hey guys what is going on my name is Yuan and today I've got a conglomerate of iPhone models once
again for another episode of chip contest this is a series where we take a look at all the recent
processors that Apple has made and compare them against each other so if you want to see where
your device's along this hierarchy of processors then this is going to get real interesting real
quick because hey what is this 2020 yeah it's April 2020 so crap now it definitely would not be
a chip contest without a strange array of iPhones here on my table of course we're starting with the
original iPhone as II it's got the a9 processor which is the oldest iPhone processor supported on
iOS 13 next to the iPhone 7 with the a10 fusion first with four cores why is this one so beat
up the iPhone 10 with the a 11 Bionic first with six cores beautiful skin by D brand on the back I
phone 10 our fan favorite with the a12 Bionic and the iPhone 11 with the a13 Bionic each of
these are one generation ahead of the previous one in their processing power so some of these chips
appeared in other devices first now of course these chips also represent other devices that
contain the exact same processor so if your device is on this list then these results will speak for
you as well now of course these don't count the iPad pro versions of these chips the X variants
and now the Z variants those are generally gonna have better CPU and GPU performance across the
board as per tradition I went back in time and got help from my past selves I hope this
doesn't break any timelines or anything that's me from 2014 over there and the me from 2017
respectively now I have asked them nicely to not speak during this video but no I've I told them
not to speak rude fine I I yelled that them okay to shut their traps is this what you wanted yes
yeah yeah it's not like they're gonna remember this anyway moving on alright let's go ahead and
head to the speed lab to perform our first test it's gonna be the uma Wi-Fi speed test of course
these tests were performed separately to avoid clogging up the bandwidth the iPhone 11 is the
first device out of these iPhones that supports Wi-Fi 6 but I don't think you'll really see that
much of a difference in real life use especially if your service provider or your router doesn't
support it now for my Wi-Fi network it's normal to hit that 150 to 170 megabits per second range
and we're really kind of seeing that with a few devices dipping a little lower than usual but
honestly there's not enough variance to really make that much of an impact on your daily use
maybe with the exception of the iPhone se since that score is quite a bit lower alright moving on
next up let's go ahead and test the CPU speed in a test inside of Geekbench 5 basically this tool
measures how much RAW processing power each device has the higher the score the better this is really
what you'll see in your day-to-day performance how snappy your phone feels how quickly it opens
apps and of course the iPhone 11 is first with 2 minutes and 13 seconds followed shortly by the
iPhone 10 are and the iPhone 7 seems the iPhone 10 is lagging behind a little bit it finally finishes
with 2 minutes and 41 seconds and here's where we see the a9 start to show its age a little
bit it is 5 years old finally finishing at 3 minutes and one second now it is normal to see
Apple processors double in CPU performance every two years which is exactly what happened between
the a9 and a11 the iPhone 10 is more than twice as powerful than the se but then the next three
processors the Bionic series really did not have that sort of in performance based on that pattern
the iPhone Elevens multi-core score should be around 5,000 rather than what it is now and that
brings us to our next test which is the graphics performance test inside a geek bench the compute
benchmark because historically iPhones really have not had the best GPUs they've used third-party
GPUs up until Apple started designing them with the 811 chip and I'd wager with rumors of high
refresh displays coming to the next iPhone models apples really doubling down on their
graphics performance so of course they haven't 11 finished first with a massive score of 60 to
73 the iPhone 10 hour follows shortly behind with 40 492 the iPhone 10 is next with 33 14 followed
shortly by the iPhone 7 and this is where we start to see that the previous GPUs really did
not differ that much from one generation to the next with the a 10 and a 11 it was a 500 point
difference and finally with the a9 chip coming in with a 600 point difference so as you guys can see
with the Bionic series the graphics performance gains by over a thousand points every generation
instead of about 500 in the previous models let's actually run another graphics test this is the
antutu benchmark this application tests graphics performance on the screen whereas the compute
benchmark really focused on behind the scenes as you guys can see the iPhone 11 is taking the lead
10 hours not very far behind but the 10 the 7 and the SE they're dropping frames everywhere so if
