It'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.
