A projected 15% CPU performance bump, 40% increase in efficiency, and a 50% better GPU, according to Apple's own figures. The geekbench scores (they don't matter but still) are in line with the CPU improvements.
Also, the GPU was bad in the A11, as it could not sustain the performance.
Not a huge improvement in my honest opinion. The thermals are a constraint there as well. The 855 should outdo Apple this time! The 7nm should have brought great efficiency improvements, but looks like it was not much after all, as the battery lives are hardly changed, just 30mins more on the xs than x. Or maybe Apple decided to cut costs by packing an even smaller battery.
