Technical Review ( Apple A13 Bionic VS Snapdragon 855 plus comparison )

Recently, Apple has announced the iPhone 11 lineup with the new improved processor chip. Apple A13 Bionic is the world’s fastest chip right now If you ask us. Also, Snapdragon is the best processor chip provider with its own algorithms and compatibility with Android smartphones. So, we thought of making a comparison with the Apple A13 Bionic Vs Snapdragon 855 Plus. The A13 Bionic is more likely equipped with the AI engine and advanced neural engine inside it. iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max has this chip inside them. On the other hand, the Snapdragon 855 Plus is there in the ASUS’s ROG Phone 2

Apple A13 bionic features :-

• A13 Bionic has 8.5 billion transistors.
• It used an advanced, second-generation 7nm process for more efficiency.
• A13 Bionic features 4-efficiency CPU cores which means a great battery life.
• It also has approx hundreds of voltage domains so that it can be having selective parts for the great efficiency.
• It is the most efficient chip today as of it is better than A12.
• A13 Bionic has 20% faster performance in terms of CPU and GPU than the A12 Chip.
• It is a machine learning chip with the capability f 1 trillion operations per second.

      Snapdragon 855 plus features:-

 

• Inside the Snapdragon 855 Plus, the Qualcomm Kryo 485, CPU Prime now runs at up to 2.96GHz.
• Qualcomm Adreno 640 GPU offers a 15% increase over the Snapdragon 855.
• Snapdragon 855 Plus will raise the bar for elite gamers with the increase in CPU and GPU performance and elevate experiences for 5G, gaming, AI and XR.
• Snapdragon 855 Plus features the Snapdragon X24 LTE 4G modem.

Hardware And Performance: A13 Bionic VS 855 Plus

Apple A13 Bionic is manufactured on hexa-core CPU. It has two powerful Lightning cores pointing at 2.66GHzincluding the four efficiency cores called Thunder. In comparison, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus has a tri-cluster CPU but with a different kind of architecture in production. It has a custom Kryo 485 (Cortex-A76) cores with one powerful cluster clocked at 2.96 GHz, other three (A76) arrive with 2.42 GHz clock speed, and 4x power efficient Kryo 485 (A55) cores remain at 1.78 GHz.

Also in architecture manufacturing, Apple A13 uses the second generation TSMS 7nm+ node where Snapdragon 855+ plus is manufactured on the first generation TSMS 7nm process. Now, if you look at the GPU, the Apple A13 sticks to the own-designed quad-core GPU as we have seen on A12.

Yes on the specs sheet the snapdragon 855 plus should perform better than the A13 Bionic chip. But in the real world, it is not nearby A13 bionic chip which is pretty obvious, Apple’s optimizations. That’s why Apple A13 Bionic is the winner among the Snapdragon 855 Plus and others.
