How is it clickbait if I read the article, thought it was interesting, and decided to share it? The title isn't even attention grabbing or super relevant to the content anyways. 🤨 Also, it uses multiple sources and opinions.
Got a tip for us?

Other A15 vs A14

The A13 still flies and I haven't noticed any real difference in performance with newer devices (granted, I haven't had much hands-on time with the 12 Pro Max to compare) and reviewers last year said the same thing. Performance of the A14 vs A15 is probably going to be similar to the A13 vs A14--marginal, but decent enough gains YoY to be seen as an improvement. I don't know when the next time we'll get a massive leap will be (like going from the A6 to the A7 back in 2013), but I'm guessing we've got another couple years.
We have nothing to worry about, the A15 super super bionic is going to be a monster of a chip, the competition will need another 50 years before they catch up. 😎
Yep, could be a early test run, not expecting anything special though, it‘s a exynos chip rebranded with a google logo, will drain battery and heat up just from you looking at it. 🤦♂️😂
Every year this is said. Same stuff different year. Unless you are using your phone to create the next vaccine or as research for the next big jump in nuclear research, it will simply do the same things it does now: text, make calls, play games, watch youtube videos, navigate to your fast food joint, collect your electronic mail. Just breathe.
If you can have that extra horsepower, then why not, better to have it than not have it.
It will probably continue this trend:
As you can see, the increase is roughly linear, so each new chip adds about the same amount of performance. That will mean that the percentage increase each time is smaller than before though (I guess probably 10% or less between the A14 and A15) but the rate of progress isn't slowing down, it's continuing steadily. The leaked benchmarks seem to fall roughly into line with this.
