Summary
4,006 Geekbench 7 single-core points put Apple’s A20 Pro at a new record, with the iPhone chip scoring 23.3% above the A19 Pro and 27.1% higher in multi-core at 11,460.
TSMC’s 2nm N2 process, two desktop-class cores clocked up to 4.93 GHz, and 50% more memory bandwidth drove the jump, according to the report’s breakdown of the new six-core design.
32% is the A20 Pro’s single-thread lead over Intel’s Core i9-14900KS, while it also tops AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D by 26%; both desktop chips still remain far ahead in multi-thread workloads.
31.5% to 33.7% is its single-thread advantage over Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5 and Xiaomi’s XRing O3, and it still beats Snapdragon by 12.2% in multi-thread tests.
7% faster than Apple’s M5 in single-thread, the result suggests Apple’s phone silicon is now crossing into laptop-class territory even as higher-core PC and Mac chips keep the edge on sustained parallel performance.
