Apple Silicon M1 Die-Shots

CPU speeds have been similar to competitors until around the A10 era a few years ago. The real differentiator has always been software + hardware integration happening inside the same company. The hardware team gets the insight of the software team on what areas of performance should be looked at, and the software team can optimize for the exact specifications of a future CPU line.

i thought Apple crushed other chipset in single core and managed to stay ahead in overall.

You’re saying The iPhone is mostly popular because the A13/14 are faster than the competition.

The grandfather points out that iPhones up to the A10 had comparable performance as the competition, and still were popular, so having faster CPUs can’t be the major reason for that popularity.
