I believe that many friends still think that the performance of the iPhone should crush the Android of the same generation, right?
If you want to say that it is A16 and A17 Pro, then I still agree with you.
However, starting from the iPhone 14 series and 15 series, the performance of Apple's A-series chips has gradually been equaled by Android.
Take the latest A17 Pro as an example, even if the more advanced 3nm process has been used.
But the actual GPU performance, CPU multi-core performance and the two major platforms of the Android camp, Snapdragon 8 Gen3 and Dimensity 9300, are hanging.
The presentation of the mobile game screen is already the status quo of Android surpassing Apple.
Many fruit fans are estimated to be holding their breath in their hearts, thinking that the A18 Pro can be ashamed, but judging from the latest exposure information, the Apple A18 Pro processor has not improved significantly in terms of performance.
Recently, an overseas blogger broke the news that the multi-core performance of Apple's A18 Pro processor has only increased by 10%, and the multi-core score in the GeekBench benchmark is estimated to be slightly more than 8000 points.
This result is in line with the multi-core score exposed earlier, when the exposed Geekbench 6 single multi-core score was about 3500/8200 points.
Compared with the current A17 Pro, the single and multi-core scores are 2906 / 7231 points, which is about 20% higher than the single core, and only 13% higher than the multi-core.
In contrast, the early GeekBench 6 running score of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chips in the Android camp has exceeded 10,000 points, and the single core is basically around 2700 and 2800, not to mention that the GPU has taken the lead in the previous generation.
Moreover, both platforms will use TSMC's 3nm process, and it is expected that the energy efficiency performance will also begin to catch up with the Apple A18 Pro.
Some media believe that Apple may be deliberately weakening the multi-core performance of the A18 Pro, thereby improving the overall battery life.
In addition, according to previous revelations, iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max will use A18 and A18 Pro chips respectively, and the biggest change in this series of chips is that they will use an "upgraded neural engine".
However, there are also sources that have broken out that Apple's chip department has a serious brain drain and excessive R&D pressure, and it is already a good effort to improve the performance by 10%.
The exposure of fixed-focus digital also further proves this - 8Gen4 single core is expected to reach 3500, while A18 is difficult to break 3300, Multi, Core, and GPU are far behind 8Gen4.
You know, one of the major advantages of Apple's A series chips is that its single-core performance can be fierce, and this time even the single-core performance will be surpassed by Snapdragon 8 Gen4, it seems that the game party still has to consider the Android flagship more.
