An early benchmark score for the A18 Pro chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max has been spotted on the Geekbench 6 website.

Joe Rossignol for MacRumors:

‎

The single result shows that the A18 Pro is up to 18% faster than the A17 Pro chip. During its iPhone 16 event, Apple said the A18 Pro is up to 15% faster than the A17 Pro, so the result is within the ballpark of that claim.

Here are the Geekbench 6 results for comparison:

* A18 Pro single-core score (one result): 3,409 single-core score (+18%)

* A17 Pro single-core score (average): 2,896 single-core score

* A18 Pro multi-core score (one result): 8,492 multi-core score (+18%)

* A17 Pro multi-core score (average): 7,192 multi-core score

MacDailyNews Take: 15%-18% is a HUGE leap in processor performance!

As Joe notes, the A18 Pro's performance is multi-core score of 8,492 is equivalent to the M1 chip in the 2020 model of the Mac mini, but it's in a smartphone in your pocket!
