The graphics seems to be well behind the CPU, at least compared to the competition. Both those GFXBench scores and 3DMark scores aren't far off from this year's Snapdragon or Exynos. In some cases they're even behind.
I'm curious to see if Apple can push that further in future chips now that the entire graphics portion is in-house.
Yes, the iPhone's GPU is definitely behind the Android competition as far as the benchmarks tell. I'm not sure how much this means in the real world. It definitely helps Android devices in terms of bragging rights. I don't know why the iPhone's GPU is weaker than Qualcomm's Snapdragon GPU. I'm sure Apple will be able to fix that eventually but if it's not going to help iPhone sales, then it probably isn't even worth the effort to have a slightly better GPU which most consumers won't even notice.
So, basically the same GPU performance as the 7's taking into account the die shrink from 16-10nm. Rather than being world beating or ground breaking this 'entirely Apple designed GPU' looks VERY similar indeed to the PowerVR GPU in the 7's.
Maybe they should have licensed Furian 😂
