The feature of mobile processors is their ability to function on a single battery with minimal body heat. But it often happens that the chip shows a high performance, but very quickly discharges the battery. Conversely, productivity can be slightly lower, but at the same time energy efficiency increases. Therefore, judging the advantage of one chip over another is not always relevant. Mobile processors are built on a multi-core architecture. The presence of more kernels increases the number of tasks performed simultaneously, provided that the software is optimized.
This article presents the rating of the mobile processors in order of increasing performance.
