Let's just say that both processors are the same. They are on the same level. Snapdragon manages resources better because it is made with different technology. Better in battery management. consumption is lower

Agreed. Performance is virtually identical but the Sanpgragon squeaks out the efficiency win with a MUCH newer process node but ancient cores.
