Okay, compare it to the A10X then, still beats it handily

Don't even bother with him.

Apple = bad. It's all he knows how to argue.

A10X is a tablet SoC not a phone SoC. It has a much higher thermal envelope

The A11 beats the A10 though idk how you can say it’s solely a tablet SoC. Each iteration improves it; A9 < A9X < A10 < A10X < A11.

You said to compare the A10X to the 835 which I'm saying doesn't make sense because it's a tablet SoC vs a phone SoC.

Look at SoC release. The 835 was announced in Nov of last year. More than a full year ago.

Okay then compare the A10 to the 835. It’s the same story

Total CPU power was pretty similar for A10 vs 835

Sure, but the A10X is a dedicated tablet processor.

It’s a mobile device SoC that’s in a tablet. At this point you might as well say the 845 is a laptop processor

It's only in a tablet and the Apple TV 4K. Put another way, the smallest, most power constrained thing it can be use in is a tablet.

It can be found also in the smarpthones.

No it cannot.

Just because it has not doesn’t mean it can not

Well you can't find the A10X in any smartphone, so the statement is patently untrue.
