yes i get that but does no ones else see the paradox i see? like wouldn't it make sense if the low powered cores were 70% faster but then the high powered cores were at least 70% or more faster?? why not just have 6 of the faster ones? why have 2 extra cores that are for high powered situations, but they're only 25% faster than the old cores and not 70%

surely someone understand my confusion but also understands the reasoning and is willing to explain it?

they are comparing the new fast cores to the old fast cores and the new slow cores to the old slow cores. the numbers between fast and slow are completely unrelated. does that make sense now?

well why not

sorry for the autocorrect :sweatdrop: but yeah there seem to be little reason for owners of 6/6s/7 to buy 8 over the x especially if they want the better screen and whatnot


sure the 8 will be as insanely fast as the x with better screen than the 6/6s/7 that they are coming from, but if they are already spending that much money, why not just wait for the x?

I am getting the 8 because the X screen and form factor is untested and I don't give a poo poo about selfies and Snapchat. I am an s cycle upgrader and the 8 is in essence a 7s. the chipset is the same as an x anyway.

also I am ride or die on the smaller form factor between the normie and plus models. if the x had a smaller version I might have waited

low power cores are used when you don't need your phone to go fast with demanding tasks, they have some controller that decides when you use low speed cores and when to enable fast cores

The a10 couldn't use both fast and slow cores at the same time so they were measured at different speeds

to simplify, a10 slow cores ran at 100 computrons, in the a11 they run at 170

a10 fast cores(Hurricane?) ran at 1000 computrons, now they can reach 1,250

a smaller actual increase in speeds on low power results in a higher percentage number that marketing loves

also with the a11 you can now use all cores at the same time somehow, achieving even faster speeds

Apple hire me

iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, Apple TV 4K, and Apple Watch Series 3 models became available for pre-order at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time today, and many of the new products remain available for launch day delivery over five hours later.
iPhone 8 is slated for September 22 delivery in every color and storage size on Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint, for example, while only a few T-Mobile and SIM-free configurations have slipped to up to 3-4 week shipping estimates.

iPhone 8 Plus supplies are slightly more constrained, but even the larger smartphone remains estimated for September 22 delivery in several colors and storage sizes on Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint.

Supplies may vary by model, but based on shipping estimates, demand may be skewing towards T-Mobile or SIM-free models in Space Gray or Gold. Silver and Sprint appear to be least popular color and carrier respectively at this point.

Quite a few models remain available for launch day delivery in other countries too, such as Australia, Canada, Spain, and Singapore.

Back in the United States, customers can still order an Apple TV 4K with 32GB storage with September 22 delivery. The 64GB model has slipped to a 2-3 week shipping estimate on Apple.com.

Apple Watch Series 3 is the most constrained new product of all. Shipping estimates for many case and band combinations with GPS + Cellular have slipped to up to 4-5 weeks in the United States and elsewhere. Quite a few Wi-Fi and GPS only versions, including some Nike+ models, remain available for launch day delivery.

obv the management knows a thing or two about these processors

like how fast did u get these puppies running in an after work bet after a few beers? are they literally the best processeors
in the world

do they destroy i7s?

what's their downside?

they're the best mobile-targeted processors in the world. they don't destroy an i7 because they weren't designed to. the architecture itself is competitive with intel at this point. this specific implementation, since it's targeting devices with passive cooling, small enclosed spaces and small batteries, is designed to work best under those constraints. even so it is performing at about the same level of a laptop CPU.

if apple were to take this architecture and apply it to a desktop-class CPU, adjusting the design parameters for that kind of target, it would likely be on par with intel's chips in performance, more or less.
