So, after watching this guy running some throttling test on several smartphones, I started wondering if my Nexus 5 was facing similar throttling issues, just like some Snapdragon 810 devices do. Also, I wanted to extend the testing results, in order to ascertain if Screen Brightness matters, and by how much.
The testing procedure was the following:
I kept running the Geekbench benchmark repeatedly for 10 minutes and taking note of the Multi-threaded score.
For the first set of runs I had the brightness decreased to Minimum. Then I left the device untouched for about 5 minutes (in order to cool down) and ran the test again with the Screen Brightness set to Maximum.
During the tests my Nexus 5 was:
-Stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow
-Stock clocks
-Stock thermal throttle temperature
-Unrooted
You can see the result on the following graph:
What questions does this answer?
Yes, Nexus 5 does throttle. Yes, screen brightness does matter.
Does this make Nexus 5 a bad device?
Not by a long shot!
So guys, what do you thing about all this? Does throttling matter to you? Did you get different results on Custom ROMs?
If so, please share them with us! :)
