Apple A16 Bionic vs Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Apple has recently debuted their world’s known iPhone numeric series. the company has launched the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro and the 14 Pro Max worldwide. Eventually, with the introduction of the iPhone 14 Pro series, the company unveiled their next mobile chip- Apple A16 Bionic. it is the current most powerful chip ever present on a smartphone.

Today, we are comparing this chip to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip which is Qualcomm’s most powerful chip as of now. here is all the key differences and benchmark available downside.
