    <p>Sorry, but you can't compare Geekbench x86 and Geekbench ARM. They're much more different than you'd think. </p>

      <blockquote><a href="#181219"><em>In reply to kherm:</em></a></blockquote><p>Why didn't your report the real story, iPhone 8 blows away the competition in performance. 54% faster than the Galaxy Note 8 with a Snapdragon 835. Graphics performance also crushed the competition in a similar manner. </p><p>Don't like benchmarks, how about real life applications: In a like comparison of video editing and export, iPhone 8 took 42 seconds, Note 8 more that 3 minutes, Galaxy 8 more than 4 minutes.</p><p>Opening a 5.1 mb pdf, iPhone 0.8 seconds, Note 8, 8.41 seconds. </p><p>Makes the Sansum flagships look like overpriced midrange devices in performance. </p>

    <p>"<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37);">However, Poole provided the important caveat that laptops are better at delivering sustained performance over a longer period of time, as opposed to the shorter max burst performance that benchmarks like Geekbench 4 are designed to measure. In other words, the iPhone 8 simply doesn’t have the thermals and heat dissipation necessary to replace your laptop."</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37);">Ahem.</span></p>

    <p>When Apple began designing their own ARM chips,…they've just absolutely run away with mobile speed and efficiency. They caught the whole world flat-footed and jumped to 64bit, and it's been a one-horse race since. </p>
