Geekbench showed Ipad pro is more powerful than macbook, and other pc cpu at that time, then Anandtech did test those cpu with spec 2006 and showed core M was ahead of of Apple soc.

This is less about battery life than it is about turning the phone into an electric grill.
Just read up on the Asus Zenfone 8 forums and you will see that it also uses the 888 SOC and is too hot to handle! I agree with OnePlus that we have far surpassed what is needed in a cell phone when it comes to SOC's.
Now if you "need" the latest greatest for gaming...then get a gaming phone which is designed for the excessive heat that is generated!

Which one:
SPEC? Is a standard in servers and anyone who has downloaded it has proved its results (goldenreviewer).
Jetstream? A subset of new tests that replace old benchs from 2010 era
Speedometer/Webview? It's from Google
PC Mark?
3DMark?
GFX? All of them from third-party software.
The only one who is somewhat made by them is the memory latency, but 1) is not a benchmark and 2) very few understand what it means to, in your head, make "apple look good".
So tell us, which one is made by them to make the fruit company look good?

You seem a bit confused.
Of course, Apple's own small core is weaker than Apple's own big core.
What I said is that Apple's won small core, despite being small and very efficient, are as strong as most of ARM's big cores. ARM small core designs are stagnated for years. Every year Apple improves it's cores a bit, including the small ones, meanwhile Qualcomm's SOCs are still crippled by A55.
Now finally ARM have a new little design BUT it shares the FPU between two cores and ARM quotes only a 35% improvement over A55! Apple's small cores are 3 to 4 times faster! If ARM's little cores had not stagnated for so many years no one would care about what OP did, because the small cores would be capable enough.

Never even heard of Vivaldi ... moreMan they assign cortex A55 to run popular apps, and disable Cortex A78 and X1 even die hard oneplus fan you should see something is wrong here.
Almost all companies has power profile, normal one which change automatic, battery saving which throttle and perfomance mode which run at full speed.

For example they'll design their own benchmarks to make fruit logo brand look good when it doesn't score that high on some other benchmarks, followed by labeling those benchmarks as unreliable or flawed.

Never even heard of Vivaldi browser.
Chrome iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, everywhere it's a cpu hog.
You don't want Snapdragon 888 high performance cores at all times in chrome, do you?
Battery would be wiped in 4-5 hrs.
Give me one reason why they only saw discrepancies in these two browser apps?
Why not test all other browsers like Firefox, Opera, puffin, etc.?

It's Qualcomm's fault honestly.
Manufacturers are doing their best to conserve battery life while using this beast of a chip.
If high performance cores are active all the time, then battery life will be poor. Then you guys will crop up again to blame OnePlus for bad battery life.

They push out a software update and the problem ihas supposedly disappeared. We then find out their stopping apps from fully utilising it. The reason is blindingly obvious. They are preventing apps fully utilising the CPU to cover up the fact it overheats Now they then waffle on about high end CPU's being overkill to try and cover up what is effectively throttling to prevent a dodgy CPU overheating.

This is a really tone deaf and self-defeating response from a company that wages their brand mostly on performance and software optimization. At the bare least they need a "we are sorry, we will strive to do better in communicating these features".

So yeah, the real issue is not that such modes exist, but rather that the users are not aware of them and cannot opt-out of that mode.
