As we all know, the iPhone 15 Pro is first equipped with Apple's A17Pro Bionic chip, which is based on a new generation of 3nm process technology, bringing the highest performance of Apple's mobile phone to date, attracting the attention of many consumers. However, to the surprise of many fruit fans, the actual evaluation data of Apple A17Pro shows that although the comprehensive performance of this chip is powerful, the CPU multi-core performance and GPU performance have been surpassed by Qualcomm and MediaTek, breaking the previous convention that the performance of Apple chips is far ahead, so some fruit fans are looking forward to the next generation of iPhone to reverse the phenomenon. Now the latest revelations have brought the performance score of the iPhone 16Pro, and the single-core performance of the A18Pro chip on it exceeds expectations, but the multi-core performance loses to the Snapdragon 8Gen4, which has caused heated discussions on the Internet.
According to the latest data from overseas blogger @nguyen Phi Hung, Apple's A18Pro chip test data is **, and its single-core score is about 3500 points and multi-core score is about 8200 points in the Geekbench 6 running score database. At present, there is still more than half a year before the release of the iPhone 16 series, and these running scores can be used as initial reference data.
As a comparison, the average score of the iPhone 15Pro currently included in Geekbench 6 is 2906 points for single-core, 7231 points for multi-core, this mobile phone is equipped with A17Pro chip, so it is estimated that combined with the best running score, AppleA18Pro chip will be equipped on the iPhone 16Pro series, with a single-core increase of about 20% year-on-year, and a year-on-year increase of about 13% for multi-core, and the overall improvement is not small.
It is worth noting that recently, some netizens have ** Snapdragon 8gen4 and Dimensity 9400 engineering machine test scores, of which Snapdragon 8gen4 single-core score 2845 points, multi-core score 10628 points, Dimensity 9400 single-core score 2776, multi-core score 11739, the single-core performance of the two chips is very close to Apple A17Pro, and the multi-core performance has obviously surpassed Apple A18Pro, and even close to Apple computer chip M3 performance, The performance upgrade is not small.
This means that although the iPhone 16Pro has achieved a significant increase in performance by virtue of the A18Pro chip, the multi-core performance is still significantly lost to the Snapdragon 8Gen4 and Dimensity 9400, and from this trend, Apple's A-series chips have been overtaken by competitors in many aspects.
It is reported that the Snapdragon 8Gen4 will be based on TSMC's 3nm process technology, and the CPU adopts a new "2+6" eight-core architecture design, which greatly improves the multi-core capacity, further strengthens the performance support for running high-load applications and optimizes power consumption. The Apple A18Pro chip is very likely to still use a six-core design, so it is inferior to the Snapdragon 8Gen4 chip in multi-core performance.
It is reported that both iPhone 16Pro and iPhone 16ProMax will be equipped with A18Pro chips, with greatly enhanced AI functions and 8GB of RAM; Using a new material Samsung OLED straight screen, it supports 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and the size is increased to 63 and 69 inches, the middle frame adds a quick shooting button, the rear 48 million pixel triple camera combination, built-in large-capacity battery, equipped with Qualcomm X75 baseband.
On the whole, with the continuous development of Android flagship mobile phone chips, Apple mobile phones can no longer open a significant gap in many aspects as before, and even driven by more radical solutions, Snapdragon 8Gen3 surpasses the Apple A17Pro chip in the same period in CPU multi-core performance and GPU performance, and now Snapdragon 8Gen4 will also surpass Apple A18Pro chip in the same aspect, which is good news for Android users, but it is bad news for fruit fans. At present, there is still more than half a year before the release of the iPhone 16 series, so the final score information of this mobile phone will be updated in the future, and you can expect a wave.
