According to Geekerwan (who is one of the best mobile SoC reviewers) Apple does not destroy the competition. In fact, aside from the A17 single core score (which comes at the cost of increased thermals and aggressive throttling) Apple is the one destroyed in multi-core and GPU performance. All the while being on an inferior TSMC node.
>Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 comparison with A17. Apple's multicore lead is gone, GPU lead is gone, and the single core lead hasn't been smaller in a decade and has worse thermals.

- dagmx 2y agoThis is because the Adreno ~830 excels at mobile benchmarks and falls significantly behind in “desktop” oriented benchmarks. You can see this borne out in all the Snapdragon X GPU benches where they share the same GPU architectures respectively. Apple have the better GPU for more modern and demanding workloads. Qualcomm have the better GPU for more dated but still highly relevant mobile gaming needs.
