Tldw

• cpu clock is higher and when it boosts it can consume up to 14w, much more than A16
• however it is still more efficient than the A16
• gets slightly hotter
• apple is ahead of Qualcomm in cpu
• performance core is around 50% faster than qualcomm 8 gen 2
• efficiency cores are 2 to 4 times faster than qualcomm 8 gen 2
• on the gpu side, qualcomm’s 8gen2 from last year beats the iPhone by a small margin using slightly more power
• GPU performance is around 10% better than the steam deck but it can’t sustain it. (Thermal throttling)
• conclusion: good SoC but looks like some software tuning might be needed because the cpu boosting to 14w reduces the battery life in the pro models compared to iPhone 14.

I’m amazed how they managed to get hold of the new iPhones and run all these tests in such a small time!!

In case you don’t know they also have an English channel here youtube.com/@Geekerwan but they tend to post videos later on.
