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 MSM8994 Snapdragon 810 has a larger number of cores, the turbo frequency of Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810 is bigger, that the PDT of Apple A9 is lower. The Apple A9 was designed earlier.

Performances :

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

AnTuTu — Total score
Apple A9	133,600
Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810	100,120

The difference is 33%.

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 — iOS & Android 64-bit
Apple A9	1,938 3,370
Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810	1,250 2,887

In single core, the difference is 55%. In multi-core, the differential gap is 17%.

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.
