Not necessarily Anker related, but since this is a tech forum, I figured I’d see what your thoughts were.
Apple’s new A10X chip with their iPad Pros is proving to be a beast. In Geekbench 4, which doesn’t really mean real world results, the new iPad Pros are on a similar level as the 2017 MBPs, which is pretty impressive.
I’m wondering how much of that is iOS vs macOS, as I find it hard to believe Apple’s mobile chips would be nearly as powerful as Intel’s made for laptops.
If macOS wouldn’t lower the performance drastically, I foresee Apple’s custom chips being used in their MacBook Pros before we know it (a few years?) It seems like the performance of iOS devices has really gotten better the last several years as Apple continues to improve their architecture. Look at the speed tests. Some part may be optimization of apps, but five or so years ago, Qualcomm’s top of the line processor weren’t being overtaken by Apple’s, were they? What do you guys think? I usually make fun of Apple for being extremely slow to add new features, but they may be nailing the performance game with their custom designed processors.
