The Vivo X100 Pro flagship smartphone was put under a stress test recently, which showed some bleak figures. Although, the issue could be rooted in the device’s SoC, which is MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300.
Vivo X100 Pro takes a massive performance hit in stress test
For those unaware, the X100 Pro is a high end device and the Dimensity 9300 is the chipmaker’s latest flagship processor. However, the smartphone was recently put through a stress test by Sahil Karoul (Via NotebookCheck), who shared the results on X. During the test, it was found that the X100 Pro faced a notable thermal throttling, with a massive drop in performance.
The Dimensity 9300 on the device throttled down to just 46 percent of its max performance after just two minutes of the benchmark. Due to this throttling issue, the performance on one of the cores dropped down to 0.6GHz (max clock speed of 3.25GHz). A separate NotebookCheck report talked about how the Dimensity 9300 doesn’t feature any efficiency cores, which could lead to throttling since the high powered cores (Cortex-X4) draws more power.
While this enables impressive raw performance, the downsize was the thermals. So this stress test might be reflecting that. But keep in mind that a stress test is just to check the CPU’s performance on high loads and does not directly reflect real world performance. Everyday users would typically never hit such extreme loads.
