Cherry Mobile이 CM Fusion Bolt의 AnTuTu 벤치마크 성능 사진을 Facebook 페이지에 게시했을 때, 타임스탬프로 인해 다소 의구심이 들었습니다. 이에 저희는 자체 조사를 진행하여 최신 펌웨어를 확보한 후 Fusion Bolt에 플래시하고 해당 결과를 재현해 보았습니다.

우리가 발견한 업데이트된 펌웨어는 실제로 Novo 7 Venus용 Ainol 펌웨어로, 이는 우리가 CM이 최종 시장 출시 버전에서 사용하고 있는 것과 유사하다고 믿었던 것입니다. 우리는 Actions 기기용 개발자 도구를 사용하여 ROM을 플래시했습니다.

Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt에 대한 첫인상을 아직 읽지 않으셨다면, 여기를 클릭하여 초기 벤치마크 결과를 확인해 보시기 바랍니다.

새로운 벤치마크 세트를 위해 AnTuTu, Quadrant Standard 및 NenaMark 2 를 사용했습니다.

대부분의 개선 사항은 AnTuTu에서 확인됩니다. 초기 점수인 5,985점에서 현재는 11,053점으로 상승했습니다. Quadrant에서는 초기 점수 2,722점에서 현재 2,802점이 되었습니다. 극적인 변화는 아니지만 여전히 개선된 것입니다.

NenaMark 2는 Vivante GC1000+MP GPU를 측정했으며, 초기 결과인 34.9fps에서 이제 45.4fps로 상승했습니다.

벤치마크 점수뿐만 아니라 향상된 부분도 있습니다. 퓨전 볼트는 이제 훨씬 더 매끄럽고 빨라졌습니다. 우리는 CM 의 자체 ROM 이나 업데이트된 퓨전 볼트를 직접 사용해 보며 차이점을 확인하고 싶습니다.

편집자 주: 펌웨어 업데이트는 Ainol Novo 7 Venus Lite 전용이지만 CM Fusion Bolt와 정확히 동일하므로 Cherry Mobile의 업데이트도 동일할 것이라고 확신합니다(아직 작업 중인 것으로 보이는 것은 부팅 화면, CPU 정보 등 레이블 세부 사항입니다).

What firmware was used to update the CM Fusion Bolt?

The firmware is an Ainol firmware for the Novo 7 Venus.

How much did the AnTuTu score improve after the update?

The AnTuTu score improved from 5,985 to 11,053.

Did the update affect the device's performance beyond benchmarks?

The Fusion Bolt became noticeably smoother and faster after the update.

natawa ako dun sa unang review ng CM FB.. sabi sa comments hinack daw pati results ng antutu, tapos tricks lang daw to ng CM kasi 5k lang daw score haha, ngayon 11k na ang score.. nagulat kea sila?? lol

brent · 13 years ago

guys, how to do the firmware update for the fusion bolt? nagulat ako kasi wala about sa settings… a little help pls… 0927******* brent here. thanks!

kamote · 13 years ago

mataas kasi resolution ng screen kaya mas hirap and procie at gpu ng fusion bolt pagdating sa games kesa sa mga dual core na 800×400 lang ang screen. at di naman talaga kalakasan yung vivante na gpu. kung mali400 lang sana ginamit ng ainol para sa venus / bolt gaya nung mga nasa aurora / elf at mga old models e ayos na ayos sana

rui no onna · 13 years ago

Hindi kataasan ang resolution nito. It’s just standard nowadays really. The older Ainol Novo7 Flame/Fire (1280*800) with dual-core AML8726 and Mali400 GPU actually performs better than the Venus. Yun nga lang, mas mahal pa yung Fire kesa sa Venus so mukhang mas mura pa yung ATM7025/9 compared to dual-core chips.

Most tablets use an SOC (system on chip) so magkasama yung CPU and GPU. Basically, any tablet with ATM7025/9 will have a Vivante GC1000+ GPU. If they wanted quad-core with Mali 400 (or Adreno or PowerVR), they’d have to get a different chip altogether and I believe at the time, wala masyadong quad-core choices for the target price point.

I reckon Ainol chose the ATM7025/9 for marketing hype just so they can sell a “quad-core” tablet. The dual-core RK3066 would have been a better fit.

