Guys can you check in your phone how many cores are working at a time? I see only two cores working at a time and i think they are the slower ones

Any impact coz of this?

Ive noticed this aswell on 7.0, and my antutu score went down from around 139000 on 6.0 to around 127000 on 7.0. I would say its a huge performance loss. But real life performance i havent noticed any difference, but not in batterlife either so id rather have my cores back.

me too, since i switched back to stock build 39.2.A.0.327 benchmarck highest score i could get is 130355 and battery seems worse too, i used to have like more than 138000 and very decent battery life with Frago's Nougat Rom, so i've flashed it back on... no rooted stock build for me anymore i guess...

Oh you are not on original ROM... Well i guess there is some problem with the original one...


Mine is F8832 ... i guess the dual SIM Ver are suffering

Same issue here, I tested with CPU-Z and CPU-X and is the same result, only 2 cores working.
Firmware: .327 (Nougat)
Region: Malaysia
Model: F8332

So, I think that is a bug of the reads, beacuse if you perform a Benchmark, the results are the same that when you use Marshmallow (with 4 cores).

No, i tested with benchmark software, it is 40% lesser mark compare the 6.0
I feel lag after updated to nougat.
And my old z3 is faster than XZ now.

Used to have at least 120k marks.

7.0 39.2.A.0.361 Orange MCV FR/ES/PL/SK/RO
I was suprised to hear that so i've been testing my device with antutu, usually core 2 and 3 ( max 2150mhz) are off, but i think it's probably due to nougat update, once i saw them all working for a sec.
My scores are between 147k and 115k.
First highest score with rather cool device, room temperature 24C, WIFI, BT, internet connection, NFC, Auto rotation: OFF, screen brightness on- set to minimum.
After few tests device got hotter and scores dropped to about 125k. Then i tried to push it to the limit, all ON, screen brightness auto-set to max. Score dropped to 115k.
So throttling is there definitively. Score around 130k can show how device will behave in normal use and it is fast as it should be. In case of my device, battery life has improved but it might be placebo effect

Um... So what kind of CPU load are you putting on your phone in order to make all 4 cores to work simultaneously? In other words, why are you expecting to see all 4 cores active in CPU-Z in the first place?

If your phone has nothing serious to do at the time, then even 2 cores being active is too much. You should see only 1.

I tried play high end game - HIT and switched to see, CPUZ still showed only 2 cores are active.
While after 30 mins-45 mins of playing, it became laggy and not responding until I restart that game.
