Apple A17 Pro vs. every other modern Apple processor

Apple is basically competing against itself at this point. Somewhat disappointed of Qualcomm and MediaTek though, they're all mediocre by comparison. I would have expected them to wipe the floor with Apple, but seems like their chips are still holding up against the best chips from Qualcomm.

Why would you expect that ?

I just felt that Qualcomm would have an edge over Apple given Qualcomm's experience developing ARM chips for decades at this point. It was more that I assumed that Qualcomm had some kind of killer chip in reserve in case a competitor sprung up out of nowhere OR would be able to come up with one quick enough. I didn't think it was probable that Apple would still be king for 3+ years now and be so dominant.

Apple started with their arm series in 2010. They are hardly a newcomer.

Apple is ahead on CPU perf. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has a faster GPU than the A17 Pro though.
