    adreno 750 is flat out impressive, great job on that qualcomm. cortex x4 is disappointing with same power as A17 p core but a lot less performance. winning in multi core with less power is good though. overall its more impressive than the A17 to me

      For Geekbench 6 the power consumption is basically the same at higher frequencies and worse at lower frequencies.

      The reason the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 does better in Geekbench 5 is because it has more cores. In Geekbench 5 each core does a separate task, while in 6 they work together to solve a task. This change translates better to how smartphones use multiple cores in real life, but it also means multiple cores don’t scale perfectly in the benchmark.

      (Sorry if this was mentioned in the video, didn’t get a chance to watch it with subtitles yet).

      Peak performance doesn’t mean anything. The FPS on 8gen3 is nearly identical to 8gen2 in their real-world test as is the power consumption (which is somewhat shocking because 8gen3 has more shaders which should provide higher performance at lower clockspeeds improving PPW).

      The Apple comparisons were particularly interesting. Peak power consumption was higher on benchmarks, but the real-world performance per watt tests better for Apple (though Apple really needs to work on their heat dissipation). This shows that Apple hasn’t at all optimized their GPU to run at those crazy burst clockspeeds, but it does get good efficiency at reasonably clocks.

      As I’ve said over and over, the GPU peak performance metrics don’t mean anything unless we see these chips in a laptop or mini-PC. They exist only to lie to consumers about what they should expect from their phones.
