Preview to AnTuTu Benchmark & 3DRating V4.0

Different hardwares are adopted into one Android smart phone. While same version Android OS is adopted into different Android phones, you can hardly figure out which Android phone is better than the other one, by only read the hardware configurations manual. AnTuTu Benchmark is the right solution which can conduct overall device benchmark with direct result to Android smart phones.

Comparing with other Benchmark Apps which only execute performance benchmarking to single device component, and give scores which just reflect performance to one part of the whole mobile device, AnTuTu Benchmark can provide you clear impression with direct benchmarking score to all components which may impact performance of Android smart phones.

We AnTuTu Labs rebuilds benchmarking standard in our coming AnTuTu Benchmark 4, and adds benchmark to User Experience especially. AnTuTu Benchmark promises of not serving any mobile phone manufacturers, but stands as an independent benchmark for all individual users.

Introduction to Benchmark Contents to AnTuTu Benchmark 4

1. User Experience

Comparing to the AnTuTu Benchmark V3.0, we add benchmark to User Experience in version 4, besides the current benchmark to CPU, GPU, Memory and I/O.

Why we add benchmark to User Experience?

Currently, the traditional benchmark apps run benchmarking tests with the ultimate value of device components, but no apps work with such high frequency. However, the data from tests to User Experience can clearly give users an impression to the operation efficiency of Android smart phones. This is an important content to measure performance of Android phones, and AnTuTu Benchmark is the first benchmarking app which adopts this into the whole benchmarking system.

There are TWO test items in benchmarking project to User Experience: MultiTask and Dalvik.

MultiTask is a test item based on simulation to daily user operations. In test process of MultiTask, different threats shall be enabled, and influences come from system memory, bandwidth allocation, as well as influences caused by other factors must take into the benchmarking system. We think such simulation project is very reasonable, and very close to the daily operations of individual users. We hope we can build a good test matrix which is much closer to users’ daily operations.

So, the benchmark score in MultiTask test can reflect the real performance while your Android phone executing multitasks. We should clearly know that the multi-core CPU is designed for executing multi-tasks.

To reflect the ultimate performance of smart phone hardware, original NDK codes is the primary choice to all benchmark apps. But we should know that most apps only take Dalvik codes in programming. So, the performance of Dalvik in Android OS is also an important aspect which influences User Experience.

Benchmark to Dalvik is adopted into AnTuTu Benchmark V4, as part of tests to User Experience.

This test can let all users know the optimization to Android system, and know which vendor does better. Even work with same CPU, the benchmark score must be different, since different optimizations adapted into ROMs by each vendor.

2. CPU

AnTuTu Benchmark 4 now supports octa-cores CPU.

We always keep in touch with the leading technology in smart phone hardware, and give users the performance result to the latest invention. The Octa-cores CPU is released to public in 2013; users can easily get benchmark score to devices with it build-in. Do the core numbers represent overall performance of smart phones? We may give you more reference in future observation report. 

Here you may ask: How many cores should the best CPU have?

Right now, we also have no idea to this question.

We may reach the first performance result while Octa-cores CPU released to public. But, AnTuTu Benchmark is the first one who supports CPU with more powerful performance.

3. GPU

AnTuTu Benchmark 4 now supports the latest OpenGL ES 3.0.

To start tests item as OpenGL ES 3.0, you may need a smart phone with Android 4.3 OS, and hardware which supports OpenGL ES 3.0, as well as the new AnTuTu 3DRating Benchmark v4.0, since the OpenGL ES 2.0 still build in AnTuTu Benchmark v4.0.

AnTuTu 3DRating Benchmark v4 is especially designed for performance tests to 3D graphics. This app must work more accurate than other GPU benchmark apps, since the AnTuTu 3DRating Benchmark is designed for mobile devices, and we have run accurate calculations to all test contents, to make sure what you see is same as what you shall get in real game.

There is a completely new scene in 3DRating Benchmark. We take lots of real-time lighting and rendering effects into the scene to benchmarking the calculation ability of GPU.

We clearly know that the new games adopt shader for the calculations of most special effects, apart from the way of mapping. So, in the new 3D benchmarking test, we enable the GPU to seek its real performance for games.

There are two models in 3DRating Benchmark, as are: Normal and Extra. All mobile devices can run benchmark in Normal model, and you can also run with Extra model if you think that your device is the best one of the whole world.

4. Memory and I/O

In AnTuTu Benchmark V4, we classify benchmark to Memory into RAM Operation and RAM Speed. And we merge test items “SDCARD Read” and “SDCARD Write" into the new improved I/O test. So now, we present you the much more accurate benchmark scores to RAM and SDCARD.

If you cannot get a clear idea about our new benchmark contents in AnTuTu Benchmark V4, AnTuTu Labs also provide you simple way to understand the performance of your Android smart phone device. AnTuTu Labs shall add its own comments based on real tests to each certificated Android smart phone. So, the users can easily get comments to device general performance, game performance, as well as battery performance.

As an independent benchmark app developer, AnTuTu Labs builds the new AnTuTu Benchmark V4, and give all users a new smart device benchmarking standard. Soon, you shall be able to see AnTuTu Benchmark in AppStore, and Microsoft Store.

We hope all users can find out their right smart phones. And thanks to all AnTuTu fans.
