Except it hasn't. It has to clock 7% faster to get within 5% of the A18s single-core performance. Just divide the single-core score by frequency for each and you'll see, its' approximate IPC is at the A17 Pro level.

Every mobile dev will laugh if you say this about Android in his presence.

Usually this means there's around zero computing needs. Even a proper office suite is non-existent on Android.

The "won" because people love the convenience and stability of the environment (people love to bash Android or iOS but both are very stable, mature OS now.)  I can do pretty much 99% of my computing needs on a Smartphone (Android,) versus my laptop, which still has difficulties with audio drivers(Linux), used to (Windows) nag me constantly about s*** I never wanted(Copilot,) and on and on.  Yeah I use my laptop (currently) because actually creating is easier in many tasks using a bigger device, but the vast, vast majority is done via Android.  And I have had zero complaints about speed on Android for about 5 years now?  Stopped gaming maybe 7 years ago, so any performance increases there are meaningless to me.

If android (including iOS and mobile OS's in general) weren't such terrible operating systems to begin with maybe you'd have apps and software other than bank apps.

I don't think there's any dev who likes these platforms. It's more "they won so we kind of have to support them despite the terribly painful experience it is interacting with it".

So blame Google for not doing enough there. No wonder Qcomm is trying to branch out to full desktopOS's like windows.

Why aren't they adding the corresponding power consumption compared to others but rather stating figures without the clock speed in lieu with efficiency ?

Such as 2.0GHz cortex A78 consume 3W
Compared to 2.0GHz cortex A77 consume 8W

That's what tech savvy folks are looking for.

Catching up on geekbench score was never a problem. Catching up on power consumption is. S24 Ultra consumes 16W at full load and iPhone 15 Pro Max 10W, resulting in almost double full load battery life of S24U, on a smaller battery.

8Gen2 was a good chip, 8Gen3 is way worse, Gen4 will be even worse by the looks of it

This is fantastic, finally Snapdragon has caught up with Apple Silicon in terms of single-core performance. I hope this is true because this is great news!

Qualcomm is desperately and needlessly trying to push benchmarks not understanding that customers are leaving not because performance is low, but because price and power consumption are high.
So ok, 10K multi-core, why? Banking apps were lagging or something?
