I am very aware of that and implementation takes a huge role. I am comparing similar/identical IPs ported from 16nm to 10nm. I can't talk from Apple because I don't know what they have changed, but the A11 in non scientific metrics seems to run hotter than the A10 ( that doesn't mean it is...

Not to be disrespectful but Anton doesn't seen to be into this kind of things. He gets a lot of things wrong or outdated when publishing news about foundries. That apart, TSMC first claimed that 10nm would yield a 22%Performance and 40% power improvements over 16nm. Then they changed that to...

Two years in a row then. Last year 10nm didn't meet their targets either. Let's hope Samsung delivers with their 7LPP in time for the S9. I am worried if their PPA targets are over 10LPE or LPP.

I don't think the low power mode tuns off the big cores.

So their "little" cores are as fast/faster than Cortex A73 ? Do you know how much power they use ?

They are using the same little cores inside the A11 (?)

Yeah TSMC has a lead in performance over GF but there is a regression in perf/watt and perf/area in Vega going from 28mm to 14nm FinFet. There is a problem in the hardware don't blame manufacturing process for this terrible product.

There is no 14nm++ in GF. First products from GF at 7nm will start mass production in late 2018 and products to the market will depend on yields and how late that date is. So most probably expect big products using that node in early 2019. So if everything goes well 14nm+ for 2018, 7nm 2019 and...

The fact that they haven't licensed anything "new" since 2015 doesn't mean anything. IMG releases new architectures every few years and the improvements since then doesn't mean Apple has changed the architecture itself but just taking advantage from the improvements of new process nodes...

Last year they claimed the gains in performance as "architecture" when they just straight used the benefits of the trasition from 28nm to 16nm to get the performance targets. So I would not be surprised if they are doing the same thing again with 12nm, since there is no shrink all the...

So the performance gains in both are based over the previous 12.9 inches model.... cool They seem to use Geekbench for CPU and GFXbench for the GPU.

Anandtech got their hands of the MDP of the SD835 and made some tests on them. http://www.anandtech.com/show/11201/qualcomm-snapdragon-835-performance-preview Modest jump in performance and more focused on lowering the platform power consumption and functionality.

Maybe a custom version for Meizu (?).

Oh, you are right.

The Redmi Note 3 uses the lowest binned X20 SOC ( so less efficient and more power consumption ). And very likely a poor software implementation ( Meizu as an example ).
