Ah true, in phone land the differences are extra stark. Given the lower margins and lack of service revenue on the Android side it's not clear if it's economically feasible for Qualcomm etc to match them. It's possible we'll see something similar happen on the Mac side where a something like a M1 Max iMac resets the bar for workstations. Then again maybe not, most laptops still have terrible screens despite Apple showing it's a solvable problem at least five years ago.
- GeekyBear 5y agoWith Phones, using a wide CPU design that runs at a lower clock has been Apple's strategy for quite some time. For instance, when power leakage became a huge issue at 20nm, Apple was less affected since they ran their clocks so much lower. >Apple is something of the exception here, with the 20nm A8 proving to be a solid SoC, thanks in part to their wide CPU design allowing them to achieve good performance without using high clockspeeds that would exacerbate the problem. https://www.anandtech.com/show/9686/the-apple-iphone-6s-and-iphone-6s-plus-review/2 https://www.anandtech.com/show/9686/the-apple-iphone-6s-and-...
