Yeah, hope efficency is up there too, cause we've had it with the industry-backward battery capacity.

If it's Exynos 2600 then it could be a lot better than prior gens, but if it's Qualcomm, no it will throttle and use way more power than Apple's A19 Pro at same performance. Qualcomm can only offer stupidly higher and higher clocks to combat Apple, power be buggered.

@Terror Byte, @Papsy

Apple will almost certainly have the edge in efficiency.
