An early Geekbench result presented a particularly bleak image of the new Apple A16 chipset's performance; but, now that the AnTuTu team has uncovered data from the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, things are looking good.
The Pro scored 978,147, while the Pro Max scored 972,936. This is a about 19% improvement over the 13-series vehicles. Also, because the upcoming iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have the same processor as the iPhone 13 Pro pair, this is a 14-series comparison. The vanilla iPhone 14 phones, like the Pros last year, were upgraded to 6GB of RAM (and this year too).
According to the breakdowns, CPU performancewent up by a respectable 17%, while the memory score is up by 10%. It’s really the GPU that impresses with a 28% jump over the previous generation. We’re surprised that Apple didn’t mention it during the presentation, this could be the highest generational improvement in recent years.
In instance, early AnTuTu findings for the iPhone 13 Pros last year revealed a 17% boost in CPU score and a 19% rise in GPU score over the 12 Pro generation. Last year, the memory score stunned with a 44% increase.
It's worth noting that the iPhone 14 Pro pair tested had 1TB of storage, giving it a little advantage over devices with lesser capacities. Nonetheless, the A16 chipset outperforms the processor from the previous year.
Having said that, the top Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 results are in the million-dollar area, with the Asus ROG Phone 6 achieving 1,110,172 overall, 261,708 on the CPU test, and 469,592 on the GPU test. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (which will very certainly be manufactured)on the same node as the 8+ Gen 1 and the Apple A16) will be out by the end of the year.
