One of the users of the Chinese social network Weibo published screenshots from the Geekbench 5 and Geekbench 6 benchmarks, which allegedly show the test results of the new Apple A18 Pro chip designed for the iPhone 16. perceived Published by GizmoChina.
From the screenshots of the leaker’s initial Weibo post, it appears that the rumored A18 Pro scored 3570 and 9310 points in the Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core tests respectively, which are 22 percent and 28 percent higher than the A17 Pro. On the other hand, in Geekbench 5 single-core and multi-core tests, the new Apple processor scored 2571 and 7359 points, respectively, 20 percent and 38 percent more than the A17 Pro.
The insider later deleted this post and published a new post, including screenshots of the A18 Pro’s test results in Geekbench 5 and Geekbench 6. According to them, the new Apple chip will be less powerful than the first suggested screenshots. In Geekbench 5, the chip scored 2517 and 7359 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively, while in Geekbench 6 – 2822 and 8571 points.
According to the informant, the figures he presented refer to tests of the first samples of the A18 Pro and will certainly differ significantly from the figures for the released version of the chip. This is because Apple and other vendors allow chipsets to perform at their maximum potential early on and then tune them to find a balance between performance and power efficiency. Apple A18 Pro is expected to be based on TSMC’s 3nm process technology. Rumor has it that it will consist of two powerful processor cores and six low-power processor cores.
