03 March 2023
The new chip by TSMC will be just one of the main key features, driving a “replacement demand”.

USB-C will be nice when I upgrade. But you are dreaming if you think I will upgrade because of usb-c.

2.0 speeds in 2023 for the prices they are charging. WILDIN

    if my informations are correct :
    A17 bionic : ~40% better single core geekbench than GEN 3 curiosly geeknch often look nicer for apple - certainly not a thing of fate only - also I guess the HUGE difference in L1/2/3 cache for A17 plays into its favor. and it's good to have good cache for CPU performance.
    GEN 3 : ~30% better antutu than A17
    So I hardly beleive any benchmark or selfclaiming "amazzingness" of apple's performance anymore
    then apple has its dedicated hosted iphone and limitations - like 6GB memory and 48Mpix limits - so it's not apple-to-apple (yes it's a non great joke...) comparison
    lastly, they both are 8W TDP. That sounds nonsense, because that promise throttle, battery drain, and heat at same time. Both on 3nm , which is stil good old finfet.
    Overall, surely bionic are still more powerful, but certainly lot less than apple's claim.

            Yeah right, smartphone power is way beyond what most people need to the point of diminishing returns. Everything is pretty much instant at this point so even doubling performance yields millisecond gains which are un-noticable.

              Too bad no one can truely tap to its potential due to it being Apple Proprietarily Locked down to the core!

              Just an overpriced e-waste that those with disposable income buys for prestige.

                  Powerful chipset with too many os limits that waste its power. Apple is always like that.

                                        As long as iphone win on Geekbench as far as iphone fans care apple chips are better

                                        A hypothetical question
                                        if apple just keeps making the same chip over and over

                                        if android phone android phone ended up having better power effectively and performance
                                        Even based on Geekbench
                                        If android won by far

                                        Is iphone any good still
                                        I heard psychological level a lot there fans believe there better

                                        But if clear difference and android did become miles ahead is this still the case

                                        As am wondering how apple fans would react and I guess cope with it
                                        Say apple slowly fell apart what happens what would they do ?

                                        Am actually quite interested as unlike any android brand fans never so hardcore loyal in the way a apple fan is too apple
