Apple does a lot of optimizing of their chips for operations that are common on their operating systems. One example is that their languages use reference counting instead of garbage collection. Apple optimized specific operations on the M1 chips that are used by reference counting call and that made a big difference in overall performance.
Android would not have that kind of close optimization so it is unclear if the performance would benefit from the A-series chips.
- MBCook 4y agoThat’s true. But given how much faster Apple chips are than the current crop of Snapdragon chips I’m guessing it would still be ahead running code that doesn’t optimize quite as well. Even if it came out even the energy efficiency could still mean incredible battery life when combined with the larger batteries that Android phones seem to have.
