This year’s iPhone 16 Pro models could outperform an M1 chip, a new Geekbench result suggests.
He Geekbench Scoreuploaded earlier this week, it’s tied to the iPhone 17.1, which is the designation for this year’s ‘Pro’ models with the A18 Pro chip.
Offering a single-core score of 3429 and a multi-core score of 8790, that marks an increase over last year’s Pro phones in line with Apple’s headline numbers from the Glowtime event.
However, aside from comparing it to last year’s iPhone, the A18 Pro apparently compares favorably to the M1 that made its debut on Mac systems with the arrival of Apple Silicon.
Could your iPhone outperform your laptop?
While the caveat that this is a benchmark and not a real-world test naturally applies, it’s interesting that the A18 Pro, which is in a device you can carry in your pocket, is now starting to compete with Apple’s laptop and desktop chips (even if they are from a few years ago).
Benchmarking the M1 around 8,300 for multi-core performance, the A18 Pro is apparently a bit more impressive, and while the comparison may seem like apples to oranges to some, it shows how far Apple has come in just a few years, let alone the rest of the industry keeping up or following closely behind.
In case you missed it, Apple’s Johny Srouji confirmed that Apple’s latest iPhone models also have 8GB of RAM, the same as the base M1 chip.
