    The know-nothing anti-Apple trolls won't of course be posting this news
    either. The *current* iPhone CPU already outperforms the *yet to be
    released* new Android CPU. Even Apple's old A13 chip released in 2019
    beats the Android's current CPU.


    iPhone 14 Pro's A16 Bionic Outperforms Latest Snapdragon 8 Chip
    Coming to Android Phones Later This Year
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Earlier this week, Qualcomm announced its latest Snapdragon 8
    Gen 2 mobile chip and platform, promising to "revolutionize
    flagship smartphones" with "groundbreaking" experiences. The
    new chip is expected to launch in flagship Android smartphones
    later this year, but benchmarks suggest it cannot compete with
    Apple's A16 Bionic chip, which powers iPhone 14 Pro models.

    While the latest chip won't officially ship in smartphones for
    a few months, Geekbench scores for the chip have already been
    spotted in an unreleased Android handset. According to the
    results (via DealNTech), the latest Snapdragon 8 chip scored
    1483 in single-core and 4709 in multi-core. The A16 Bionic
    scored 1874 in single-core and 5372 in multi-core. For
    comparison, the A15 Bionic chip, found in the iPhone 13 Pro
    and the lower-end iPhone 14 models, also scored higher than
    Qualcomm's latest chip with 1709 in single-core compared to
    1483.

    In a press release for the new chip, Qualcomm said it will
    "define a new standard for connected computing, intelligently
    engineered with groundbreaking AI across the board to enable
    extraordinary experiences." Qualcomm's senior vice president
    and general manager of mobile handsets, Chris Patrick, said,
    "Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will revolutionize the landscape of
    flagship smartphones in 2023."

    Compared to the first-generation Snapdragon 8 chip, Qualcomm
    says the newer platform offers a 35% increase in CPU
    performance, a 25% increase in GPU performance, and an
    increase in power efficiency. In 2020, Apple's A14 Bionic and
    even the A13 Bionic chip from the year earlier beat Qualcomm's
    Snapdragon 888 chip that launched on Android devices last
    year.

    The A16 Bionic chip in the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌, like the latest
    Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, is built on TSMC's 4nm process, and
    both offer improved performance and energy efficiency. The
    A16 Bionic chip features 16 billion transistors, a 6-core CPU,
    a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. "The competition is
    still working to catch up to the performance of the A13, which
    we first introduced with iPhone 11 three years ago," said Greg
    Joswiak, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing,
    during the Apple event in September.
