In the recent event, the Cupertinos announced that the A18 Pro will have a 15% improvement in the CPU and a 20% improvement in the GPU compared to the A17 Pro; Therefore, the Geekbench benchmark results confirm Apple’s prediction.
The A16 Bionic chip, which forms the beating heart of the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the base models of the iPhone 15, was able to achieve 2612 and 6718 points in Geekbench 6. With a thumb calculation, we find that the CPU of the A18 Pro chip has improved by about 30% and 26% in single-core and multi-core performance, respectively.
The chip of the previous generations of iPhone used LDDR5x-6400 RAM, but Apple announced this year that it has increased the memory bandwidth in the new chip by 17%; So it is said that we will probably see the use of LDDR5x-7467 RAM in the iPhone 16 series.
