Apple iPhone 7 A10 processor secrets: 11 times more powerful than Snapdragon 820

Although Apple's processors have always had only two cores, they have always had extremely outstanding performance thanks to their advanced architectural design. Their single-core performance far outperforms the Android camp, and their dual-core performance is not inferior to some eight-core and ten-core processors.

According to Weibo user @i冰宇宙, A10 will be the last product before Apple changes its CPU architecture. The subsequent iPhone 8 A11 will have a brand new look, but even if the process and architecture remain basically unchanged, A10 will have a leap forward.

Data exposed by GeekBench 4 shows that the A10 processor has a single-core score of 3379, which is unmatched in the world, and a multi-core score of 5495, which is basically close to the eight-core Exynos 8890 and Kirin 950.

In addition to the total score, @i冰宇宙 also compared in detail the differences between the A10 GeekBench sub-item scores and the A9, Snapdragon 820, Exynos 8890, and Kirin 955, which are also amazing.

The data shows that even the A9 has obvious advantages in many projects compared to these current flagship CPUs, and the A10 is overwhelmingly ahead. Only the memory latency is not as good as Kirin 955, and the memory bandwidth is not as good as Snapdragon 820/Exynos 8890. It seems that the memory controller of A10 has not changed much (but it is still 1/3 improved compared to A9).

Among the various sub-projects, the performance of A10 HTML5 is particularly outstanding, especially HTML5 DOM, which is twice that of Exynos 8890 and 11 times that of Snapdragon 820!
