Title: A18 Pro vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3: GPU benchmark results show Apple's new chipset is not superior
Post by: Redaktion on September 19, 2024, 22:19:53
Apple's new chipsets, the A18 and A18 Pro, have been put through a series of GPU benchmarks to see how they stack up compared to other chipsets. Results are disappointing, however, as the A18 Pro seemingly fails to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's Adreno 750.

Right now I'm more into efficiency and still comparable performance output, that's where the A18 might is looking to stand.

the MediaTek 9300+ is more powerful and also more efficient than the brand new A18/A18 Pro

We kind of already know that in real-life games even A17Pro is better than SD8g3

This new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 looks promising, finally!

We already know that iOS-optimised APIs make gaming on Apple devices slightly better than Android ones, not the chip to be specific. Apple SoCs have the best single-core scores, though

These benchmarks use the same apis. So either they do something wrong or games do something right. Outcome - SD is worse in real games.
Or maybe Qualcomm hunted benchmark numbers as usual and in real-life applications their GPU is limited by CPU.

Can someone proofread this line? I thought the premise of the article is that the A18s are behind Snapdragon 8 Gen3 chips but the first line seems to say the opposite?

QuoteThe A18 and A18 Pro on the new iPhone 16 series deliver identical CPU performance, with both chipsets significantly outscoring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on Geekbench.

Yeah like that is a trusted source

Author here.

The A18 and A18 Pro outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in CPU, but not GPU (which is what this piece is about).
