patoka, 06 Nov 2018Yeah, that's all great and everything - the power of the a12x is undeniable but the point here... moreThey dont refer to games in any moment, i think.
But to raw performance in flops.
The gpu on both have 1.4Tflops, but they cannot be directly compared.
Even the tegra X1 achiave 1 Tflop back in 2015 but at 20w or so.

Bandwidth is a bottleneck in almost all gpu related applications, so not really a surprice to see the big improvement her.

I use benchmarks just to assess the preformance. as it SHOULD be. and not just to determine which is better. ^^;

omgh so what now ??? are we need some pointless benchmarks ?
-Blinks- HOLY. this is a crazy one... the CPU growth is expected.... however the GPU one is surprising. JUST 3 more apple GPU cores. (I call it the Apple G12MP7 in the case of A12X) nearly TRIPLE it's GPU preformance?! something's kinda spooky here imo.
Anonymous, 06 Nov 2018Ios would provide all of them. Apple is porting xcode as we speak.
It only takes time 1-2 y... morelol Be a bit more realistic. Intel won't die because Apple is not one to sell reasonably priced products. They cater to less than 10% of the population on Earth. People will still buy cheaper windows pcs and laptops for personal use. They will still buy cheaper Android phones and tablets. Businesses will still buy cheaper solutions.
Don't live in a dreamland where everyone will suddenly start buying $1000+ tablets, laptops and phones. Yeah, that would be a nice world without poverty, less crime and such but ain't happening. That's why for every iphone sold there are a hundred android phones sold, because most people don't want to pay this much or can't afford to do it. The numbers are similar when comparing macbook sales to windows laptops' sales.
StraightEdgeNexus, 06 Nov 2018beware? lmao... this thing still costs an arm and leg and still won't do half what a full OS w... moreIn my scenario it does all the stuff a full OS does and also a lot more .
A tablet is light ahead for content consumption. Didn't hear anyone comparing about his on laptops. Fanboys much? Double standards much?
patoka, 06 Nov 2018lol This is hardly productivity. I'm not talking about being a student that has to write a rep... moreIos would provide all of them. Apple is porting xcode as we speak.
It only takes time 1-2 years. Before today the horsepower was not there so no need. By 2020 Apple would have all major Mac Apps ported to arm architecture so that to prepare the Mac to A14 migration.
That way Intel will die, lol
StraightEdgeNexus, 06 Nov 2018and? I don't deny it's performance. i'm just questioning it's relevance
it still remains less... moreIt costs $799
Mentally Ill people would pay $2000 for an iPad
It has usb-c you can use external storage for media and photos , so no need for more than 64gb internal
It's the cheapest device with such an ultra high end CPU/GPU.
The only reason people don't buy it over traditional PCs is because Apple moves at snail's pace and very few pro apps have been ported (some music apps, Photoshop and half the MS Office).
Hopefully more would be ported soon and Intel will die (finally)
Anonymous, 06 Nov 2018Is the Bugatti Chiron for most people?
Nope, it's mostly for those who can afford it and a... moreOh, come on. Stop twisting the comparison in different directions out of context. The Chiron is super fast and there is zero benefit of buying one (outside of bragging rights) if you're only going to be able to drive it as a Ford Focus. Period.
It is a niche product that has sold 100 units worldwide, that's how limited it is - I highly doubt the target of Apple is to sell 100 ipads, but anyway right now they have positioned the new pros as a sort of a niche product. It's nowhere near as versatile as a laptop, it doesn't have the game library of a console, yet it costs as much as a good laptop together with a nintendo switch that you can use to play anywhere way better games than anything on ios.
Cannot use mouse
Cannot use 3rd party usb peripherals
Cannot properly access file system
Cannot directly copy paste multimedia files from PC
Cannot use non WebKit based browsers
Cannot run analysis software like SPSS.
Cannot interface with many devices
Cannot install non ios store apps
And more....
Laptop replacement my a###. Useless antutu scores are useless. I7 based surface will run rings around this glorified toy.

Nope, it's mostly for those who can afford it and actually want to spend that kind of money on it. It's not a product for the masses.

It doesn't matter if its 2 or 10 times faster than the previous ipads if you only use it for apps or mobile games that any cheaper ipad (or mostly any phone to that matter) can play just as well.
People don't care if it can process 50 RAW images 30 seconds faster in Adobe Lightroom because most of them don't know what RAW and Adobe Lightroom are. And most people won't pay $1000+ just to be able to start the mobile version of PUBG two seconds faster or for the browser to load a webpage half a second earlier.

As someone mentioned below, it's the Bugatti Chiron of cars. It's not a minivan and it's not a truck or a bus.

it still remains less capable than a real laptop because it's held back by it's closed platform. and the price argument still stands, it costs around $2000 vs $600 laptops which are powerful enough
patoka, 06 Nov 2018Yeah, that's all great and everything - the power of the a12x is undeniable but the point here... moreWith this argument a Nissan Qashqai is a better car than a Chiron.
