You have dramatically overestimated Apple.
It's not two years behind, and it really depends on what part of the SoC you are talking about.
The SD855 should be compared to the A12
The SD865 should be compared to the A13
Qualcomm is ahead of Apple in GPU design.
The SD855+ is behind the A13 but is an older design.
But the fact remains that all chips look at PPA -> Power, Performance, Area tradeoffs and ALL mobile processors look a performance per watt. Apple isn't doing anything the test of the industry isn't also doing.
The new forums look nice, but as long as people like that guy are still here, it's just lipstick on a pig.
All this power to browse social media, watch Netflix, give me map directions and send emails! While the A13 has impressive stats, it seems more at home in a notebook than a phone.
It's great an iPhone 11 Pro has the power cure cancer, but will anyone really tap into that power?
Pardon me - but is this right:
"Text to Speech"
Or should it be "Speech to Text"
I mean - text to speech isn't such a big deal I don't think - unless it really tweaks pronunciation, or something I am not aware of. I believe it is Speech to Text that needs the computing horsepower.
Or are these terms used interchangeably?
I'm curious.
Natural language processing is extremely resource-intensive, yes.
Performance per What?
Probably used interchangeably by some, but these people would be muppets
Text to speech is the easier task, but there are still some problems, so it's not near a good reader yet. There are equal letter sequences that are different words (A live show about kids who live with their parents). e = mc^2. Chapter I, ii, iii and iv. King Alexander I (which will likely come out wrong, while Queen Elizabeth II has a good chance to come out right). Do you know me friends Seamus and Siobhan? And my nice niece who lives in Nice?
1 trillion operations a second...... I can't even begin to imagine. It's mind boggling to think how far we have come since the original iPhone
RISC-V only helps with some of the IP. And lots of folks will still sue for patent infringement.supposedly RISC-V designed chips would give all manufacturers completely control over the IP on chip.Just about all Chinese makers are on board. Waiting for Macs to have
still though lightning port
In other news, Apple says the new iPotato Chip snack was designed for "taste per bite". Astounding!
When is macrumors going to but back the unlike button for forum posts?

Sign me up right now.Oh man, another name for the lineup they seem to be missing. iPhone Mini!
One can only hope, as the idiotic/useless comment meter has been pegged even before I signed up.When is macrumors going to but back the unlike button for forum posts?
