换【妻】的烦恼

换【妻】的烦恼

博客

老姚感悟:市值2330亿美元的全球最大电讯营运商、美国的AT&T公司,用854亿美元买下市值680亿美元的、美国时代华纳-CNN-TNT-HBO-华纳兄弟公司,成为今年全球最大的并购案,到底值不值老姚这里不分析。

但是,苹果供应AT&T的iphone-7手机的芯片,目前是Intel公司Xmm7360型号的产品,手机型号是A-1778和1784,这让在美国AT&T服务系统的【换妻们】止步不前,为什么?
因为苹果的i-7手机,还有另外一种芯片型号,用的是Q-Com公司MDM9645m型号的产品,手机型号是A-1660和1661,它们比Itel公司的i-7芯片,在各方面都要快的很多很多,有的要快一倍!这使得供应AT&T的i-7的itel芯片综合速度,还比不过i-6Plus,那还换什么呢?
明年是iphone十周年大庆,i-7不会再生出i-7S了,i-7也没有太多的变革,都留给十年纪念产品i-8了!这让许多少数明白人,放弃i-7,等待i-8!
我买iphone还有一个小经验是,iphone的电池平均寿命是2-3年。因为换电池在美国是80美元/三个月的保期,电池坏了不如买新的。因为电池的寿命,每两年换一次机型,进两级是最划算的!Galaxy-S7的芯片速度比i-7快多了,但是这次败在了电池上,历史教训不可不防!
我持有i-6两年了,今年该换i-7跳两级。由于住家地区AT&T型号比较强,一直认它为干爸。AT&T的i-7现在被itel的芯片绑架,岂不现在换了i-7,速度却是i-6S,两年才升了一级,有点亏,还不如等i-8!
再等一年,有点烦,尤其是i-7Plus的双镜头,让我有点手痒痒,希望年底,AT&T能够接受Q-Com芯片的i-7Plus!
 
请看两种芯片比较的证据:
 
With the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, Apple elected to use LTE modems from two different sources, Qualcomm and Intel. The A1778 and A1784 iPhone models use a GSM-only Intel XMM7360 modem while the A1660 and 1661 iPhone models use a GSM/CDMA-compatible Qualcomm MDM9645M modem. 

Apple's decision has already caused some disappointment among customers because the GSM-only Intel modem is not compatible with as many carrier networks as the GSM/CDMA Qualcomm modem, and now independent testing conducted by Cellular Insights suggests there are some significant performance differences between the two modems, with the Qualcomm modem outperforming the Intel modem. 

Using an R&S TS7124 RF Shielded Box, two R&S CMW500, one R&S CMWC controller, and four Vivaldi antennas, Cellular Insights created a setup to simulate LTE performance at different distances from a cellular tower using two iPhone 7 Plus devices, one with an Intel modem and one with a Qualcomm modem. 

The goal of the test was to measure the highest achievable LTE throughput starting at a Reference Signal Received Quality of -85dBm (a strong signal) and gradually reducing the power level to simulate moving away from a cellular tower where signal is weaker. Three LTE bands were tested: Band 12, Band 4 (the most common band in North America), and Band 7.

In all three tests, both the iPhone 7 Plus models offered similar performance in ideal conditions, but as power levels decreased, Cellular Insights saw "unexplainable sharp dips in performance" in the Intel modem, finding a gap "north of 30%" in favor of the Qualcomm iPhone 7 Plus. In the charts, the Qualcomm modem maintains noticeably higher throughput speeds than the Intel modem as signal strength decreases.

In real world conditions, this would suggest the Qualcomm modem does better in areas where the cellular connection is weak, with faster throughput speeds. Cellular Insights describes the Band 12 test below:
Both iPhone 7 Plus variants perform similarly in ideal conditions. At -96dBm the Intel variant needed to have Transport Block Size adjusted as BLER well exceeded the 2% threshold. At -105dBm the gap widened to 20%, and at -108dBm to a whopping 75%. As a result of such a huge performance delta between the Intel and Qualcomm powered devices, we purchased another A1784 (AT&T) iPhone 7 Plus, in order to eliminate any possibility of a faulty device. The end result was virtually identical. [...] 

At -121dBm, the Intel variant performed more in line with its Qualcomm counterpart. Overall, the average performance delta between the two is in the 30% range in favor of the Qualcomm
Cellular Insights also created a chart that compares the edge of cell performance of several different smartphones. The increasing numbers on the X-axis below represent increasingly poor signal strength, while on the Y-axis, a higher throughput number indicates better performance. The iPhone 7 Plus with an Intel modem demonstrates the poorest performance of all phones tested.

According to Cellular Insights, in every single test, the iPhone 7 Plus with a Qualcomm modem "had a significant performance edge" over the iPhone 7 Plus with an Intel modem.
