Latest A18 Pro multi-core score places it shockingly close to Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, while crushing it in single-core performance in Geekbench

[Redaktion]

Although Apple's A18 Pro SoC resides at the very top of smartphone CPU performance for now, its reign may turn out to be rather short-lived, thanks to the upcoming Dimensity 9400 as well was Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoCs. However, a recent Geekbench listing portrays a shocking boost to A18 Pro's performance following a recent iOS update, which may give Apple the decisive edge.

Ah snap, I thought we would finally see Snapdragon match the single-core scores of Apple Silicone. But it's a nice to see another bump in performance by Apple. Snapdragon better keep up next year and keep the power consumption down.

Geekbench developers are always releasing the next version that boosts the score for Apple CPU's. They don't get paid otherwise.

Geekbench is far better optimised for ios as a result always shows better results on iphones. That's why most ppl have given up on geekbench and benchmarks like 3dmark and gfxbench are far more reliable since they make their benchmarks equally optimised on both ios and android platforms.

So from the "leaks" this week we have the SD 8 Gen 4 at around 3011- 3069 Single core and 9080 - 9706 in multicore. So around 85% single core and 103% multicore compared to the A18 Pro.

The single core score IMO is pretty much imperceptible in day to day use. I have the iPhone 15 Ultra and tested a 16 next to it in the Apple store and it was no quicker for navigation and apple software. Now the SD 8 Gen 4 is faster on paper than the 17 Pro SOC. So I expect most people will have zero issues with this SOC. Both SOCs are fast enough for what 99% of people do with their phones.

I'm happy the A18 is faster "on paper" as it encourages Qualcomm to improve, and I fully expect they will next year.But I want to see that innovation in PCs and laptops or something like Dex on Galaxy phones. These chips are powerful enough to run desktop applications for many use cases.

I love the enthusiasm from Qualcomm fans for their upcoming chip. But let's not forget it has two additional cores over the A18 Pro. Apple still crushes the single core benchmarks and with 2 less cores overall is still managing to break the 9,000 multi-core score in real units already sold to customers. The Qualcomm chip is posting scores from prototypes at this point. I would also like to point out that the A18 Pro will be far more power efficient while effectively providing the same levels of performance.

This is what apple clowns are like 🤣
Apple socs have bigger cores that's why it scores better at applebench. Do a little study kiddo

Lol bigger cores. Cope harder.
