Possible Qualcomm 855 Processor Benchmark

Thoughts? I say it can be already behind the A12 processor since the A12 had higher results based off this article:

My thought is, these benchmarks are irrelevant at this point in the smartphone era. Yeah the A12 will already be ahead of it in benchmark scores, but it's not going to make any difference in day-to-day real-world usage. Put the 845 in an iPhone with iOS optimized to that chip and it runs just as smooth as the A11 day-to-day. That's not to discredit the work that Apple puts into designing their own silicon, because they've done a fantastic job of it. I just don't think these benchmarks hold much weight anymore.

Given that so much of a phone's performance over its lifetime depends on things like battery life and peak power draw that degrade over its expected lifetime in various ways, these day 0 benchmarks are kind of useless.

Good point. We are at a level where you can expect high quality performance for several years to come. Apple is just slightly ahead of Qualcomm. Though, it would be interesting to see them phased out and the Huawei/Samsung/TSMC led production can take over because the US needs to wain off the crappy CDMA tech.

Definitely looking forward to Samsung Galaxy S10 series Note

Looking at iPhone X Plus this month, actually went with trading in the X for Note 9 with AT&T.

We are at the point now that I would rather have 40% better battery life vs 40% performance gains.

The whole benchmark argument is really obsolete now. It's all about the camera, battery life, and unlocking ease.

Yep, benchmarks are useless. My Note 9 outperforms my X by a lot in day to day usage.
