First place: Apple
Take Apple's iPhone 13 series can achieve such excellent performance, for example, thanks to its A15 processor. The A15 processor is faster than other Android phones, although A14 and A15 use the seemingly same TSMC 5nm process, but the A15 uses TSMC's latest N5P process, the performance is much higher than the previous N5 process, and the power consumption has dropped a lot. Maybe you wonder, why are Apple's A-series processors so strong? That's because Apple has set up its own processor design and development team, its processor is designed by Apple's subsidiary Intrinsity, Samsung foundry, using a unique self-developed architecture design, performance between Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A5, based on the 32nm HKMG process, with dynamic adjustment of CPU voltage / frequency characteristics, GPU integrated with a three-core Power VR SGX 543MP3 graphics processing unit, Excellent performance. The birth of Apple's processor has made Apple's iPhone stand out, and the iPhone 5 with A6 processor has stepped on many Android kings with quad-core processors on the score list, and Apple has also proved to the world that the performance of a processor can not only look at its number of cores.
