Did you miss the fact that I attribute half for other than process technology.

> The A13 was built on 7nm and still beat perf/watt of any x86 CPU

We can directly compare Snapdragon 865 Plus and Apple A13 Bionic because they use the same process (N7P).

865 Plus is equal or better in most benchmarks.

What in the world are you talking about? Anandtech shows the A13 handily besting a phone equipped with an 865+.

Most of those are not CPU tests. But even in the link you provided 865+ has best performance/watt in every test in GPU Performance & Power.

Here is Nanoreview's Snapdragon 865 Plus vs A13 Bionic CPU performance tests: https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/qualcomm-snapdragon-86...

(btw. My argument is not that Apple is worse)

JavaScript perf is a GPU test? I guess I'm learning new things every day.

(The link I shared is all CPU leaning performance tests.)

Nanoreview? Really dude? In the "Pro" section for the 865+ it lists two more cores (factual but largely irrelevant) and in the "Pro" section of the A13 it lists "Compatible with the latest DirectX 12.1" (laughably hilariously untrue).

I love how nano review has become the Android fan bible, despite its very obvious flaws.

Also, the Antutu developers said scores between different OSes are not comparable: https://www.antutu.com/en/doc/119646.htm but some people just love to boast how Android is better based on Antutu...
