Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro theoretical performance test：New Snapdragon 8 architecture and process double upgrade GPU performance surges to catch up with Apple
The new generation of Snapdragon 8 processor equipped this time，Realized dual upgrade of process and core architecture。Advanced 4nm process，Three-cluster architecture of Cortex-X2 super core + Cortex-A710 large core + Cortex-A510 based on Arm V9 instruction set，Performance is further enhanced。even，The performance of the small core A510，It is already comparable to the A73 large core in some mid-range mobile phone SOCs，The overall energy efficiency ratio has improved significantly。
CPU theoretical performance test，We will directly use GeekBench 5 for comparison，This program can eliminate the interference of memory，Let us intuitively see the difference in CPU performance。
Even the most conservative power saving modes，The new Snapdragon 8 on the Mi 12 Pro is still ahead of the full-blooded Snapdragon 888 on the Mi 11 Pro in terms of performance。 while in extreme mode，The performance of the new Snapdragon 8 with full firepower is further enhanced，Both single-core performance and multi-core performance lead by about 17%。
Compared with the stable improvement of CPU，The performance growth of the new Snapdragon 8 GPU is even more amazing，Achieved the first major upgrade in five years，Core area increased by 60%，Graphics rendering speed increased by 30% at the same time，The energy consumption ratio has also been improved by 25%。also，Also supports variable resolution rendering、Image motion engine、Next-generation game features such as volumetric light rendering。simply put，Future games can take advantage of these technologies，Get better images and performance。
Comparison of running points through GFXbench，We can see how amazing the performance improvement of the Snapdragon 8 GPU on the Mi 12 Pro is。
Compared with the previous generation Snapdragon 888，The average performance improvement of the new Snapdragon 8 is about 53.6%，Even finally caught up with Apple。The GPU performance of the new Snapdragon 8 has surpassed the Apple A14，It can even compete with the A15 residual blood version，It can be said that it is the largest generation of GPUs in the history of the Android platform.，The generation gap between Apple and Apple is further narrowed。
also，We also tested the performance of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro using commonly used performance testing tools。 The following tests were performed in performance mode。
——AnTuTu Test：The overall score of the AnTuTu test is 1.029 million points，surpassed the previous record，It is also in line with the original promotion of the new Snapdragon 8。
——Androbench：in Androbench，Sustained read speed of 1901.85 MB/s，Also in line with the performance of the current flagship UFS 3.1 flash memory。
In general，Although everyone has a lot of controversy about the new Snapdragon 8，But its performance has indeed improved a lot。 CPU part increased by 18%，The GPU part even increased by 53.6%，For Android platform，The new Snapdragon 8 further narrows the performance gap between the Android platform and Apple。
Today's flagship mobile phone performance bottlenecks are mostly reflected in games，Mainly improve GPU performance，CPU performance is stable and improved，It is also a good development direction。
Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro Gaming Performance Test：Yuanshen finally conquered the full frame, the 120-frame king is stable and not hot
Running points can only represent theoretical performance，Actual game performance speaks for itself。 In order to give full play to the performance of the new Snapdragon 8，Xiaomi has also made full optimization。
The first is heat dissipation，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is equipped with a 2900mm² VC soaking plate，Complete coverage of the core heating area，Heat can be dissipated faster。 in addition，The back of the phone uses three layers of super large graphite sheets，can further distribute heat，Lower the temperature of the back cover。
on the software，Mi 12 Pro uses a unique dynamic performance scheduling technology，In short, when the game is running，SOC does not always maintain peak performance at full load，Instead, it analyzes the progress of the game in real time，Schedule as needed。 so that，Balance control of power consumption and temperature can be achieved。
- Glory of the King
The first is the national-level moba game "King of Glory"，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro supports the highest picture quality and 120fps mode，play a game，Frame rate is stable，And the body temperature is always comfortable。
This reflects the role of the dynamic scheduling system of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro。 Scenes with easy full frames also have lower CPU load，And a fierce team fight，The CPU will also run at full load，So although smooth and stable 120 frames，But "Honor of Kings" did not put too much burden on the heat dissipation of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro。
——Peace Elite
Another game "Peace Elite"，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro can turn on HDR HD + extreme frame rate。 This is also not a small burden for a flagship machine，Under the premise of stable frame rate throughout，The body temperature of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is still controlled within an acceptable range。
——Genshin
at last，It's the turn of the must-test project for all flagship machines - "Genshin Impact"。The highest picture quality is turned on 60fps mode，Test according to the route shown in the figure。
Past Snapdragon 888 models，Only gaming phones with built-in cooling clips can achieve stable 60-frame gaming performance，The rest of the models must reduce the frame rate or reduce the picture quality。
And this time Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro，Bare metal can achieve stable frame rate above 57 FPS for a long time，The core temperature is only 39.4°C，The body temperature is only 40°C。Still a little hot，But far better than the previous generation。
The huge GPU improvement of the new Snapdragon 8 really makes the Mi 12 Pro perform better in games。With high specification cooling and dynamic scheduling algorithm，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is also considered to have completed the conquest of "Yuan Shen"。After all, the phone is just now on the market，Subsequent manufacturer optimization，Presumably playing "Genshin Impact" will definitely be smoother and cooler。
