Apple’s iPhone X & 8 beat Samsung’s Galaxy S9 in benchmarks

The Apple A11 chip betas Exynos 9810 chip in benchmarks

Sine Apple started making their own chips they have beaten all of the competition performance-wise. The iPhone X and iPhone 8 have been the king of performance in the smartphone market but when Samsung announced that their new line up of phone the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ will have the Exynos 9810 chip many thought that the title will be taken from Apple according to the latest benchmarks that title still belongs to Apple’s A11 chip. 

In Anandtech’s latest benchmark it was revealed that the A11 chip might be far better than the Exynos 9810 chip. In Geekbench 4 Single Core performance test the Apple A11 and A10 chips both beated the Samsung Galaxy S9’s chip. The Apple A11 got a 4,630 integer 3,958 floating point. The A10 chip got a 4,007 integer and 3,345 floating point. The Exynos 9810 chip got 3,734 integer and 3,440 floating point. The Snapdragon 845 got a far lower score of 2,718 Integer and 2,041 floating point. On every other test that they did the A11 chip beated the Exynos 9810. They did say that Samsung will lower the Exynos 9810’s performance to match the Snapdragon 845.

In these tests the iPhone X and sometimes even the iPhone 7 did beat the S9 but that could be because the S9 that was sent to Anandtech was not optimized and the final product might be much more optimized than the demo version. Anandtech wrote, “One of the Samsung spokesmen confirmed to me that the demo unit were running special firmware for MWC and that they might not be optimized. I’m having a bit of a hard time believing they would so drastically limit the performance of the device for the show demo units and less so that they would mess around with the scheduler settings.” If the demo version doesn’t have some problems, this could be bad news for Samsun considering that iPhones that are going to be released this year are probably going to have some performance improvements.
