iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Benchmarks Reveal Speed of A20 Pro Chip
Key Points:
- Early Geekbench 7 benchmark results for the A20 Pro chip in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max show a 21-23% increase in single-core and 27-28% increase in multi-core CPU performance compared to the A19 Pro in the iPhone 17 Pro.
- The iPhone 18 Pro models feature a six-core CPU running at approximately 4.93 GHz, with single-core scores around 4,719-4,725 and multi-core scores around 12,575-12,677.
- Graphics performance has improved significantly, with the A20 Pro's 7-core GPU delivering 38-40% faster Metal performance than the A19 Pro's 6-core GPU, aligning with Apple's claims of up to 40% faster GPU speeds.
- The A20 Pro chip is built on a 2-nanometer process, includes integrated Neural Accelerators, 50% more memory bandwidth, and a redesigned vapor chamber for up to 40% better sustained performance.
- These early benchmark results are unconfirmed and may not fully represent real-world performance during extended or demanding tasks such as prolonged gaming.
