Hi everyone welcome to a small little throttling test that i thought would be
interesting to compare a few generations and different chipsets here so on the left here we
have the xiaomi 12 pro with the snapdragon 8gen one oneplus 10 pro snapdragon 8gen1
the poco f3 so this has the snapdragon 870 we have google's pixel 6 pro with the google
tensor chip and then the 11 ultra here from xiaomi with the snapdragon triple
eight now in this video i'm only gonna be looking at our gpu performance so first up is 3d mark's
wildlife test that i will run on all of these so it's just a quick short test then i'll get
on to the stress test and that's where we're going to see when they're going to throttle
how much do they throttle and will one of these phones or two of these phones not be able to even
complete the test so let's just go through them now with the standard test here of wildlife
okay so we can see that the xiaomi so that's the 12 pro the 10 pro as well here from one plus both
got very similar scores the highest scores here as you'd expect with of course the latest and
greatest chipset there that snapdragon 8 gen 1. the lowest score here is the poco f3 with
snapdragon 870 it just got an average of 25 frames per second they're compared to these two 58 and 58
almost 40 frames per second with the google tensor chip and then here with the snapdragon triple
eight 34 frames per second and you can clearly see those scores right there so i'm going to get out
of this now on all of the phones what i'll do is let them all just cool down for a little bit
and then i'll run the next benchmark so i've left them now for seven minutes the phone right here is
22 degrees we're looking at then 25 22 22 there and 25 so there is a slight difference in our
temperatures there but not a lot it is safe to say that they are really basically cool here because
i have not been using them so task manager i've killed everything in the background only 3dmark is
running on all of them so this is where things are going to get very interesting onto the stress test
part now so it's going to go for 20 minutes and of course the video won't be the full 20 minutes
i'll just start them now and let them run so those two are going to go at the same time those
two and then this one bit of a difference there but i'll let it run and we'll see what happens
will one of these phones end up just crashing and burning i've seen it happen but the xiaomi 12 pro
that could happen or maybe the oneplus 10 pro but let's see what happens let it run and then we'll
check on how much did they throttle these phones okay and they're finishing up it looks like the
xiaomi however has no it is going to finish well that's a miracle because the other times
it is completely crashed because it's gone overheating mode it throws up an error but
that hasn't happened here so we'll take a look at our scores here and i'll look at the thermals
while the oneplus 10 pro feels very hot and so does the show me to touch in fact i'll check on
those thermals first now just move over now to my thermal imaging camera so we'll start here
with the 11 ultra that's getting up to about 40 degrees you can see that the google's tensor chip
there is not as hot that's only about 33 degrees and then moving to the poco f3 the coolest of the
devices look at that it's only 30 degrees and now look at this see the difference that's 4142 there
with the xiaomi 12 pro and the oneplus 10 pro is relatively cool there too 35 degrees now
just get a shot of all of the phones here if i can get that in with my thermal imaging camera
now um oh there we go just got my mic in the way there you can definitely see that the two xiaomi
phones on either end are the hottest there and up to almost 42 on the front now flipping them
over very quickly here i just want to see the backs of them to see if they are getting a lot
hotter with the thermal imaging camera again i'll just do that in a second we'll take a look at them
all right so we can see that again the xiaomi looking pretty hot there so that's the 11 ultra
up to well it's not too bad 39 degrees the pixel 6 pro is about 38 the poco f3 very cool
the one plus 10 pro looking pretty good and then the xiaomi around that camera module around
about 40 or so degrees there so it's getting very hot let's have a look at our scores now and how
much did they throttle and there's results here so they are very interesting i'll start out first
with the winner okay which was the poco f3 this one didn't throttle down much at all only to 92.6
that is great we scroll down here we'll take a look here what happened with the thermal so it
went from 23 degrees when it was cool and first started to then 39 degrees c so excellent result
here snapdragon 870 i still think is one of the best chips i really do like it even though okay
it's a couple of generations old or generation old now still very good and then this one did
really well too the 11 ultra they've always had some pretty good cooling in this even though that
snapdragon 888 the snapdragon triple eight is a very hot chip it only scaled down to 87.4 percent
we'll take a look you can see how quite steady that line is which is what it should look like
what about our thermals then so to get up to 45 degrees c there that's the temperature that's
recording okay not too bad i have seen worse let's take a look at then the google so the google
pixel 6 pro i'm pretty disappointed in overall this tensor chip so it did throttle down to 62.5
now that's quite a bit of throttling look at the score difference there
from the peak to the lowest take a look here now at our thermals uh 41 so it was
four degrees cooler than that xiaomi with the snapdragon triple eight then we get on to the
real hot phones here i'll start with the second to last place one here which is the oneplus 10
pro and we're just looking at thermal throttling that is look at that difference in the score
so the best score was the highest very good for that burst score right peak performance very good
but then after that look at the curve or that stress test taking its toll and how much it
really throttled with that curve quite a bit there scaling down to 63 point three percent
and then it got up to forty three percent okay and you can see the battery lost there too as well so
not an amazing result there's snapdragon 8gen one so far for me my experience quite disappointing
and here we go on to the worst phone which was the xiaomi 12 pro now i am shocked that
it actually managed to finish this test because in the past two tests i've done it has crashed
and burned it's thrown up an overheating message after about 17 or 18 minutes but it just made
it to 20 minutes here but i am certain that it was only seconds maybe minutes away from doing
that from just overheating completely so there it went down to below 60 throttling the performance
that's quite a difference and you can see here how much it really did change we'll take a look at the
temperatures up to 47 degrees so it did get the hottest as we saw with my thermal imaging camera
so overall yeah those two new flagships for 2022 we're not off to a good start if you still have
this which is the poco f3 you've got a snapdragon 865 or 65 plus or 870 you're good i still think
you're good in 2022 for gamers definitely for long sustained performance less throttling
so those are the results there thank you so much for watching this stress test thermal throttling
and just general thermals comparison between all of these phones here i'll see you in the next one
