A chart of Geekbench 5 multi-core scores across a range of price-points. TL;DR: The Performance Inequality Gap continues to grow, with iOS devices more than 2 years ahead of even the fastest Androids, and more than 5x faster than mid-range Android devices (which constitute most sales).

   Updating the Performance Inequality Gap series [1] (post soon), but here's a teaser: new CPU charts, by price band. Single-core perf matters for web apps, and I won't sugarcoat; it's grim.

   The fastest Androids are half as fast as contemporary iPhones (now 4+ years behind) and volume devices (~$300USD) are 1/5th as fast as iPhones.

   Building for iPhones erects walls around wealth and precludes effective access to participation in society for those without means.
