iPhone 16 series: First hands-on tests confirm CPU performance of the A18 and A18 Pro chipsets
The iPhone 16 series debuted a week ago, with multiple reports revealing the CPU performance of the A18 and A18 Pro courtesy of Geekbench. Those benchmark visits were from unknown sources, but that has finally changed with the new flagships now being tested hands-on.
As tested by Chinese outlet Novice Evaluation, the iPhone 16 and its A18 manage a single-core score of 3295 on Geekbench 6.3. The iPhone 16 Pro and its A18 Pro come out in front with a score of 3399. On the multi-core side, the A18 scores 8085, while the A18 Pro earns a score of 8408.
This, of course, corroborates reports that the A18 and A18 Pro deliver identical performance on the CPU side, with the A18 Pro on the more expensive iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max having a nigh-imperceptible edge. Compared to the devices they succeed, the A18 Pro is a solid 15% more powerful than last year's A17 Pro, while the A18 on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus outperforms the A16 on the iPhone 15 by up to 35%.
