Why is it that iPhone scores higher in benchmarks but Android has better app performance?
Do you base your purchases off benchmarks you find online?
>>
>>52186358
shitty programming I guess?
it's bit strange since iPhone uses C and Android uses Java
>>
Because iOS apps rely heavily on single core performance while Android apps thread heavily.
>>
>>52186403
Yes, that IS surprising. Do android do java well or is iPhone shit at applications?
>>

>>52186403
I always thought Android got memed as lagdroid because of the JIT compiler it used.
Also wouldn't the ART runtime also speed things up a little?

>>52186405
Isn't single thread performance more important than multithread though?
>>
>>52186469
>wouldn't the ART runtime also speed things up a little?

Dalvik literally compiled at run time.

ART compiles once after a fresh install or system update, after that when you open an app it's opening the binaries.

This still only affects app start up and not performance though, which doesn't really matter with how fast Java is on linux kernel.
>>
>>52186469
Less if your apps are threading well.

The performance of each of your cores is important but it also depends on how the OS/apps utilize the cores.
If you have four fast cores but your OS/apps don't thread well then you probably won't see any performance bonus over a pair of cores, but if it does thread well then you may see better performance from four slower cores than two faster cores.

Android environment utilizes more cores better than iOS does. That's why Applefags always go on about single core being the important value while Android apps outperform them on more, slower cores.
>>
>>52186403
Doesn't iPhone use their own compiler?
>>
>>52186358
It's like you were born yesterday.

Apple has been cheating at benchmarks before /g/uro existed.

But how does the iPhone win in benchmarks?

I know this might sound stupid, but would screen resolution affect cpu benchmarks or only gpu?
>>
>>52187515
The hint is on the screenshot you just posted.

The GPU on Apple's ARM processors are very good hence the high benchmark score. In the screenshot you posted, Nvidia, one of the leading manufacturers of GPUs, is at the very top.
>>
>>52187561
But weren't apple fans posting a bunch of cpu benches trying to prove the new iPhone was faster than a laptop i5?
>>
I just find it funny that a budget phone that is 3 years old is out performing top end phones that came out months ago.

apple's SDK uses clang, which is kinda funded by Apple, but is completely open-source and works on every platform imaginable

Part of the reason is resolution. See how low the 6 Plus is compared to the 6 and 5s?
The other devices in the list are older as well, mobile chips are pretty much hopping each other in terms of performance.

Resolution wouldn't affect a purely CPU bound benchmark but it will affect any onscreen rendering benchmark.

Many things are designed to do well on benchmarks. IPhone is one of them
>>
>>52191552

Because the apple's A-series processors are just designed for benchmarks, not real world usage. Especially since people love to use shitty benchmarks like geekbench. Apple just slapped a needlessly huge hardware crypto unit and laughed as they dominated the crypto tests of shitty phone benchmarks while providing zero benefit to the end user. Mac fags will quote poorly designed benchmarks all day long as long as Apple is wining them. But the ones Apple do bad in, like real world usage tests, they dismiss as meaningless.

Lol for some reason temple run in particular took 10+ seconds longer on android. In that same time span the 6P could load 10+ different apps. I have no doubt that for loading large apps, the iPhone's NVMe storage is a big advantage. But there's clearly a cross platform optimization problem there.

If you're going to do a head to head app loading speed test, you do one app at a time. You don't run 20 apps in a chain where the winner is essentially the phone that happened not to have a horrendously slow app crap out on it.

Even in that video though, system apps were simple faster on Android because the ridiculously long, superfluous UI animations on iOS. This has little to due with CPU speeds but software optimizations. In 9/10 apps, as shown in that video and in OP's, android is going to win simply because its designed to be a snappy, productivity orientated OS.
>>
>>52192697
Even if there wasn't a 10 second delay at the beginning the iphone still would have won by a lot.
Android has faster navigation through system menus?
And it still lost by a fuck ton?
Savage.
>>
>>52192964

Yeah, pretty much, android is going to be faster in everything but loading large games, simply because the iphone can load the data from storage faster. When you have a head to head test where the majority of the time spend is loading larges games with nothing in memory, the iPhone should theoretically win. Of coarse different levels of software optimization across platforms may affect this.
>>
>>52193111
>android is going to be faster in everything except loading large games
Whatever helps you ease the dissonance, buddy.
>>
>>52193264

It is based on the videos posted here.
>>
>>52193373
They were dead even til the android locked up, then it was all down hill from there.
It's funny that you're even trying to bargain with the video that proves my point.
Truly rekt.

>>52186464
In the past two years, Android phones have only been getting faster and apple phones have stayed the same
>>
>>52193533
That's wrong tho.
>>52191394
>>
>>52193403

Where did it "lock up"? The video you posted shows android being faster in every application but a few large games. Like I said, the iPhone's storage has a substantial advantage in sequential read times, but that's about it. The iPhones SoC seems like it was built for geekbench, but still lags behind the latest android phones in most applications.
>>
>>52193586
Keep telling yourself this while you finish a real world performance test a mile behind.
Keep trying to ease your dissonance.
You don't want these grapes anyways, trust me.

>>52192697

fyi they also load up temple run 2 twice on the 6p while its still running in the background the 6s.

Wow man this butt hurt is real, level 99 shit.
>>
>>52193743

That's a valid point, except they're loading 10+ apps in between, and you don't know if its loading higher res images for the 1440p screen.

Another problem is that loading temple run, a single app, is literally 1/3 of the 6P's total time in that test. For all we temple run 2 could just but coded like dog shit for android.
>>
>>52193796

Who wouldn't rather have their phone be faster in 9/10 apps than just 3 times faster at loading one specific game they don't even play?
>>
>>52193800
I'm sure it is coded like shit, they let anything into the google play store lmao
Another reason to go with Apple, even the apps are better made.
>>
>>52193839

LMAO if you think Apple should be the ones to judge how well written any particular app is. Their own shit is so jurry rigged to shit it only runs because they only have to support one hardware platform. (hence why iOS updates for older devices are so broken and poorly optimized)

It does what it needs to and iOS when I used to use an iphone, was slow, clunky, buggy, and even would fucking reset the phone because some apps wouldn't close. With Android phones just buying a shit phone will provide a shit experience.Buying any Iphone will provide a less than optimal experience. :^).

Yes, you're right, because everyone should love letting a corporation be in charge of "approving" every single app they have access to. That could never end up with said corporation taking advantage of you.

It's much much much worse if the temple run was kept in, which would be fair since that's part of the test for every phone.

Pretty much every post in the thread so far just got disproved by that.
Stay mad tho.
