Rumored Apple A18 Pro benchmark scores beats A17 Pro in raw performance

A18 Pro will have a bigger area for an improved neural engine. A non-pro version is rumored as well, possibly for iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus

The iPhone 16 is expected to join the AI trend on smartphones. To make it happen, Apple is creating a chipset that can tap on-device AI capabilities.

Recently, benchmark scores of the alleged A18 Pro surfaced indicating massive performance gains over its predecessor. The first set revealed a score of 3,570 on single-core and 9,310 on multi-core on Geekbench 6, around 22% and 28% faster than A17 Pro.

On Geekbench 5, the chipset scored 2,571 on single-core and 7,359 on multi-core, about 20% and 38% greater performance over its predecessor.

The third set suggested a closer performance to the A17 Pro at 2,822 on single-core and 8,571 on multi-core on Geekbench, and 2,571 on single-core and 7,359 on multi-core on Geekbench 5.

These aren’t the final test results as brands optimize chipsets to balance efficiency and performance.

A18 Pro for AI Potential

A report suggests that the A18 Pro has a larger die area than its predecessor and that’s for more AI computing power.

The additional area can also accommodate more transistors or specific components, which may hint at a better neural engine. If true, the iPhone 16 Pro can harness the full power of Gemini AI and the likes.

Another thing is that the A18 Pro serves as the six-GPU version, indicating a non-pro CPU. So, that’s for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max while the lesser version is for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.

The A18 Pro is expected to use the TSMC 3nm process.
