A monster chip in your pocket. With iPhone 8, Apple's Silicon Gap widens as the new A11 Bionic obliterates top chips from Qualcomm, Samsung & Huawei

Quote: “But Samsung isn’t the company with the proprietary chips that blow away the industry commodity chips, Apple is. So iPhone users get the best in both regards: they get the iOS experience and Apple-designed hardware, and they get the vastly superior CPU and GPU. And Android users who want industry-leading performance are **** out of luck. This is unprecedented in computing history. Windows users who want the best CPUs have always had that option. Android users don’t, because the best chips, by far, are Apple’s, and they’re proprietary.

The specs aren’t what matters — the effects are what matters. But the specs are what we can measure, and the faster the chips are, the better the effects are in the user experience.”

In summary: A11 chip is the fastest mobile chip ever produce to date until someone catch up with a newer chip.

Don't even have to tap to wake. Just bring up the iPhone X and then slide up the lockscreen. It will feel naturally.

That's if you've Raise to Wake enabled, no? I personally will not activate that for fear of unintended "raises" waking the phone unnecessarily.

LOL To think you even believe in Huawei NPU hype. There is no mobile chip right now that can beat A11. Not even Huawei upcoming Kirin 970.

Other than iPhone X, I believe people missed out another major breakthrough which is the new GPU designed by Apple.
calm down.

they are so confident, surely they are going to introduce something interesting using AI/Machine learning.

so far Apple only used it for their camera related applications + Face ID. I would like to see how others would use the power for AI.

Huawei already been using Machine Learning to save battery. no one knows whether it really works.

Huawei better come out with something decent or near the performance of A11 or even better as they claim. Otherwise, with that bold statement of theirs, they are going to be an industrial joke. Correct me if I am wrong, did Apple say anything like that when comparing to their competitors for A11? iirc, they only mentioned about how A11 is better than the A10.

They did not. But benchmarks came out on their own after the keynote how the A11 beats SD chips for breakfast and reportedly even faster than current gen Macbook Pros.

when you are #1, there is no need to troll the competitions :s13:

Apple used to do that, a lot, with the PC vs Mac Guy adverts.

No need to keep posting this la.

It's obvious Apple won't be the number 1 smartphone in shipped quantities, when all they want to is capture the "higher-end spectrum".

China and India will buy in tons of mid-range phones, but those margins not that good either.

And it goes to show when a company needs to compare it's result against another company.

Apple is still in that situation for watch, when they need to compare to watch brands to validate their product.

And it's not surprising that they can overtake Rolex in terms of "shipped" quantities, but they won't come close to the margins Rolex is making either.
