The new iPhone A20 Pro chip benchmark results: Yeah, its very, very fast
The new iPhones' A20 Pro chip proves Apple silicon remains undefeated. If we were a Qualcomm chipset, we'd be very afraid.
The newest iPhone A20 Pro chip has recently set the benchmark results ablaze, boasting an extraordinary level of performance. This new mobile chip, built on a 2nm process, is installed in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, as well as in the foldable iPhone Duo. The A20 Pro comes equipped with a 6-core CPU consisting of two super cores and four efficiency cores, a 7-core GPU with Neural Accelerators, and a dual 16-core Neural Engine, which handles AI tasks. Upon testing, it's clear that the iPhone 18 Pro's performance is simply unmatched.
The Geekbench 6 and 7 tests, conducted on a clean and freshly activated iPhone 18 Pro with no third-party apps running, revealed that the A20 Pro delivers a 3,959 single-core score and a 10,854 multi-core score in Geekbench 7's CPU test, and a remarkable 61,194 score in the GPU test. These results are incredibly impressive, showing Apple silicon as the ultimate winner in the performance arena.
Even when we run the older Geekbench 6 test for comparison, the iPhone 18 Pro still dominates with a single-core CPU score of 4,673 and a multi-core score of 12,483. In contrast, other recent flagship phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, Google's Pixel 11 Pro XL, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max scored notably lower in these tests.
The iPhone 18 Pro's performance improvement over its predecessor, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, is substantial but not unexpected, as it is still nearly 25 percent faster across the board.
In real-world usage, the new iPhone certainly feels faster, but the difference might not be as apparent unless compared to older devices. Users transitioning from a much older device would undoubtedly notice the significant improvement. While Apple's iPhones have always been fast and powerful, the A20 Pro chip undoubtedly takes the performance to the next level.
As for the iPhone Duo, we're excited to see its performance scores once it's in our hands next month, as it uses the same A20 Pro chip but with some distinct differences in other areas.
