Hello readers, you may used to see at the specifications of the cellphone, there must be an SoC (System on Chip). A smartphone buyer who prefers the performance of a smartphone must be the first time to see what SoC to use after that, how much it costs… Haha. That’s right, SoC is a benchmark for the performance of a new smartphone after that it is followed by others such as OS customization, screen resolution, built-in software. etc.

So what exactly is an SoC, what is the difference between the cpu in our laptops and PCs? So, if you say that SoC is the CPU of a smartphone, it’s true because SoC also includes the CPU of a smartphone, but SoC is more than that. SoC also includes GPU (for graphics process), ISP (preprocessing camera quality), Modem (connectivity process).. etc. SoC it is also often called a chipset because it regulates the CPU, GPU, DSP, ISP, Modem.. etc simultaneously.

Therefore, according to me, the selection of the SoC is quite important because it includes many factors. For example, if you are a multitasking user, choose an SoC with a strong multicore CPU, if a user for gaming chooses a strong GPU, if you are a video or photography user, you can choose the latest ISP (Image Signal Processor) that can meet your criteria (example: record 4K 60fps video, or 48MP super high resolution image photos for example).

Now there are already many SoC manufacturers that you can choose from, and the most famous Snapdragon, Mediatek & Exynos. Here the manufacture that maybe you doesn’t know, there are Allwinner, Rockchip, Intel, Marvell.. etc. All of these SoC brands have many SoC products ranging from entry level to high end and various platforms as well, there are tablets, lightweight laptops, convertibles, TV boxes. etc.

The point is that SoC is a vital part of a smartphone (and others), whether you use it only for social media or games, it will feel very impactful. Even so, according to me with the current technological developments, SoC will continue to develop and maybe later there will also be new features like in RTX (nvidia ray tracing) or tensor cores (Processors for AI computing) maybe… wkwk

That’s it, it’s been a long time since this writer went to digress where.. wkwk May it be useful tho!

Hello Man, with the growth of fabrication technology that is getting smaller and smaller, it remind me of my first computer with a Pentium 2 CPU from Intel which is 250nm and when compared to today (2020 at the time I wrote this) it is now only 7nm. Just imagine how small it is until it is 35x smaller than 250nm. Ok enough nostalgia, but related to earlier, now with smaller fabrications, manufacturers can embed better integrated GPUs in each generation.

You must be know the PS4 or Xbox One game consoles is using integrated graphics, if you don’t know that the console uses an integrated GPU / APU and not only that the PS5 and Xbox Series X generations also follow with newer technology of course. But for PC, the current APU / Integrated GPU still can’t achieve even entry level GPU performance (Such as Vega 8 & GT 1030). Hopefully, in the future, Integrated GPUs can be more varied from low end to high end.

So what if it’s a GPU discrete? in my opinion discrete GPU compared to iGPU, discrete GPU is more independent in processing graphics on a PC so it does not affect CPU performance which makes both run optimally. Meanwhile, the iGPU because it attaches to the APU/CPU will certainly reduce the CPU allocation ration on the APU chip so that it makes both of them not too optimal and also because each chip has a power limit for every processing that occurs sometimes there will be a bottleneck / overheat if the CPU and GPU do heavy tasks simultaneously.

So which one is suitable for you iGPU or Discrete GPU? So here I will break it down into 2 points:

• Integrated GPU

Integrated GPU is suitable for those of you who need a budget-oriented device. So because the iGPU is a bundle with a CPU, the cost of APU is usually more economical (and also power efficient) because you don’t need to buy a GPU anymore and you can also still upgrade the discrete GPU in the future. Even so, APUs have CPU/GPU performance that is not too optimal compared to dedicated CPUs/GPUs.

• Discrete GPU

Discrete GPU is suitable for those of you who need a performance-oriented device. So because the CPU and GPU are dedicated or have their own space. CPU/GPU performance becomes more optimal because it does not share the chip allocation and each hardware has its own power limit. Even so, generally discrete GPUs cost more than APUs.

Okay, so have you determined which one to choose?

Currently, with the development of video editing technology, it can also be done on the Android OS. Although when compared to Video editors on PC, video editors on Android have limitations on several features, but video editors on Android now little by little adding more editing features just like on PC. And of the many applications on Android, here are some of the applications that I think are the best for now:

• Kinemaster

Yep, I put kinemaster in the first list of this list. Kinemaster has very complete features compared to other editors which, among others, can make multi-layer video editing more than other applications. Furthermore, for my opinion features such as greenscreen PiP (Picture in Picture), transitions, audio filter, greenscreen.. etc which I think the features are more mature than others. And finally the community of kinemaster in my opinion is the biggest, you can easily find tutorials or ask questions through kinemaster editing forums.

