nouben, 12 Sep 2014Only less than 5% faster !In the presentation they said 50% boost in graphics over A7!
Im really disappointed because the A7 really nailed it and was on par with latest sp800 (at the time)...
Now qualcomm gonna crash the A8 with the 805 and 810.
All that said, Iphones are known for being less demanding than android in terms of raw processing power, so it will be interesting to see how to A8 fares in real life perfornance and the latest qualcomm chips

Oh but it is so advanced and far above everything else!
Even the a7 destroys s800, s801, s805, and all current exynos....
Delusional apple fans.
The cores are good, but limited, by speed, ram, and os.

Joey, 12 Sep 2014I just pre ordered the iphone 6, android phones may be a bu... more"expensive sd cards" -- Surely you must mean EXPANSIVE, as they EXPAND your phones memory. Otherwise that's just plain dumb, as they are the cheapest way to purchase flash memory and the reason the whole tech industry (from cameras to industrial machines) now use them.
Oh well, enjoy your iDiot phone.

But I'm currently using HTC One (m7) with SD600(3 generations behind those current high end Snapdragon) but still performs marvelously despite having used it for slightly more than a year now. Recent Nexuses are great consistent performer too. HTC One m8 is buttery smooth too.

I have no doubts that even todays very low-end Androids perform better than that.
Bottom line: Time passes by for all models, it's not just the Androids that get outdated...

AnonD-146024, 12 Sep 2014iPhone 3G was design change over original iPhone
iPhone 3G... moreIt is the same with Orchard dwellers, selective amnesia, possible bought on by consuming Apple products well past their expiry date.
The iPhone4 in 2010 became the FIRST iPhone to have camera flash (5MP) & the FIRST iPhone to have a secondary camera
The iPhone4S in 2011 became the FIRST iPhone be Dual Core 1GHZ Dual Core 512Mb RAM AND 8Mp camera
2012 & 2013 iPhone5 and iPhone5S BOTH 1.3GHz Dual Core 1 GB RAM 8Mp camera
iPhone6 1.4GHz Dual Core, STILL 1Gb RAM & 8MP camera
As you know there is the "Welcome to 2012" comparison
But before that IN APRIL 2011 the NON-METAL multi award winning SGS II 4.3" 1.2GHz 1Gb was available, which was sporting an 8MP camera
Benchmark scores do not negate the lack of high end specs in the IP6 and paying an arm and a leg for the "immeasurable?" smooth experience
It is called the Emperor’s new clothes
Apple have simply re-released the IP5S with larger display
Re 4.7" hype 400+ PPI, In Reality ‘Retina Display’ 326 PPI
The iPhone5S battery is 1650mAh it increased by 16% to 1810mAh, a 4.7” screen is 45% more than on the 4” but the IP6 will have the same battery life as the IP5S
A8 was stated being capable? of 2GHz Dual Core hype?
Reality 1.4GHz Dual Core (I expected 1.5 & 1.7 GHz Dual Core as on the BB Z10 & BB Z30)
SAPPHIRE COATING GONE ALTOGETHER? Hype was on 128Gb IP6 and ALL IP6+ also gone is Gorilla Glass, so on both phones Marmoset glass aka shatter proof glass.
This afaik is the ONLY 4.7” 16 GB phone to have ONLY 1Gb OF RAM (so congratulations are in order WEEL DONE APPLE)
Apple is just an intermediary; I have a contactless credit card and my SGS II albeit NFC payments are limited in value 3.5 years ago
Apple Pay uses NFC! and TOUCH ID i.e. the phone to authorise payment secured by FINGERPRINT, the credit card has to be authorised by you.
Apple have simply re-released the IP5S with larger
display,
A8 is 100MHZ faster so marginally better
You somehow lost the Gorilla, and NO Sapphire (iSmell insurance)
Do you need Apple Pay? (and is that progress?)and to work you need your iPhone to be powered!
Iphone6 is should be renamed iPhone5SS as all it is is phsyically bigger Take away applle pay
Here is the Iphone5S v iPhone5SS comparisonhttp://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5685&idPhone2=6378

As some thought, they weren't able to impliment the PowerVR GX6650 in the A8 SoC, so this is part of the reason ut came out this way. Maybe next time around.

Onscreen benchmark.......increased resolution.
DUH!
If you're looking at Onscreen, the A7 doubles Snapdragon 800 devices. Onscreen tests don't matter: Except in real world use (Which is all I care about and is REAL future proofing)

Just remember that the S5 processor runs at 2.3 GHz while the A8 at 1.4 GHz. Anyway you can bet that the iPhone 6 will run as smooth as in the first day, 2-3 years from now, while the S5 will lag like hell. Just like a S3 lags now. My S3 lags for 2-4 seconds when unlocking the screen, while my wife's iPhone 5 doesn't have any problems.
