Apple iPhone 14 Pro A16 Bionic vs. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
As per the latest report by Mac Rumors, the much-awaited benchmark comparison of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the iPhone 14 Pro's A16 Bionic has taken place.
And it looks like the Apple chipset for its high-end flagship devices easily outperforms the processor for future Android phones.
The giant chipmaker for Android phones, Qualcomm, has debuted its newest mobile chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, early this week, Mac Rumors reports.
However, it is worth noting that the new processor is set to see the light of day in future Android phone offerings launching before this year comes to its final curtain call.
And as such, this new Snapdragon chip is expected to power the upcoming Android flagship devices. For the rest of 2023, most new phone offerings potentially feature this chipset.
Given that, an early benchmark test showcased how capable the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is. And to better put it in perspective, the performance of the new chip has been compared side by side with the latest chipset of Apple for its all-new iPhone 14 Pro.
