Already in Samsung galaxy7 it contains a GPU that full supports Vulkan full Api! https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/820 That is the main thing .also take a look at the Ram access speed, and smartphones this year are going to already ship with 8GB of ram! If you go with A80 single board computing boards pico-itx design boards they are already past the xbox360 & PS3 and the cost is quite a bit cheaper. $72.00 boards brand new. There is no doubt what Arm holdings is saying is Quite true. |
The allwinner A80 is a complete joke. It is used by no major smartphone/tablet manufacturers and is design to be used in multimedia/cable boxes with active coolong and a plugged in power supply not mobile at all. Futher the A80 is less than a third as powerful as the PS3 dont know where your knowledge comes from.
Allwinner A80
- 68 gigaflops of single precision floating point performance
- 14.9 GB/s memory bandwidth
- A15 & A7 glued together in attempt to increase performance
PS3
- 228.8 gigaflops of single precision loating point performance
- 25.6 GB/s memory bandwidth
- Word's first 'APU' like hybrid architecture. R&D used by Sony/AMD to later develop APUs
- Cell single precision floating point performance is almost as high as the entire A80 chip (23.04 gigaflops for the CPU only)
In what sane world is the A80 even remotely close to performing close to the PS3?
