Bleep Qualcomm right in their Qualcomm-hole

Would you care to quantify that guess?

For example, in the other thread, you seemed to be over the moon about the A10x results. Anyone else looking at those results would have seen that they basically did nothing. No frequency bump compared to A10, despite having a tablet power envelope to work with. The only improvements they got were on memory-bound synthetics from doubling the memory bus width (but that translate to no performance gains on real-world CPU bound tasks), and a big gain on one sub-benchmark from increasing the cache by 2.5x. But for everything else, there were basically no improvements.

Fuck yes I will and I already did.

@wumpus

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and estimate that the A11 will be…

A10, iPhone 7 → 3325
A10X, iPad Pro 2017 → 3930 (1.18×)
A11, iPhone 8 → 4422 (1.12×)

I’m saying A11 will be over 4100 and closer to 4400. Let’s say if it is 4300 or higher then I’m right, otherwise I was just “close”.

4100 kinda sucks since it’d be barely faster than the 2017 iPad Pro.
