AnTuTu scores suggest iPhone 12 chipset is downclocked, GPU is slower than on the 11-series

16 October 2020
The Apple A14 chipset is also used in the iPad Air (2020), which posted higher scores than the iPhone 12.

    Y, 16 Oct 2020Apple has been proven multiple times to artificially increa... moreNo, Geekbench scores are pretty accurate for measuring the CPU. They show roughly similar performance deltas across different CPU’s as SPECint and SPECfp, industrial benchmark used by intel, AMD, Apple, Qualcomm, etc to gauge the performance of their silicon.

    What is poorly represented is Antutu, which tends to favour Android over iOS for some reason. Their GPU benchmarks are not as bad as the cpu ones, but the fact that the A12Z, a 4x4 core cpu with 15% better single core performance than Qualcomm’s big core in 865+, and each little core is roughly 3x the performance of Qualcomm’s little cores, together with higher memory bandwidth meaning that there’s no way that memory bandwidth would hinder the A12Z, and STILL it scores the same as the 865+ in Antutu (185000 vs 187000), really says something about the flawed representation of relative scores that Antutu has.

    Here’s my breakdown of relative performances of the A14 and S865 (and 875):

    A14 = 865 + 50-60% CPU single core (geekbench)
    A14 = 875 + 20-25% CPU single core (geekbench)
    A14 = 865 + 20-50% GPU graphics (3Dmark, GFXbench, Basemark GPU)
    A14 = 865 + 120% GPGPU (geekbench metal)
    A14 = 865 - 10-20% AI inference (AImark)

    These perf metrics are from leaked benchmarks of A14 or from performance extrapolated from A13. Hope this helps

        Maybe he’ll have a better luck then.

        Clearly fandroids don’t care about standby time as they’re always too busy trolling Apple related articles.

And flagship Exynos 2100 is going to smash both chipsets. Geekbench indicates A14 on iPhone 12 scores lower than even the Exynos 2100. The days of Apple beating everyone in speed might be over.

                  A stupid phone can lasts for days in standby but will you use them?
                  Imagine someone buying a phone for the first time and they didn't find any charger. Oh right you have to spend another forty dollars. Apple just robs you blind and you're completely fine with that. Congrats! Now go collect your apple trophy.
                  I never seen someone using iphones and not scrambling for charger or powerbank after two or so hours of continuous usage. Even my brother in law has to plug his iphone to a charger everytime he uses maps while driving.

                      This is why Antutu is an unsecure website and kicked out of Google Play store.
                      To test, one needs Geekbench.

                        LMFAO...Jobs was not perfect. Great but not perfect. Cook made Apple the multi TRILLION dollar company it is today and it was not Jobs.

                        Question really is why are there more Apple Obsessed Fandroids concern about the lost of the charger and earphones? Non-issue for me, I never used my last charger that came with the box. Never even opened the earphones. I guarantee you there are millions of us.

                        I’ll tell you why you are concern, it’s because some ANDROID OEMs will follow.

                              What pray tell is the actual issue here? Typical fandroid thinking of more is better. Can’t really blame you people. This is just how Android conditioned you. It is after all a very resource hungry OS.

                              Android OEMs are fighting for customers by increasing resources instead of fully optimising the OS. Battery capacity this and RAM that.....

                                    Android will always have the market share as it’s open source making it a mass/commoners choice. They cater for every market segment and majority of fandroids play in the entry to midrange.

                                    Nice try though? You are dismissed.
