That's interesting, is that peak performance or is it sustained performance? I've given up on performance metrics for phones as 99% of them will just overheat

I've given up on performance metrics for phones as 99% of them will just overheat within seconds and throttle if you actually try to use the advertised performance.
I've never owned any apple product so I'm curious if this is the case for them too.
- skrowl 7y agoIt's based on one single benchmark (geekbench) that has widely been discredited when comparing platforms (like x86-64 vs ARM64). iPhones also fare much worse in sustained / multiple run benchmarks due to thermal throttling. In some test run in a loop, iPhones are as much as 1/3rd slower in their 3rd run vs their 1st run due to throttling.
- callalex 7y agoThe age old question: does a benchmark that runs for 20 minutes before throttling really represent any real world gains or lack thereof? For example I want a few images/videos to compress quickly before I share them with someone, but I will pretty much never need my phone to chew through gigabytes of data all at the same time. I want a webpage to load within a few seconds but I don’t constantly refresh webpages every 5s for 30mins straight.
