iPhone 8 it has computer performance crammed into a mobile phone case, according to the founder of the company that developed the famous benchmarking application, Geekbench. In a recent interview, he spoke about the amazing performances offered by the company's products Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), for its customers, these being much, much larger than those offered by the Android platform at the moment.
iPhone 8 offers during this year the biggest increase in performance ever recorded for a new mobile phone model launched by any manufacturer. The CEO of Gekbench is amazed by the achievements of the Apple company with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, saying that he does not understand why in the case of the Android platform there are no similar increases in terms of the processing power of the processors offered in the phones.
iPhone 8 has processing power comparable to that of computers, not necessarily to that of mobile phones, because there is no mobile phone that comes close to it in terms of performance. Even in the case of tablets with ARM processors, there is nothing similar, apart from Apple's iPad tablets, and they do not really matter in this comparison because they are made by the same manufacturer.
iPhone 8 – computer performance in a phone
iPhone 8 has better performance than some laptops launched this year, and here we also include Apple's MacBooks, so the jump is amazing. The CEO of Geekbench says that when he bought the first iPhone model, he would never have imagined that he could reach the point where he could see such processing power as that of the iPhone 8.
iPhone 8 has a new A11 Bionic chip that offers these amazing performances for any kind of mobile phone, being at least one step ahead of Android competitors. Android phones perform 50% worse than the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in synthetic tests and it's hard to say if the future Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip can come close to what Apple currently offers.
"The thing that I don't fully understand is why performance has seemed to stagnate on the Android side. Where you don't see these big leaps forward. I don't understand what's happening there. At this point, you've got desktop-class performance in a handset. There's no way of looking at it any other way. I think there are all sorts of other cool things that we're going to be able to do on our phones down the road that we can't even necessarily comprehend right now."
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have extremely high processing power provided by Apple, but this is not fully visible in the daily use of iOS 11. Unfortunately, it seems that the iOS 11 operating system still does not use as much as we need the processing power of the A11 Bionic chip for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, but probably Apple will solve these problems in the future, so it remains to be seen what we will get in the prepared updates.
