lol check the benchmarks for yourself
"slower in single core"
A19 is 2% better on geekbench, that is the same
"slightly faster in multicore"
Snapdragon is 24% better, that is not slight, that's a huge difference
The vaunted apple silicon has been surpassed by Qualcomm. Accept it and move on.
We put Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 against Apple A19 Pro to find out which SoC is better. See performance comparison in benchmarks and games.

Hilarious. You pick numbers from the Qualcomm reference device (which ALWAYS turns in higher numbers than actual devices).
Here’s Gary Explains from Android Authority (in case you want to claim bias) testing devices. In short the 8 Elite Gen 5 is, as I already stated, pathetic.
It can turn in higher numbers, but generates so much heat that it throttles. So you can get higher performance only if you run a shorter test where the processor doesn’t heat up.
Look at the stress tests. Elite Gen 5 is all over the place but ends up turning in lower sustained numbers than the A19 Pro. The Dimensity 9500 also jumps around but does better than Qualcomm.
You’re also leaving out several important facts.
The Elite G5 is clocked higher. The prime cores are at 4.6GHz vs 4.26GHz for the A19. That’s 8% higher clock yet it still scores slower in single core. Your 2% claim is asinine. It’s over 10%.
But the real kicker which shows how bad the Elite G5 is? The Elite G5 has 6 performance cores clocked at 3.6GHz compared to 4 efficiency cores in the A19 clocked at 2.6GHz. That’s a whopping 38% higher clock speed and it has 2 extra cores to get slightly faster multicore results than Apple. Again, pathetic.
We haven’t see Geekbench numbers or numbers from the released phones that are getting”software updates” to deal with the excessive heat (Realme GT8 Pro and RedMagic 11 Pro both overheat and the OnePlus 15 couldn’t even finish the WildLife test without shutting down). So final numbers will get even lower.
Finally there’s the cheating issue. Every single Android manufacturer has been caught cheating on benchmarks (with the exception of Motorola). They all ramp up clock speeds or ignore thermal temps to get a good score when they detect a benchmark running. Apple has NEVER been caught cheating in benchmarks. Which is funny when people say benchmarks don’t matter yet Android OEMs cheat in order to produce higher numbers.
Bottom line, when we have aggregated numbers from devices tested with final firmware it’s going to show the Elite 8 Gen 5 as nothing special except maybe use as a hand warmer.
