FlipSight Othello Search Engine Benchmarks Across Platforms

FlipSight Othello Search Engine Benchmarks Across Platforms

FlipSight supports iOS, Android, and the web.
This time, I ran benchmark tests on each platform. (You can find the benchmark feature under Analysis => More.)

* Previously, the benchmark used only FFO endgame positions. Since some Othello apps use Edax’s benchmark feature, I’ve added an “Edax” option that uses the same 16 test positions as that benchmark.

For search performance, please refer to NPS (nodes per second).

1. iPhone 16 Pro (iOS)

For reference, I’m also sharing benchmark results from Kifubox, which uses the same Edax benchmark.

2. Galaxy S24 (Android)

- App

* On Android, versions before 1.4.46 did not fully take advantage of the native engine’s performance. The optimizations in version 1.4.46 have made it about 1.5 times as fast, so please make sure you update to the latest version.

The iPhone 16 Pro and Galaxy S24 are reportedly around 20–30% apart in terms of the phones’ own performance, so the current results seem about right.

3. MacBook Pro 14 (M4)

- App (iPad version)

Kifubox(IPad version) benchmark

- Web

The results clearly show that, on the same device, the native app engine makes better use of threads and runs two to three times as fast as the web engine, or even faster.

I hope you’ll give the app a try! 🙂
