I am not sure that is true. Smartphone core performance improvements have been impressive. For example: just compare the geekbench mulitcore scores of the iPhone 6+ released from late '14 to iPhone 8+ today: ~2400 to ~10200 relative to battery scores of 1510 @ 2915mAh to 2764 @ 2675mAh. You are getting 4x core performance and 1.8x battery performance with ~10% less battery capacity in just 3 years. It is more than ju…
Multicore* That is like saying you can have 4x more performance with the 16 Core Ryzen then your 4 Core Intel Chip. The problem is multi core performance aren't as important as Single Core. And these improvment has lots to do with node size. When it is good enough, more performance dont sell.
Well, compare single core values then: iPhone 6 at 1360, iPhone 8 at 4217.
