iPhone CPU/GPU Performance

iPhones have better CPU/GPUs though.

Maybe it's got a faster CPU/GPU. Saw that happen with computers and then phones for some 40 years.

Unless the iPhone10 has a cheap CPU

I'm not an apple Fan or user, but Rather than screen and other specs, they go for powerful CPU which is probably a small order of magnitude faster than the entry level chips Samsung puts in their budget line. This gives Apple freedom to update it for years.

As others have said, unless you're only changing one element in the hardware/software stack, it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. However, A5 is reported to use out-of-order execution, whereas A4 and earlier iPhone CPUs are purely in-order. Integer ALU pipeline length has reportedly also been reduced. The memory bus clock has also been doubled. All else being equal, a single A5 core should therefore beat the A4 on identical code. With a different JS engine on a different browser running on a

Not having good numbers doesn't suggest we ought to accept bad ones. If you have nothing to eat you don't eat right then you don't eat dirt.We aren't discussing smartphone applications. The topic of discussion was whether current generation iphones are on par with 2018 Macbooks. I think the practical answer is that the cpu on the phone is inherently limited by battery/heat/storage speed in actual usage. If the poster had simply said "felt as snappy as"

On what device? The A11 chip is far more performant than previous gens.

In practice, modern phone SoCs are fast enough for most purposes. It's not like the 4S (or even the half-again-as-fast 4) are slow. A great improvement won't really make too much difference to most users. Smartphone cameras, on the other hand, are still somewhat lacking and an improvement will benefit most users substantially.

Probably performance of A8 for most of people is good enough. At least for native apps.

The iPhone A series processors are better, yes, but everything else is worse.
