Apple's A20 Pro shatters Geekbench 7 single-core record — 2nm chip beats desktop Intel Core i9 and AMD Ryzen 9 by up to 32%

    They always do this comparison and it is always misleading. They are the first to get a processor on the new TSMC node, so of course the processor will be faster.

    All of this performance is wasted on Apple’s closed hardware and OS. What a shame.

    I don’t really like geekbench. It always feels like it favors apple devices.

    Actually insane they are beating desktop processors with a phone CPU.

    I like my iPhone but damn it’s locked down. I bought it, I should be able to go to GitHub, grab a project, compile it and run it.

    And can do that for two seconds before throttling.

    They probably optimize for the benchmark… Many GPU companies was caught doing the same thing in the past, by detecting the binaries.

    I’m sure many will disagree but I don’t see a point to this; it’s neat I guess but why? Edir: Well, I’m listening…

    I hope everyone reading this realizes that score chart is misleading at best. They failed to point out clearly in the posted image in OP that the scores are for burst compute. As in, if the chip sustained that workload for more than a few seconds it would fry itself. Taken out of context, everything can be impressive. That title is really, really misleading.
