We have created a comprehensive comparison of the recently released
A16 Bionic chip vs Kirin 970 SoCs by
Apple and Hisilicon
respectively. We've now weighed the advantages and disadvantages of these
6-core
and 8-core CPUs on the basis of their Geekbench, Antutu and
3DMark benchmarks with their technical specifications.
