Especially when both large cores are used. The actual benchmark is even less than the clock frequency. Basically. The A13 struggles with heavy demand. And starts to slow. And the clock speeds swing way lower than 3% on just a light thread.

You are not going to have equal single core speed when 2x cores are in heavy use on the A13. And when 2x cores are used. The single core score decreases because the power is the same.

Gary explains. Will help you understand just why the 865 is actually by far better than A13 especially when true multi tasking. A13 is not at all a true multi tasking chipset. Despite apples marketing.

Gary explains... There is a formula.

This is Gary explains... And it's crystal clear as to how the A13 is over hyped.

Single core. Multi tasking and the details surrounding the difference between 865 and A13.

Read and weep.

    A diminishing of 76 Mhz (3%) on clock speed for single core is not "considerably".

Even with 6+ screens the real estate is not sufficient. Have you ever give it a try ? On tablets it's a completely different thing. I am missing something, or ipads do have split-screen as well ? Anyway, the only phone I can imagine the split screen would work is the galaxy fold, or at least in future iterations of it.

        No 120hz display - - - - > poor co-hardware.

        No DRAM to utilize 960fps or above slow motion recording even though the chipset supports it. - - - - - > poor co-hardware.

        No features like split screen multitasking on iPhone even though processor should have no problems - - - - - > poor iOS software.

        Plus plenty of other software features which simply are not utilized by iOS rendering the A13 behind Snapdragon and others.

        The A13 running Android would've wiped the floor with anything on the market.
        But afcourse running iOS paired with poor co-hardware,it gets bottlenecked.

Works in darkness, works with security if so desired, works without security if so wish. Can setup alternative scans. Blazing fast. can paste screen protector no issues.. unlike some sonic figerprint scanner..

                On android it is the major shame and worthlessness. Nothing but a camera. no flash in some.. some just a teardrop camera.. can't even scan face properly.

                    Anonymous, 27 Jan 2020Apple A13 chipset is bottlenecked by poor co-hardware and iOS. It's not.

                    Tried the iPhone 11 for tasking and yet it performed smoothly, compared to my outgoing Exynos S10e (which ran OneUI 1).

                    Gaming is also nearly exceptional. PUBG Mobile at HDR graphics Extreme framerate (with antialiasing turned off) runs smooth, with no major heat build-up and severe frame drops.

                    I have not experienced any issues with my iPhone. Though I heard OneUI 2 has improved considerably. Oh my X2 Pro is also running strong hehe

The most important change in my iPad after iPadOS is the capability to read and transfer Flash Disc datas. Now I can put every photos, videos, files and movies into my iPad 2t6GB internal storage.

                        You may laugh but for me this is serious and revolutionary because I'm android user and I don't have a single clue about freakin iTunes which people suggesting to me to sync my laptop with previously for data transfer..

                        Now I'm free to do whatever I want with my iPad outside iTunes.

                        One thing I'm object is the price of the adapter ($60) which quite expensive and need to be plugged to power to do the data transfer operation. But it's quite fast.

                        I transferred Ford vd Ferrari 6GB HD movie in few minutes

                          Yes apple take my money! Take note Android/Google. Thats how you earn loyal fans.

                            3 years later, Apple still don’t have the option to mask the notch.
                            14 years later, the homescreen still looks boring and still no T9 dialing.
                            While iPadOS got better treatment with multitasking, Apple won’t add it to iPhone even they have same amount of RAM.

                              That's not true. If you really read the anandtech analysis of the A13 you would know that as they have a table with that exact information.

                              "This is not the case with the 865. If anything the opposite."
                              How do you know that? There's no information about it. And what do you mean by the opposite? Do the clock on the A77 cores actually grows? lol what
