Early Benchmark Shows How Much Faster the A18 Pro Chip is Than the A17 Pro

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.
