Qualcomm has just released the first performance figures for the Snapdragon 888, the mobile processor that will end up in 2021’s Android flagships<\/a>. They’re good – but maybe not good enough.<\/p>\n In Geekbench 5, the Snapdragon 888 gets 1,135 points for single-threaded tasks and 3,794 points for multi-threaded, reports Anandtech<\/a>. This pales in comparison with the 1,603 and 4,187 points respectively scored by Apple’s A14 chip, which features in this year’s iPhone 12-series handsets, from the 12 mini<\/a> to the 12 Pro Max<\/a>.<\/p>\n In fact, the A13 chip Apple released in 2019 (and featured in the iPhone 11 Pro<\/a>, among others) scored higher than the Snapdragon 888 in single-core, with 1,331 points, although the Qualcomm does at least beat the A13’s 3,366 points in the multi-core test.<\/p>\n We’ve written elsewhere about why the A14 chip is revolutionary<\/a>. But Apple is in a great position right now with regard to all of its chip development: in the desktop\/laptop space the company is sitting on the M1, which offers a plethora of advantages<\/a> over Intel silicon.<\/p>\n If you’re tempted to get the benefits of Apple’s A14 chip for yourself, check our guide to the best iPhone deals<\/a> to find a great price on the 12-series handsets.<\/p>\n
