  • iPhone 12 Pro models have 6GB of RAM, iPhone 12 & iPhone 12 mini sport 4GB

    The benchmarks corroborate that the higher-tier iPhone sports 6GB of memory, and indicate that the device scored a 1590 in a single-core Geekbench testing and 3120 in multi-core testing. For comparison, the iPhone 11 Pro tests around 1336 in single-core and 3545 in multi-core.

    Because of the discrepancy in multi-core score, it may be smart to be skeptical of the results. Geekbench tests can also easily be faked, and there's no way to verify whether these originated from an actual iPhone 12 Pro unit.

    The low multi core score could also be due to throttling - i.e. if the device was still being setup when the benchmark was done and was warmer than usual due to ongoing background tasks.

    The 3 GHz clock for that single core score is quite impressive and, despite the debut of Cortex X1, it should still allow Apple to maintain their single core performance lead over Qualcomm and Samsung.

    For reference, a supposed benchmark of the Exynos 2100 had it scoring 1323 in single core performance, which is about the same as last year's A13. Of course, the multi core performance was 4215, which is much further ahead of the A13.
    Here is one for the iPad Air 4 with the A14:

    Multi score should be tied with the Exynos 2100 and they have 8 cores instead of 6.

    Still a flawed test. GFXbench needs to be run in offscreen mode to be fair to both handsets. Also your iPhone is throttling in Geekbench. Multi core score should be over 11000.

    So, Qualcomm has effectively caught up to Apple in microprocessors
    They are still a generation behind the testing in this article/video is flawed. He gets lower numbers on the iPhone than usual. anandtech is a better source: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13786/snapdragon-855-performance-preview/5
    "The Galaxy S10 actually performs better than the QRD – putting to rest some of the worries we had on the early platform." - Anandtech
    Yes but not remotely better to overtake the A12 Bionic. I will give them props for the great sustained performance though, the 855 seems to be great at that.

    The GFXbench scores are not fair the S10 out of the box is running 1080p. You should run the offscreen tests to make it fairer.

    The A12 being so fast and efficient does matter a lot. People trying to downplay it are just being shortsighted, I hope the author can test apps like Adobe Premiere Clips to really show what advantages Apple has over everyone else in real CPU tests. Opening big games like Fortnite and PUBG will also prove that.

    Lastly, the fact the A12 is so fast will affect battery life a lot, if a games is locked at 30fps and uses 50% of the GPU on the Note 9 or the A11 chip that same game might only use 25% GPU on the A12 which would give you more playing time, a very nice thing to have.

    What Apple is doing is future proofing their devices making sure they are relevant for 4+ years which is not the case in the Android world, the resale value of iPhones really showcase that stark difference!

    According to this, battery life on the Note 9 beats the XS Max by quite a bit

    This test is very flawed on so many levels. First, 200 nits on the iPhone is 2/3 brightness? that seems way too high for a phone with a 725 nits at max. Also he doesn't show us the level of brightness the Note 9 is on and left it on 1080p resolution. The most blaring one is the fact Alto's adventure runs at a way bigger resolution on the iPhone, you can see the black bars on the Note 9... Second he uses a lot more Google apps that are going to be written better for android, gmail used 13% battery on the max but only 8% on the Note, you could see the resolution mattered because more text of emails fit in the window on the max. Lastly the majority of the content except youtube was different, loading web pages you get different ads on different platforms he should have used an ad blocker. Instagram had completely different content, the iPhone could have shown more videos than the Note affecting battery. I respect the author and what he is trying to do but this can be improved upon greatly by making it way more fair.

    Also easy to find other videos showing the opposite:
