Remember, this is not necessarily true, it is from rumored sources. . . but it is consistent with Apple's development cycles and jumps ahead in technology over the ARM processors available to other makers.

In fact, on standard bench marks the current Apple A10 dual core in the iPhone 7 plus has been beating the processor in the Samsung Galaxy S8 in everything except multicore geek bench mark speed tests, so it stands to reason that the newer A11 would beat it too and also beat it in the multicore.

I dont think it matters any more in any Rea sense. Phones are fast, period.

Tom's Hardware reports that alleged geek bench scores for the new Apple A11 four core processor bests the Samsung Galaxy S8's Snapdragon 835 processor in Geek Benchmarks including multicore benchmarks. In fact, the A11's score of 8975 seems to out gun the Dell XPS laptop's Intel i7's score of 7915! If true, it means that Apple is bringing a very powerful processor to bear in the iPhone 8 this year. — PING!

Why would anyone buy a telephone for $1000? Crazy.

ARM is now a viable desktop option. Not sure if there is market for it though. But what about the server market? Isn’t heat more important to them?

For instance, YouTuber PhoneBuff found that the iPhone 7 took 1 minute and 16 seconds to load 16 apps, versus 1:24 for the Galaxy S8.

There will be flaws

I know you deify Apple and I own a butt load of the social justice warrior phonemaker products

Around 20 in my family and company

I’m listening to Bears Choice volume one on my two year old iPad ...smokestack lightning

I like the pads better than the phones

The phones have quirks like keyboard hiccups and sound dysfunction

Intermittent

Problem is you get used to Apple it’s hard to switch

I do like the Droid force with the jbl speaker on back I wish Apple had something like that

They have improved their Bluetooth compatibility in vehicles finally

But that glass breaks too damn easy

You’ll deny deny deny but out here in realville we ain’t fooled

I have over a dozen upgrades a year from Verizon and lol.... I need em

Every iPhone we have except mine is a spider web of glass

They still work but the optics are a mite strained

I’ll buy an 8 they are out six months

[Mr. K]

So they post benchmarks from a real phone compared with an imaginary one?

Yeah that’s cool...

[Irishguy]

i think its great that competition is driving this up and up. more spped is more flexibility and better apps...

the one thing i want is a battery that lasts more than a day and lets be honest if you use your phone you have the new 1000 yard stare...i.e. wheres the closest charging point..jeeze its not a lot to ask to get a few days at least...is it?

How do you compare apples with androids?
Completely different platforms.

“To put the iPhone 8’s supposed performance edge in perspective, its result would also outgun the Dell XPS 13 laptop.”

To be fair, while this is still impressive the XPS 13 is only running a dual-core “i7”.

(I’m not at all a fan of Intel’s current processor naming scheme. As a matter of fact, I’d love to see Apple bring out systems based on Ryzen.)

What about in the fire starting test?
