Quote from: Andrew Shiu on September 23, 2024, 08:19:55Why is a 2024 SoC (SD 8 Gen 3)being compared to a 2025 SoC (A18 pro)? The right comparison should be between SD8 Gen 4 and A18 pro
It's about comparing the best each side has to offer at any given time. The 8 gen 4 is months away, it'll be early next year when we'll start to see flagships with it. When that arrives, there's gonna be a new comparison.
Snapdragon unveils processors first, then actual phones start coming out with it months later.
Apple unveils new chips at the moment they unveil their new phone so the A18/A18Pro have been complete probably since Q1/Q2 2024.
It's not ideal but it's a fair comparison.
