An early Geekbench benchmark result for the A18 Pro chip that powers the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max has reportedly been posted on the Geekbench 6 website.
The result of the benchmark shows that the A18 Pro is up to 18% faster than the A17 Pro chip. Apple had claimed the A18 Pro was as much as 15% faster than last year’s top A-series chip, so the result of the benchmark is slightly better than Apple’s claims.
The Geekbench 6 results for comparison are as follows:
- A18 Pro single-core score (one result): 3,409 single-core score (+18%)
- A17 Pro single-core score (average): 2,896 single-core score
- A18 Pro multi-core score (one result): 8,492 multi-core score (+18%)
- A17 Pro multi-core score (average): 7,192 multi-core score
The A18 Pro’s multi-core score of 8,492 shows the chip’s performance is equivalent to the M1 chip in the 2020 model of the Mac mini, according to the Geekbench 6 website.
As you can see, the A18 Pro does provide a noticeable if not spectacular performance increase over last year’s A17 Pro.
