Performance comparison iMX6 quad between Android 5 & 7

[himanshugusain]

Hi

We are planning to port android nougat in one of our custom iMX6 quad sabresd platform which currently is running on Android 5.0. Before starting that exercise we would to know the performance improvement  Android 7 will have on iMX6 quad platform.

We are currently in the evaluation stage , if Android 7 in iMX6 quad has significant performance improvement when compared with Android 5 in iMX6 quad  , we can go ahead with our porting exercise else we will have to look for a different option.

My question is has anyone have done a performance comparison between Android 5 & 7 in iMX6 quad processor ?

Hello himanshu,

For benchmarking on Android you can run Nena Mark, GFXBench benchmark and Antutu Benchmark. In our case

AnTuTu Benchmark v5.2 Results on Android M7:

                                          Android 5                 Android 7

Total Scores	18936	19661
Multitask	3234	3365
Runtime	2466	2652
RAM Operation	1505	1687
RAM Speed	688	688
CPU integer(multi-thread)	1457	1508
CPU float-point(multi-thread)	1759	1809
CPU integer(single-thread)	901	971
CPU float-point(single-thread)	998	1086
2D graphics	547	667
3D graphics	3984	4075
Storage I/O	496	508

These are only scores, but we have good performance comparing to other android 5. And we have very good performance using i.MX6Q
