tl;dr- s23 ultra with snapdragon 8 gen 2 performed much better under heavy load than the 3nm a17 pro on iphone 15 pm
which shows -
- node size is useless as a17 pro was more inefficient
- android apps are also optimised, sometimes better than iOS
- bechmark scores are useless
Interesting results. Wonder how much would change after further software updates on the iphone. 15 pro seems to have had a poor optimization. If they had taken this video a week or so ago, it would have been considerably worse.
This might be a limitation of their overall chip design. It’s meant to have a lot more power, but also to throttle more quickly. The A17 does this to a greater extent than the A16 (see RE: Village performance).
