The oneplus 2 performs very similar to the original model due to overheating of the snapdragon 810

The arrival of the OnePlus 2 is approaching and little by little we are learning new details about the new smartphone. Now we have known that despite having a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, its performance will be very similar to that of the OnePlus One, do you want to know why? Keep reading.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor is manufactured in 20nm and was supposed to be a monster in power, however Qualcomm has encountered an obstacle that they have not been able to overcome, the heat generated by the chip.

This processor consists of four Cortex A57 cores and another four Cortex A53 along with an Adreno 430 GPU, a combination that is assumed to be very powerful but has the drawback of generating too much heat, resulting in overheating of the chip and the smartphone that mounts it, Solution? Lower frequencies… and performance.

The new OnePlus 2 mounts its Snapdragon 810 v2.1 and has been subjected to the AnTuTu benchmark, this new revision of the chip was supposed to have no temperature problems and it seems that Qualcomm engineers have managed to avoid overheating although in a way that did not Users like it… layering the processor and limiting its performance. Such is the situation that the new OnePlus 2 barely exceeds 50, 000 points on AnTuTu, a figure very similar to that obtained by the OnePlus One with its "old" Snapdragon 801.

A much lower figure than that obtained by the Samsung Galaxy S6, which scores more than 67, 000 points with its Exynos 7420 processor manufactured by Samsung itself at 14nm FinFET. Even the OnePlus One comes very close, too much to be more than a year apart between both terminals.
