    Typical decent phones can run for 4-5 days on idle, so I don’t think that will be a problem.

      Typical decent phones also have small cores.

        Of course they have, the point is that Idle is not a huge problem, unless it’s important to you that your phone can idle for 5 days. This may probably be slightly less, but so what if it’s 4 days instead of 5?

        The real problem is how much daily use you get out of your phone, and in that regard, this new SOC will beat everything currently in existence.

          How do you arrive at 4 days vs. 5? Do you have power draw numbers in idle state for the different CPUs? I wasn’t able to find much, though the manual for the ARM low-power cores suggests a lot of optimizations that aren’t available on the bigger cores.

          Maybe for you, but not for everyone else.

            Why don’t you go complain about the Tensor chips somewhere?

            They are poor to average performers with tiny cores, the Pixel 7A only has 3 days battery life.

            Did you make any posts at least questioning whether that is better with the new Tensor G3?

              What are you talking about? You made a weird claim to which I responded. Why are you asking me if I question some other chip?

                My claim is not weird, the data we have supports it.

                  Can you show me the data you have on the power draw of this CPU in idle mode compared to CPUs with small cores? I’d love to see it, but so far you’ve linked info about tensor chips?
