Well this is very subjective, because it depends what you're doing.įirst of all, true multitasking (having multiple apps run) requires a faster CPU, so that all the processes can run at a decent speed.
If you generally stays in a single program and is sensitive to input-to-output latency then having faster CPU will be more valuable for you if you constantly task switch between many different apps or if you need to run complex memory-hungry apps to open complex large files, then having extra RAM is going to be more valuable to you. In short, both are equally important your own personal usage pattern will determine which is more valuable for you.
the latency of the cables, speed of the bus, etc. Also, note that input-to-output turnaround time depends on a large number of other factors, e.g. 100-200ms) and we will not be able to perceive the benefit of adding even faster CPU. However, up to a certain point, there will be no longer any noticeable benefit of adding even more CPU beyond a certain point, the input turnaround will be much faster than our own brain's turnaround time (approx. In CPU-bound application, increasing CPU speed can mean less latency between touching the screen and the screen updating to reflect the touch event. photo/video editor, complex games, etc.Ī higher CPU is able to calculate things much faster, while this might look tempting at first, it is notable that most programs - except for games and synthetic benchmark and possibly flash-heavy webpages - are I/O-bound and not CPU-bound in other word, most programs are waiting for network transmission, flash storage reads, DMA reads, touch event processing, etc to finish, instead of waiting for some calculations. Having more RAM also allows you to run complex apps that naturally requires a lot of memory, e.g. Also, more RAM means your homescreen is less likely to be killed and you won't experience that 10-second-wait-that-feels-like-forever. This means that more RAM usually give you better/faster task-switching. More RAM means Android is going to spend less of its time killing and reloading apps from the internal memory/sd card, and instead spend more time doing actual work you care about. In the context of Android, more RAM means Android can keep more sleeping program in the RAM so they will be ready to be quickly resumed when you return back to the apps.
