When smart TVs were just emerging a few years ago, because they were equipped with operating systems like mobile phones and computers, certain requirements were also placed on the TV’s processor. This has set off an "arms war" among major TV manufacturers. Concepts such as nuclear war and nuclear explosion have emerged one after another, and their focus is on the number of cores of smart TV processors. From the initial dual-core to quad-core, to eight-core, ten-core, and then to twenty-core, I feel that this value is still out of control, but suddenly it is oncoming ultra-thin, curved, OLED, and comprehensive. Replaced by hot words such as screen, its "competition" has just ended.
But in the past two years, with the popularity of artificial intelligence operating systems, major TV manufacturers want to empower TVs so that TVs can do more. This puts a test on the performance of the TV processor. The biggest manifestation of TV's artificial intelligence is in voice interaction, and the response time of voice interaction is not only related to the algorithm of the system, but also largely depends on the computing speed of the TV processor. Therefore, recently I have faintly seen some TVs re-starting to use TV processors as a selling point.
This is not to say that this kind of publicity is not good. After all, the author is a TV review editor. Sometimes when I encounter a TV with a weak processor, I will not talk about it after asking a question for a long time. Sometimes I even slide down the screen. When I switch
the page, I feel stuck. The experience is just like the feeling of a smart phone sent with a charge when the smart phone was just popularized. It is very bad. And TV manufacturers can realize this, and it is worthy of recognition that they want to bring a smooth experience to our daily control of TV. The author here mainly wants to criticize those propaganda behaviors that only like to pile up the core and ignore the actual experience, and criticize this kind of exaggerated propaganda and even false propaganda.
Some time ago, the author saw such a TV in the official mall of a certain TV brand, which is known as a 20-core processor, to open the game era of TV. Don't talk about the daily operation of the TV, the small operations of switching pages, people don't care about it at all, okay? Everyone can play large single-players, and what "NBA 2K16" and "Far Cry 2" are completely nonchalant. This also aroused my strong interest in this TV configuration.
Twenty-core processors are really so powerful?
And on the next page, I saw detailed information about this TV configuration. Among them, more detailed annotations have been made on the GPU model and the specifications of the memory flash memory. Only the CPU here is only 20 cores, and I don't know the specific model. Huh? There is fraud!
In the detailed table of parameters, we see the model of the CPU, a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor with a frequency of 1.4GHZ. So why is this TV said to be a 20-core processor? This is the routine of TV manufacturers.