you're talking about pure graphical performance the a 13 and a 12 are miles ahead of the other
chips so taking a look at the results here this is where the doubling every two years rule really
seems to shine the iPhone 10 doubles that of the SE and the iPhone 11 almost doubles the iPhone 10
which is pretty nice now the iPhone 10 R is not very far behind the iPhone 11 so honestly if you
had to save money and get the 10 R you're not really missing out much on graphics performance
when it comes to these processors it really seems like we're just going down the line in order of
processing power sometimes there's an exception or two hey you got a message yeah I know don't don't
don't touch that that's my those are my text messages no no no no no don't it's not typing
stop you don't know these people yet how are they gonna know it's not me I'm gonna I'm gonna finish
recording talking head then we'll talk fine now let's move on to our next test which is testing
how fast apps will open when you tap on them now all the applications are logged into the same
accounts they have the same data so Beach device just unload the exact same app starting with
YouTube and it looks like we're just going right down the line and for some reason the iPhone 10r
seems to not like Justine seems to have rejected her on the homepage there but anyways let's move
on to opening our next application which is Disney Plus going in 3 2 1 it looks like there was a tiny
bit of stutter on the iPhone 10 are but in the end it looks like we just went straight down the
line anyways and let's go ahead and launch Twitter and Wow a little scattered but pretty much within
a second of each other all right next up I wanted to test the speed differences between 3d touch and
haptic touch here the iPhone 10 and the iPhone 7 both have 3d touch while the SE the 10 R and the
11 do not so the goal of this test is to see if the better processing power in the newer devices
makes up for the time you save on a device with 3d touch so let's start with a Notes app the test
begins as soon as my finger hits the screen and ends when the app first becomes usable first test
very interesting 3d touch devices actually coming in last now let's move on to the camera app going
directly to the selfie camera looks like the 3d touch devices have an advantage here so I guess
part of this depends on which application you're trying to open as well anyways let's go ahead and
do one more of this test we're gonna head straight to the update section of the App Store to update
some applications personally it doesn't look like you're losing a whole lot of time sacrificing
3d touch so if I had to give that up for better battery life than I would now this actually leads
into our next test which is how fast these can update and install applications that come through
the app store I have all these same updates loaded up snapchat Twitter B&H and Starbucks first one to
install all of them wins and we are off so let's go ahead and see which one of these installs these
applications quicker looks like the iPhone 11 comes in with a huge advantage over the others
then the 10 are the 7 then the 10 and the SE kind of a strange pattern but not very big differences
between them and let's move on to our last set of tests which is loading webpages so with all
the multitasking on each device cleaner it out of course we got to do the Apple comm and three
two one all three Bionic chips do exceptionally well but the difference between them is pretty
negligible except let's go to imdb.com on each of these devices starting in three two one this is a
much more content heavy site and it looks like we're oh it looks like the pattern is pretty
inverted here with the iPhone 10 coming in last I'm actually kind of disappointed in the iPhone
10 right now that's but not least the office of the internet reddit.com home of the best comment
sections on the Internet and it looks like the iPhone 10 and the iPhone 10 are pull ahead there
is definitely a difference between these devices honestly I think the results are pretty mixed
this time around now based on the results of this video I don't see enough difference between each
chip to want to upgrade to the next one you'd have to jump a few generations and of course
these tests don't really count the unique features that newer processors can provide such as better
image processing which translates into drastically better cameras especially on the a13 processor so
if you're looking to upgrade your devices I would recommend going for a device with the a12 chip or
the eith routine chip I would not recommend the a11 or below the a nine and a ten are getting
pretty old now the a11 still works fine but it's not very efficient but if you already
have a device with the a 12 or a 13 I don't think you'll have to worry about upgrading for at least
another three or four years there's just that good ok editing again here I don't think I've ever
owned an iPhone 7 so I'm not entirely sure where this one came from or why it's so beat up unless
what right nevermind all right so what do you guys think about this comparison make sure you
