First, app loading, specially light apps depends on RAM and storage far more than it depends on processing power. Hence the lack of difference and hence the fact that app loading is not a serious metric to compare processors.

AR/VR, High resolution video recording, rendering, FDE performance depends on raw power and that is where the iphone shines. Go look at the difference in quality of AR graphics on the iphone and S835 devices and come back.

Saying the S835 is the same as A11 for daily use is like saying a 2003 Civic is the same as a LaFerrari in real world driving. No its not.

    SKR..., 14 Nov 2017I'm 110% sure that it wouldn't be based on 7nm process. It'... moreThis is true. Remember, the A10X chip in the iPad Pro 10.5" was built on a 10nm process well before the A11 chip arrive on the iPhone 8.

It's funny how you wouldn't know about it, and remain arrogant about it.

      Yes, the A11 destroys the competiton in raw power. But in real life, there is no real difference between the best Android phone and the best iPhone in terms of performance for us consumers to notice it. Any speed difference between the two are just nitpicking.

        As the current A11 is already a beast that slays the competition, one can only imagine how perful the A11X will be?

        By the way, is it pronounced "A11 Ten"??? :P

There is no wide difference between the two. Only in benchmarks and video rendering it won. But other than that, these two chipset are neck and neck with one another in everyday usage, which is what matters most. But ironically, video rendering is not what people do in a regular basis, now is it?

Id rather have 4k60 recording, real time lighting adjustments, unmatched rendering and exporting performance along with future proofing.

              Comparing a slow and weak S835 to the A11 is like comparing a tuktuk to a space shuttle. A11x will only make the difference bigger.

                Anonymous, 15 Nov 2017lol you think opening apps is a 'speed test'In general, that's what matters anyway. So yes, opening apps is what people considers speed test.

                          But the interesting thing here is the 3+5 configuration, they're adding 2 more small cores compared to a10x, battery efficiency should be mega.

                                    also. Claim 5: "We are still waiting to find out the clock speed of the A11."
                                    We already know one clock speed of the A11. The Monsoon cores peak at 2.1 GHz. (2092 MHz to be exact) but we don't know the mistral cores's speed. (assumably 1.4 or so. but then. take it with a grain of salt.)

                                      Anonymous, 14 Nov 2017Built by the Taiwanese. even if it's Taiwanese. (and I've been in Taiwan. a gorgeous place with it's serenity. and liveliness) TSMC will create chipsets for all those who demand. so I kinda think it's wrong claim. (but then again. also samsung manufactures for all companies the SoCs. so even I'm wrong.)
                                      all in all. all SoC manufacturers are for all companies.
