We can better compare what are the technical differences between the two processors.

Price: For technical reasons, we cannot currently display a price less than 24 hours, or a real-time price. This is why we prefer for the moment not to show a price. You should refer to the respective online stores for the latest price, as well as availability.

The processor Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660 has a larger number of cores, the turbo frequency of Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660 is bigger, that the PDT of Apple A8X is lower. The Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660 was started more recently.

Performances :

Performance comparison between the two processors, for this we consider the results generated on benchmark software such as Geekbench 4.

AnTuTu — Total score
Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660	147,255
Apple A8X	109,900

The difference is 34%.

AnTuTu is one of the most popular apps in the world to evaluate and compare the power of a mobile device with the competition. It tests above all the power of calculation, the display of Web pages, the modeling of decorations in 3D, the management of the memory, the transfer of data.

Geekbench 4 — Multi-core & single core score — Android & iOS 64-bit
Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660	1,550 5,594
Apple A8X	1,798 4,356

In single core, the difference is 16%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 28%.

Geekbench 4 is a complete benchmark platform with several types of tests, including data compression, images, AES encryption, SQL encoding, HTML, PDF file rendering, matrix computation, Fast Fourier Transform, 3D object simulation, photo editing, memory testing. This allows us to better visualize the respective power of these devices. For each result, we took an average of 250 values on the famous benchmark software.
