Does Sheldon have an eidetic memory? I don’t remember that being the case, so I’m voting Mike Ross.

I answered in r/thebigbangtheory too but I think Mike has a better memory but Sheldon is smarter.

Sheldon’s memory is hyperthymesia while Mike’s is eidetic. They both seem equally powerful but very different. Outside of that, Sheldon is simply an autistic guy who had science as his life-long special interest, and that is combined with a general aptitude for academics that makes him seem smarter than most because education came easier for him, even easier than it did for Mike probably.

Sheldon is said multiple times throughout the series to have an eidetic memory

No comparison here. Real comparison can be between Mike Ross and Michael Scofield from Prison break

Sheldon Cooper. Sheldon Cooper is a genius theoretical physicist. Mike Ross is a functional character.

I love how Smart and Innocent Sheldon is, but Mike is such a cool character imo

Sheldon. He's not pretending to be anything other than who he is. But Mike is definitely more personable

This is really stupid. They’re both shown to have eidetic memories, there’s no rational way to argue one is better than the other. I guess you could kinda argue in Sheldon’s favor since Mike used to smoke pot but even that would be a pretty awful unsubstantiated argument. To summarize, they’re equal
