Yes, the Pixel C is throtteling almost 50% if it is under stress more than a few minutes: https://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benchmark=gfx40&os=Android&api=gl&cpu-arch=ARM&hwtype=GPU&hwname=NVIDIA(R)%20Tegra(R)%20X1&did=28156617&D=Google%20Pixel%20C Manhattan 3.1 Benchmark first run = 19.9 fps, long-term performance = 10.7 fps T-Rex 2.0 Benchmark first run = 58.1 fps, long-term performance = 36.4 fps |
Welp that explains a lot, lol. The issue here is not just "performance" sure it's great your chip can hit a performance peak, but for portable devices, the problem is they cannot run at peak performance for very long. Not without destroying battery life and/or overheating.
The full clocked Maxwell Tegra X1 consumes 10 watts at peak, which is still waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too hot for a portable machine, keep in mind the LCD screen, CPU, RAM, WiFI antenna all need electricity on top of that also.
