At this point I do not think we have to talk or question the performance or potential of the A11 Bionic, the processor that the Cupertino company presented to us on the 12th at Keynote. However, lOr that perhaps we did not expect many is that in terms of power the iPhone 8 was the largest in the range. Well, take a seat, because indeed the iPhone 8 is the most powerful terminal in general terms that Apple has launched and will launch during 2017.
Clearly we must take this information with tweezers, since there are many details that make the iPhone 8 literally break the scores that go off the scoreboard.
To begin with, and being fair, the reality is that the iPhone 8 moves a resolution lower than FullHD, while the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X panels are clearly superior in that regard. For the rest, obviously FaceID and the size of the panel will require a certain capacity, so much so that the Super Retina screen of the iPhone X must necessarily affect performance. This is not to say that the iPhone X is not going to move, on the contrary, it is more than likely one of the most powerful devices (if not the most) on the market. Anyway, the difference is negligible, these are the returns it offers Geekbench:
- Mono-core processing
- iPhone 8: 4195
- iPhone 8 Plus: 4128
- iPhone X: 4028
- Multi-core processing
- iPhone 8: 10005
- iPhone 8 Plus: 9829
- iPhone X: 9287
- Graphics performance
- iPhone 8: 15624
- iPhone X: 15540
- iPhone 8 Plus: 15520
The iPhone 8 wins in all areas, in data processing it not only beats all iPhones, but also the rest of the products in the range, while in the case of graphics performance it is well below the iPad Pro 10,5 and his older brother the 12,9 iPad Pro (always speaking of the last generation). Definitely, the iPhone 8 despite its little initial success in sales is a true beast.
This data if that surprises me, in addition in multicore it advances to the Iphone X by enough, because they will have focused on the screen more than in other aspects and that everything is compatible and others.
This was the mobile that "nobody wanted", and now it is the most powerful mobile on the market. What things change from one day to the next.
And it is true that the difference in multi-core with the iPhone X is not small but rather quite. If the iPhone 8 is selling little it is because there are many people waiting for the iPhone X, whose main difference is the design. We'll see when it comes out how well Face ID works, because I foresee a rise in sales of the iPhone 8 for Christmas if they remain.
Greetings.
It is not about real power, in reality the tests are better because being the same processor, in the case of the iPhone 8 it has to move a low quality screen, in the 8 plus in the same way but larger and also with more pixels , so that finally the excellent screen of the Iphone X costs more to move it, however that difference is not appreciable.
Consequently, it is like playing some game in low graphics, it will run better, but it does not mean that it is better, to play in high graphics; It can be the same pc but the returns are still distinguished, even if it is on paper and is not perceived.
