Apple A12 Bionic Vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 888

General overview and comparison

Hey people, welcome to my new blog.

INTRODUCTION

Today am going to explain you guys about two powerful chipsets ever that is APPLE A12 BIONIC chip and the lastest QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON 888 chipset. A12 chip was introduced by Apple very long ago on 12 September 2018, till this date it is said to be one of the most powerful Apple chips ever, even if Apple as introduced their latest A14 chip, A12 chip is reffered as one of the best chips ever.

QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON 888 is the latest and most powerful Android chipset current. We get to see this powering the latest FLAGSHIP of android. a12 vs snapdragon 888 comparison will be the most tough comparison according to me because, both chips are very powerful and efficient in performance and optimization.

ABOUT QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON 888 CHIP

This is the latest and most powerful chipset ever launched by QUALCOMM. According to some experts this chipset is one of the best chipset ever because, this chipset’s performance is great and this is well optimised.

If you recall, after SNAPDRAGON 865 QUALCOMM has directly introduced SNAPDRAGON 888, the next move of QUALCOMM should have been SNAPDRAGON 875. They have named it SNAPDRAGON 888 because to showcase that they have improved this chipset quite a bit. The big highlight is that it’s still eight core processor.

ABOUT APPLE A12 BIONIC CHIP

As you all know Apple is a famous brand which produces only Flagship devices of best quality and with best ultimate beastly specifications. a12 bionic chip is the successor of a11 bionic chipset which was launched by APPLE prior to a12 chip, which was also regarded as one of the best chips ever introduced into the i phone. This a12 chipset gives a beast performance in gaming, as well as in normal usage. a12 chipset was introduced by APPLE on 12 September 2018.

Now let’s compare A12 vs snapdragon 888

LAUNCH DATE

Apple A12 Bionic was introduced on  12 September 2018

Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 was 1 December 2020

CPU – A12 Vs snapdragon 888

If we talk about CPU which are supported by A12 and their clockspeed.

We get 2 cores, Apple’s custom design. 2 CORTEX CORES which is clocked at 2.5 GHz and 4 TEMPEST CORES which is clocked at 1.6 GHz. Usually Apple’s processors use all of their potential and ultimate strength to give a boost in their phones performance and they are well optimised.

If we talk about CPU which are supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and their clockspeed.

  • We get 1 VORTEX X1 (KRYO 680) core which is clocked @ 2.84 GHz.
  • We get 3 VORTEX A78 (KRYO 680) core which is clocked @ 2.4 GHz
  • We get 4 VORTEX A55 (KRYO 680) core which is clocked @ 1.8GHz
  • 64 BIT HEXACORE

My frank Openion is that even if the a12 chip is a bit older than Snapdragon 888, a12 is well optimised which saves the battery in phones and also gives a good smooth performance.

CPU FABRICATION PROCESS – A12 Vs Snapdragon 888

CPU FABRICATION PROCESS is referred as the size of the semiconductors used while building the processors.

We get to see 7 nm process in both chips which is a great thing i would say. Lately many improvements have been done in this processing of chipsets. Qualcomm and Appe both have introduced 5nm chip process and its a nice thing i would say.

GPU – Comparison A12 Vs Snapdragon 888

  • Apple a12 chipset supported GPU is QUAD CORE @ 1100MHz.
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset supported GPU is latest QUALCOMM ADRENO 660.

If we compare both, i think , Snapdragon 888 wins because, its the latest chipset and gaming experience with the phones which has Snapdragon 888 was awesome compared to iPhone’s which has this a12 chipset.

RAM SUPPORT – comparison A12 Vs Snapdragon 888

  • The RAM which is supported by Apple a12 chipset is DUAL CHANNEL LPDDR4X with maximum 4GB RAM
  • The RAM which is supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset are
  1. QUAD CHANNEL LPDDR5
  2. UPTO 3200 MHz LPDDR4X
  3. UPTO 2133 MHz  with maximum 16GB of RAM

STORAGE SUPPORT – comparison A12 Vs Snapdragon 888

  • a12 supports NVMe storage.
  • Snapdragon 888 supports 
  1. EMMC 5.1
  2. UFS 2.1
  3. UFS 3.1

CAMERA COMPARISON BETWEEN THE PHONES WHICH HAS A12 and Snapdragon 888

The camera set-ups which is supported by a12 chipset are

  1. Single Camera of 12MP
  2. Dual Camera of 12+12MP 

The camera set-ups which is supported by Snapdragon 888 chipset are

  1. Triple Camera of 28MP
  2. Dual Camera of 64Mp
  3. Single Camera of 84MP

We get support of MFNRZSL Upto 200MP. With this comparison i would say the phone’s with Snapdragon 888 are better but, iPhone cameras are one of the best cameras ever on this earth.
