Hardware codec support ❆ Hardware Codec Capabilities
It's time to compare how processors differ from each other in terms of hardware support for codecs. Each brand may have its own set of instructions. A codec is a hardware- or software-based process that compresses and decompresses large amounts of data. Different processors use different underlying codecs and image processing engines. Get information about {MediaTek Dimensity 700} and {HiSilicon Kirin 990 4G}, and also consider the following: - What is hardware codec support? - What is the difference between hardware codec or software codec? - What are the different types of codecs?

Thermal Management ✗ What is Thermal Management and why do we need it
Let's compare the temperatures of the processors {MediaTek Dimensity 700} and {HiSilicon Kirin 990 4G}. It is important that the higher the TDP of the processor, the more powerful the cooling system will be required. The optimal model is considered to be a processor with a lower TDP. With faster processors that dissipate more heat than the slower processors, it is no longer possible to ignore thermal management. Ask yourself questions: - Should you always put thermal paste on CPU? - What is meant by thermal management? - Why is thermal management important? As computing speeds increase, thermal management is becoming a serious problem in computer systems, so pay attention to it.
