A20 Pro Benchmarks Show 28% Faster CPU, 40% Faster GPU in iPhone 18 Pro

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Sep 10

Summary

  • Geekbench entries for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max show the A20 Pro scoring about 4,719 single-core and 12,677 multi-core, pointing to 21%-23% faster single-core and 27%-28% faster multi-core CPU performance than the A19 Pro.
  • Metal results in Geekbench 6 put the new 7-core GPU roughly 38%-40% ahead of the A19 Pro’s 6-core graphics, closely matching Apple’s advertised gains.
  • Both listings identify a 6-core CPU running near 4.93 GHz, while Apple says the 2-nanometer chip also brings 50% more memory bandwidth and up to 40% better sustained performance through new packaging and a redesigned vapor chamber.
  • These are early, unverified one-off benchmarks, so they offer only a first indication of speed before customer devices arrive and do not necessarily predict prolonged real-world gaming or heavy-workload performance.

Insights

Beyond the massive benchmark leaks, will the iPhone 18 Pro's new 2nm chip deliver noticeable everyday speed or just synthetic hype?
With a radical thermal redesign and 4.93 GHz speeds, will Apple's A20 Pro finally conquer smartphone gaming's biggest throttling issues?
