While normally one could argue this is possibly due to newer drivers or other slight software improvements, I believe it to be caused by better thermal dissipation performance on the part of the Nexus 6P. Device ThermalsĪs mentioned earlier in the section, I pointed out that one should keep in mind the slight performance difference of the Nexus 6P compared to other Snapdragon 810 devices. Nevertheless, we see competitive performance given that we’re talking about an 8-month old SoC towards the end of its lifetime. The onscreen test paints a similar picture, the 1440p resolution of the device brings down the frames per seconds considerably. Again the Nexus 6P performs well in the off-screen test as we see it yet again jump ahead of the Android competition. Manhattan 3.0 is a more ALU heavy test with more shader effects and thus represents a different kind of load compared to the T-Rex test. Scores are overall lower, but still manages to perform comparatively well to other devices, only being beat by the unique combination of 1080p and Snapdragon 810 of the HTC One M9, and of course the new iPhones who also themselves are hitting Vsync limits. Please keep in mind that our benchmark scores of the HTC One M9 are of a 2.0 revision of the chipset with slightly lower memory and GPU clocks.įor the on-screen T-Rex test we see the impact of the 1440p resolution of the device. Here the Nexus 6P actually manages to perform the best among Android devices, slightly edging out the Mi Note Pro and the Note 5. T-Rex is of the former nature where we see high emphasis the GPU’s texture and fill-rate capabilities. The benchmark has been a staple of our benchmark suite for a couple of years now as it offers insight into different aspects of a GPU’s performance, such as texture and fill-rate bounds loads to ALU heavy tests. We next move on to GFXBench from Kishonti.
The physics benchmark is mostly a CPU benchmark while also stressing the GPU a bit – again we see the Nexus 6P perform well and most noticeably better than other Snapdragon 810 devices such as the Mi Note Pro. Here we see the Nexus 6P perform very well as it manages to almost reach the top of the line-up, only to be beaten by Apple’s A9 processor in the new iPhones. Please keep in mind the performance differences to other Snapdragon 810 as I’ll try to give an explanation to the delta towards the end of the section.ģDMark Ice Storm Unlimited is a 720p offscreen benchmark that stresses a lot of different aspects of a GPU. Together with LPDDR4 running at up to 1555MHz, this should give plenty of performance to power the 1440p screen of the Nexus 6P.
On the GPU side we find the Adreno 430 powering the Snapdragon 810.
