Early benchmarks show Apple’s new A18 Pro chip destroys A17 Pro

An early benchmark score for the A18 Pro chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max has been spotted on the Geekbench 6 website.

Joe Rossignol for MacRumors:
‎

The single result shows that the A18 Pro is up to 18% faster than the A17 Pro chip. During its iPhone 16 event, Apple said the A18 Pro is up to 15% faster than the A17 Pro, so the result is within the ballpark of that claim.

Here are the Geekbench 6 results for comparison:

• 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

MacDailyNews Take: 15%-18% is a HUGE leap in processor performance!

As Joe notes, the A18 Pro’s performance is multi-core score of 8,492 is equivalent to the M1 chip in the 2020 model of the Mac mini, but it’s in a smartphone in your pocket!
