Apple A10 Fusion vs Apple A11 Bionic

Which to select

It is time to pick the winner. What is the difference between Apple A10 Fusion vs Apple A11 Bionic? What CPU is more powerful? It is quite easy to determine – look at comparison table. The processor with more cores/ threads and also with higher frequency is the absolute winner!

CPU Cores and Base Frequency

Who will win between Apple A10 Fusion vs Apple A11 Bionic. The general performance of a CPU can easily be determined based on the number of its cores and the thread count, as well as the base frequency and Turbo frequency. The more GHz and cores a CPU has, the better. Please note that high technical specs require using a powerful cooling system.