• Powerdirector

Moving on to second I think PowerDirector deserves to be crowned number two. As a consideration I chose this application is the import and rendering support up to 4K 60fps. In addition, although the features are not as complete as kinemaster, PowerDirector offers core features with some restrictions such as limiting the number of layers and simpler layer customization. Even so, the powerdirector has an interface that I think is easier to master and its features are relatively close to being able to match the kinemaster.

• Viva Video

Thirdly there is Viva Video with resource features that vary greatly from video filters, audio and many other templates making viva video worthy of being ranked third in my version. With the same core features as the video editor above Viva Video prioritizes a user friendly interface and its many feature resources are with beautification making it on a video editor that is suitable for the majority of girls (which guys also exist). One of the viva video features that are not in other video editors is beautify, which can make your face better looking by importing your video and adding the beautify effect in this application.

• Filmora Go

With the advert go in it filmora go is indeed devoted to video editors that are simple & problem solving. Filmora go in my opinion is simpler than the video editor above and only offers important feature features with minimal customization even so filmora go is specifically for fast video editing. Even so, filmora Go you can rely on for your daily light editing.

So guys, which of these android video editor applications do you think is the best or do you have other choices besides on this list? Well this list is an experience from what I’ve known all along and maybe it could be wrong CMIIW. So the point is to choose any application that you like and are comfortable to use because what I recommend is not necessarily suitable for you. Happy editing guys 😀

Surely you have seen speaker products be it stereo, 2.1, 5.1 and 7.1. Actually, the numbers just now explain the specifications of the speakers. Ok, it doesn’t take long for us to discuss it, starting from what you have heard or maybe what you are currently using, namely:

• Stereo Speakers

The first and deliberately discussed first is stereo speakers, from smartphone products, TVs, PCs, Laptops.. etc is using a stereo implementation that uses 2 left and right speakers to get the sound out. For sound quality is also more immersive for this stereo system so it is very popular and adapted for a wide variety of equipment that requires speakers for entertainment. For now, there are also a lot of developments in terms of software for stereo systems that you may often hear about, including Dolby Stereo Surround Sound, DTS Surround sound… etc. By using this feature, you can emulate surround sound on your stereo speakers for a more immersive experience of listening to movies or songs and seem real sound position.

• Mono Speakers

The second is a mono speaker which means that it only uses one speaker to make the sound. Mono-type speakers are still used in your electronic equipment. Mono speakers can save space so that they are easy to apply to various electronic equipment that is not specifically for entertainment, and although not specialized, there are still many that are made for entertainment purposes, you know. You can still find this type of mono speaker on your electronic devices such as bluetooth speaker clocks, portable radios, smartphones. etc

• Speaker 2.1

Furthermore, the third and what is starting to be widely used for home entertainment / audio systems today is the 2.1 speaker, we can observe from the name, namely 2.1 which means that this speaker is a stereo speaker with additional woofer speakers. The woofer speakers will cope with bass sound/low frequency sound so the audio quality is better than stereo only. This speaker has been in the market and has been very widely used from home theater, PC and also car audio. And also this speaker system already supports Dolby surround sound and DTS Surround sound for a more immersive experience.

• Speaker 5.1

After we know the speaker system, then we go to the next level of audio system, namely speaker 5.1 and again the same as the name implies, this speaker system uses 5 speakers that are installed around the room and then added with 1 subwoofer. For the 5.1 speaker, it is relatively rarely used and is usually only used for home theaters or those that require a more real level of sound immersivity. For the installation of this speaker is quite time-consuming and for the price is mid to high so it is rarely adapted by budget friendly people. Usually this 5.1 surround system uses Dolby/DTS.

• Speaker 7.1

Ok finally we are heading towards the highest speaker system for now which is Speaker 7.1. Equipped with 7 speakers around the room and 1 woofer, it is guaranteed to make your experience when watching movies or music that supports 7.1 will be very immersive and real. For this speaker system, we can find it at your favorite cinema and also at the home theater. And almost the same as the 5.1 speaker, the installation of this speaker is quite time-consuming because it must be suitable for the placement of each speaker but all of this will be really worth it with the experience you will get later. Just like others, usually this surround system is combined with Dolby Surround or DTS Surround.

That’s the kind of speaker system subjectively based on my experience. Of course, the speaker system has its own market and for different people. Personally, I would choose 2.1 speakers for my PC room and 5.1 speakers for my TV room, with budget considerations as well.. Hehe. So that’s it if you think it’s the most suitable speaker system, what kind of speaker system do you think is the most suitable?