By the way, there’s a new 0328 firmware available and reports are it works more smoothly compared to 0203. Alas, can’t really do anything about the crappy GPU.

kahit dugain pa nila ang antutu scores still laggy pa rin ito

kasi nga pangit ang processor at gpu

TeeYoy · 13 years ago

True, bought this for my son and playing Arcane legends is such a drag considering quad-core, CM Flare and our Android HP Touchpad is actually much, much faster…you get what you paid for ‘ika nga :/

antutu benchmark score q sa cm fusion bolt q is 11666 wlang update ng rom.

lawrence · 13 years ago

Can you provide a link to the Venus Lite rom mentioned here? I’d like to try it on my Fusion Bolt. Thanks.

jules · 13 years ago

paano i-update and firmware sa cm fusion bolt?.. please… tnx…

Kent Ryan · 13 years ago

biased benchmark test.. did they really included the s4? wala pa ngang s4 meron na agad dito..

eric · 13 years ago

cherry mobile tablet sucks!! bought a superior plus duo tablet last january 2..it died on january 23..bought it at there main service center the next day..up to this day (march 11, 2013) the unit is still unrepaired and cherry mobile does not give a crap about it!!

MORAL OF THE STORY: DO NOT BUY CHERRY MOBILE TABLETS!!

chacha · 13 years ago

Di nagwowork ang antutu app sa fusion bolt:( (March 6 release)
vellamo lng, pwede if you use the rerooted default ainol firmware like nung nsa taas.

though sa vellamo almost above lng sa Samsung Tab ung result.
AVG recognizes the tab as Ainol Fusion Bolt not cherry.

ps: Cm didnt install many usefull apps on their latest Fusion bolt release, you have to do it manually, also try to unable the auto rotate function, it might cause a problem later when installing apps.
solution is factory reset, reinstall k nga lng uli ng apps.
also you have to use a battery saver app to maximize the battery otherwise halos dim light n lng brightness lagi to save it’s juice.

george · 13 years ago

mag pipo s1 nalang kau hahah ok pa

patrick · 13 years ago

pano po ba mag upgrade ng rom? may step by step instruction kau?

Jed Ho · 13 years ago

hi!

request to please review with full HD video playing and actual games again for the new FW. and battery life too. hehe.

tnx!

Carlo · 13 years ago

Got a Fusion Bolt a while ago. It’s noticeably laggy compared to my Nexus 7, but that’s thrice the price. Will be giving this to my parents for them to surf the net and read books.

Marco · 13 years ago

Fusion Bolt registers 11K+ in AnTuTu for actual users who lined up and bought their production units earlier today. That is unrooted, no mods, and no tweaks done.

ferdinand marte · 13 years ago

yehey!!!

Boomerwhang · 13 years ago

Paano naman maglalabas ng madaming units? Di naman sila ang gumagawa nung units, binibili lang nila sa Ainol (China) ang mga ito, tapos tinatatakan lang na CM, tulad sa CD-R King.

Notorious pa man din ang Ainol sa pagawa nang mga units na may short production runs, na biglang phase out (kaya nga konti lang ang Flame tablets na lumabas), kaya madami tuloy bugs at quality issues ang mga gawa nila.

lilboyblue · 13 years ago

^ this i second. I’ve read a number of complaints regarding quality of Ainol products (especially malfunctioning screens and buttons)

I’m not sure though if CM really acquires there products from Ainol.

oyo · 13 years ago

Bakit kailangan pa papilahin ang mga tao. Sana
maglabas na lang sila ng maraming units. Yung ibang pumipila ni reresale nila ng mas mahal. Local na nga may ganun pa. Nagtatanong lang. Peace.

Joe · 13 years ago

Just got my Fusion Bolt a couple of hours ago. Will try out the ROM upgrade after I finish with the initial charging. It will be really awesome if this works!

So far the only ROM I’ve been able to find is for the Ainol Novo 7 (not Lite). Is that the one you used? They should be compatible kasi clock speed lang naman pinagkaiba nila.

ManlolokoCM · 13 years ago

tweaks, magic at overclock = 11k antutu points

Rob · 13 years ago

It’s 4,000 pesos guys. Buti nga may firmware upgrade pa eh

bvGanda · 13 years ago

the tegra line of GPU’s are wayy better.

no way · 13 years ago

..forget it…that GPU sucks…if CM releases a quad core tab with atleast an andreno onboard i’ll rethink buying a cm product..and please..the ram,rom and battery should get an overhaul too…

no way · 13 years ago

adreno i meant.

ferdinand marte · 13 years ago

Go Cherry Go!!! I’ll get one if the production release is indeed optimized with the new firmware.

Justin · 13 years ago

CM: Aha! May tweak pala to improve the performance of our Fusion Bolt tablets. So instead of the P3,999 SRP, gagawin na naming P5,999! :)

ryanrudolf · 13 years ago

its slow even if the benchmark scores have improved?

Freeje · 13 years ago

The Ainol Novo Venus is quite slow when I tried to open document files using Kingsoft Office. It takes awhile to load a ppt file and even slower to load slides. Not so good in gaming given the lowly GPU used.
