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.
