Apple iPhone X A11 Bionic 6-Core CPU Crushes All Android Challengers In Benchmark Leak
By Nisheeth Bhakuni | September 16th, 2017
To put them into perspective, Samsung's Galaxy S8+ scored 1,845 points in
single-core performance and 6,333 points in multi-core performance when we
benchmarked the handset. Both phones are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon
835 SoC.
Each generation of iPhone brings with it a custom system-on-chip (SoC) with an impressive amount of power, and Apple is keeping that tradition with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X(pronounced iPhone 10). Each of those handsets sports a custom A11 Bionic processor with six cores of computing muscle—four high performance cores and two power efficiency cores. If early leaked benchmarks are any indication, the A11 Bionic is going to set some records.
The A11 Bionic is reportedly built on a 10-nanometer FinFET process. We suspect the two power efficiency cores will perform the bulk medial chores to maintain battery life, which Apple says will be 2 hours longer than the iPhone 7. But for heavy lifting, the chip is capable of not only firing up its four high performance cores, it can tap all six cores simultaneously. Combined with a burly GPU, the A11 Bionic looks like a fierce chip.
