qualcomm/exynos vs apple A series

[Michael Goff]

all socs are using arm instruction sets and customizing them to fit there needs but the base core architecture is based off arms instruction sets the are used.the a10 is using a custom core based off its newest instruction set and is not fair to compare it to last year's instruction set that were used in the a9 and gs7 and note 7

just because it was released in the same year doesn't mean anything.you are comparing 7-8 month old architectures to the new custom cores using the latest arm instruction sets.

the gs8 will also use the new instruction sets and is the core to compete with the a10.like I said they are in different cycle release dates and not fair to compare.

what will you say when snap dragon 830 comes out and beats the a10? you will say wait for a11 to go against it etc.

I'm going to make a bold prediction. It will beat the a10 in multi core but won't touch the a10 in single core. I'm looking forward to seeing how much it beats the multi core by. Qualcomm has been disappointing lately.

"Lately"? Always.

One of the the reasons I was enthusiastic about the S6 was the return of the Exynos line.

Qualcomm can toute the performance of their snapdragon line in marketing material all they want but in practice Apple and Samsung chips are better alternatives in real world applications.

How they've managed to corner the market and become the Pentium of mobile I have no idea.

Lack of a mass market competitor, mostly.
