Produced by Yunfei Chu
In 2021 and 2022, Apple's A15 SoC dominated the smartphone world, bringing awesome performance and power efficiency, and vastly outperformed Qualcomm's cursed Snapdragon 888 and 8Gen1. But today in 2023, we saw Qualcomm starting to fight back. With the redesigned Snapdragon 8 Gen2, could they stand any chance in the fight with Apple's new flagship A16? Let's find out...

Damn, NICE WORK?! 👍 *I’m a first time viewer and I just had to sub* because I can appreciate *how tedious it must have been to run all these benchmarks!* As an iPhone 13 Pro Max user, I feel somewhat vindicated in taking a pass on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It seems that the rumors of Apple engineers dropping the ball on A16’s GPU design are more truth than rumor. Apparently, Apple intended to add raytracing to A16’s GPU cores, but they simply couldn’t manage the thermal envelope presented by iPhone’s cooling solutions. Early iPhone 14 Pro leaks suggested that Apple would use a heat pipe for the first time, but no heat pipes were found once the iPhone 14 Pro began shipping. It seems as if quite a few of those early iPhone 14 leaks were eventually abandoned once Apple decided to fall back to use the previous GPU designs used by A15, along with Apple recycling the previous years’s SOC for the very first time in Apple iPhone’s history. It appears that Qualcomm has made significant improvements with Gen 2, catching up and even exceeding Apple’s A16 with the addition of hardware-based RT functionality. No one was aware of Gen 2’s feature set when Apple announced iPhone 14 and it clearly benefited Apple who had missed their internal features target with A16. It will be very interesting to see how Apple responds with A17, assuming Apple continues to develop new SOC’s annually? I think the story behind A16 is likely far more horrific than Apple has revealed publicly. The fact that Apple was able to salvage A16 despite their A16 GPU failure is a testament to the effectiveness of their marketing. iPhone 14 sales are still dismal, but Apple was never forced to reconcile an entire year lost to a poor GPU design. It’s inexplicable that despite higher clocks, significantly higher memory bandwidth and even a die shrink have resulted in completely average performance and efficiency bumps for A16. Lastly, what is up with MediaTek Dimensity 9200 and when will it ship in quantity?! I don’t know who’s working on MT’s GPU design, but their GPUs appear to be screaming fast?! MediaTek SOCs are often the choice for budget Android gaming handhelds coming out of China and I *cannot wait* to see some products based upon D9200 to arrive in US in Q3 or Q4 of 2023. With 10-core CPUs leveraging fast DDR5, we’re going to need some fast GPUs to get the most from all those cores.
