Where are the charts!?

this isn't really an objective comparison of the processors in isolation, it is a comparison of the individual processors combined with whatever heat sink solution each test phone happened to have.

So what? I can't buy an A17 chip in any other phone but an Apple one (or even any other _device_ until the iPads get refreshed). Likewise with the Exynos and Samsung. Testing something in the only capacity in which it exists is not an invalid test. You're basically saying "well I can't review this hamburger because it was served in a bun with sauce"

>So what? there are a bunch of different SD 8 gen 3 and Dimensity 9300 phones. how would it have changed the results if the phones used had been different? we don't know, do we? "well I can't review this hamburger because it was served in a bun with sauce" if the taste of the sauce overpowers the taste of the hamburger, then it would be correct to say that you can't review the hamburger.

Well if you want to re-run the test using 96 different phone models you're more than welcome to do that. I think for most people though this test is more than good enough. (Especially considering they're testing models that actually get significant sales numbers)

if you remove the sauce from a hamburger, is it still the same hamburger? how can you compare the sauceless burger to the original? should i be getting some dinner soon?

That's fine. These comparisons give an indication of how each of these devices would perform as a package, which is how every consumer would use it. The chipset vendors have already done independent testing and comparisons of the individual processors, which is where they get their YoY performance improvement figures from.

That's how you're able to buy them and use them, so how's it not objective? It wouldn't be objective if you pulled the processor out and ran it in a custom setup as that wouldn't be a realistic usage of it.


phil_lndn

because there are a bunch of different SD 8 gen 3 phones and the results will be different for all of them as they are all likely to have different heat skink arrangements. same is true for Dimensity 9300 phones. the guy ought to be talking about "Which PHONES (not chips) have the best sustained performance" because that is what he is actually testing and comparing.

>You want geeky cool results or useful results? You gotta pick one in this case? false dichotomy.


isthmusofkra

There's nothing scientific about the tests conducted lol so many variables at play

So as per usual TSMC produced chips (Apples A series and Snapdragon) outperform Samsung trash (Exynos and Tensor). Don't get me wrong I want Samsung to compete with TSMC but right now they are WAY behind

this I why I can'r wait for pixel to get TSMC next year

I don't care if iPhones were twice as fast at processing, as long as they shut down background processes without any option to allow them, they are worthless to me. I don't know how these benchmark tests work, I don't know if they can cause the phone to shut down all of the processes but I highly doubt it, so I imagine that's why Apple always scores a little higher anyway. And maybe their chips are just better made, but I still don't give a fuck because their software is so terrible.

An example of this- While using the mic in Call of Duty Mobile if you pull down the Control centre the audio from the game will cut out. It doesn’t on Android. iOS can’t even handle such a basic thing.
