New benchmarks show iPhone 16 Pro’s A18 Pro chip beats Apple’s M1

A new Geekbench result from an iPhone17,1 – in other words, an A18 Pro-powered iPhone 16 Pro – shows the chip beating Apple’s M1.

In this benchmark, we see… a single-core score of 3429, and a multi-core score of 8790. That’s around 15-20% faster than iPhone 15 Pro’s A17 Pro chip, and 30-35% faster than the iPhone 15’s A16 Bionic chip. These results align with Apple’s keynote claims…

We looked at 10 latest Geekbench results for M1 iPad Air, and excluding anomalies, we’ve found that the M1 chip on average gets a multi-core score of 8351. This one result from A18 Pro is 5% faster than M1, at 8790.

Obviously, thats just one result compared to an average of ten, but it does truly highlight the marvels of Apple’s chip design team. We’re at a point where we can have M1 levels of performance in our pocket, just four years after that chip debuted.
