given Android's execution model (closer to a desktop OS, with many things running in userspace, constant context switching) compared to iOS's "one thing running at a time" model (closer to a game console OS), my guess is that Android benchmarks are less reliable.
Not that it discounts the massive advantage to apple on perf.
However, Edge doesn't appear to have an advantage - the graph shows chrome on a Thinkpad T430 beating Edge on the same hardware.
Also, it shows the Nexus 5X (Qualcomm 808 processor) beating the Pixel XL (Qualcomm 821 processor).
Is this accurate? Seems fishy, but I haven't run any benchmarks.
