Let's talk about benchmarks for a second because I'm seeing a lot of misinformation going around. Benchmarks are not the be-all and end-all, and focusing on them is laughable. (1/5) https://twitter.com/TheGalox_/status/1334858131428564992
I can't believe I'm saying this, but @MaxWinebach had the best take on this that I've seen yet. Geekbench does loads of tests like AES, gaussian blur, ray-tracing, ML, speech recognition... a lot of these run on **dedicated chips** on the SoC. (2/5)
Same for image processing, which again, will be done on an ISP. All these things run on dedicated chips, not on the CPU, and if the CPU is not optimised for these operations because it doesn't need to be then... yeah? It'll score lower? (3/5)
Do I want this to be a big year for Exynos? Of course I do - competition is *always* good. Do I think that taking benchmarks out of context and using them to make baseless claims about upcoming products is a good idea? Absolutely not. (4/5)
That's not to say Exynos can't outperform Snapdragon this year, but saying it "doesn't get close" without any evidence sans a few Geekbench scores is wrong. At least wait for devices to reach consumers and reviewers first before drawing conclusions about an unreleased SoC. (5/5)
