alt Hacker NewsFor those wondering: Geekbench CPU single/multi and GPU Metal scores.
- M1: 2,347 / 8,342 / 32,377
- M2: 2,587 / 9,669 / 44,712
- A18Pro: 3,539 / 8,772 / 32,288
So Neo is really comparable with the M1, although it has quite faster in single core speed.

A series chips also use a slightly different instruction set with memory tagging and pointer authentication. IIUC it's Armv9, which the M series chips don't support.

Single thread performance is 50% faster, which is more important for most ordinary tasks.
A18 Pro is generations ahead of M1 and M2 on single thread if these scores are true. Are you saying we had this incredibly overpowered silicon shipped on millions of Instagram machines?
I'm physically hurting at the amount of processing power we wasted. Atleast Apple did the right thing here.
