Later Qualcomm understood and followed Apple's strategy.

In reality Sony XZ Premium beat iPhone X in every single area - app loading, browsing even game loading.
As Steve Jobs sad - it just works.... Better than iPhone.

Apple uses two high performance cores. Single thread performance is still much more important for mobile applications. More cores are a nice for efficiency sake though.

It's so funny how people defend apple saying they don't need this and that and then when they finally do release it's the greatest thing in the world... screen size, ram, multicore, file browser etc
Like i said in my original comment though it will no doubt be an absolute beast of a processor but it's still late to the party as an octa core.

Great it will be fast as light and with no practical use.
Also it will cost twice as much.
Shame for greedy apple.

I'm 110% sure that it wouldn't be based on 7nm process. It'll still be 10nm only. 7nm will be introduced on the A12 chip!

Do not forget peak points and bottlenecks.
The thing which Qualcomm tried on MSM8994.
Apple will lower the frequency in A11X and if do so, ~30% more powerful SoC will be seen toward A11.
7nm production is not what apple think with such big power hungry cores.
If Apple just makes A11 bigger by CPU cores and GPU frequency/cores and call it A11X, for some user, it's beast under the hood, for others, it's headache under frying pan.

But for years we've heard how apple is so amazing it doesn't need multi-core chipsets and that more cores are just stupid.
LOL same old apple late the party as usual, will however no doubt be a beast of a chipset.

It'll be far better if it was 4+4 configuration.
Although... considering every 100 MHz of Monsoon core is 200 points in geekbench. I really would not be surprised if the A11X scores 4700 or so. (then again. even as a B.sc in software engineering. I am not even sure how the formula of geekbench even works for scoring when tweaking the frequency of a certain core. so take it with a grain of salt.)
and then... considering a Mistral core scores 1950 points.
I really wouldn't be surprised if A11X scores 12,000 points in geekbench. o.o
