the graphics instructions ( OpenGL ES ) to get executed into GPU's memory.
Simplified: the CPU feeds the GPU.
