A20 Pro vs Intel Ultra 7 Series 3
it could be an apples-to-oranges comparison. not sure if that intel core can be inside apple phones.
not really apples to apples (no pun intended) comparison. Apple has designed their silicon chips with the intention of running their operating systems and the OS is certainly optimized for the architecture. Whereas x86 is somewhat generic and the OS performance varies, Windows and Linux not necessarily returning the same results. Linux can be highly optimized, but not Windows.
The phone has been out for 10 days and this article is from 6 days before it was released.
Why are we looking at an "early benchmark" from before release instead of an actual real benchmark of the device. I don't get why Geekbench doesn't have results for iPhone 18, or why this "early benchmark" calls it "iPhone19,2."
If true, the single core performance of this chip is almost identical to the single-core performance of the new M6 chip.
Something doesn't seem right, but I don't know a lot about Geekbench or iOS benchmarks to know if this seems legit or not.
Edit: apparently they haven't shipped yet?

A20 Pro vs Intel Ultra 7 Series 3
Do Linux distros run on Apple hardware? The hardware seems faster than intel/amd but I hate MacOS.
I don’t think there’s a distro for running Linux on any recent iPhone, which is what this chip is for.
Asahi Linux is the leading distribution for Macs, but it’s a few generations behind with hardware support. M3 support is in the works but still experimental and not fully featured yet.
I'm sure many will disagree but I don't see a point to this; it's neat I guess but why?
