Leaked Apple A18 chipset benchmarks peg iPhone 16 Pro as gaming beast،

TL;DR

Alleged references of the Apple A18 processor series have appeared.
The A18 processor performs on par with the A17.
A18 Pro series graphics are almost 40% faster.

Apple is gearing up to launch the iPhone 16 series with new A18 chipsets that are said to significantly improve AI calculations and machine learning on the device. The Apple A18 Bionic will eventually land in the iPhone16 And iPhone16 Additionally, while the high-end A18 Pro will power the flagship iPhone16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max handsets.

The new A18 processors are said to be in the trial and testing production phase at the TSMC foundry and will use its upgraded 3nm N3E process node. The second generation of a production node typically brings improvements in stability and power consumption, rather than a huge improvement in performance. So Apple could actually use it to add features instead of clock speed.

A recently leaked performance score of the purported A18 series of chipsets running the most popular benchmark suites has appeared from the vast confines of the Chinese blogosphere, and it's a real madness.

The Weibo posts were later removed, but a few snapshots clarify that they are based on pre-production builds and reference cards. Apple could therefore decide to further adjust the performance/features/power consumption ratio for retail. iPhone16 combined.

The first pass shows somewhat improved results which show that the A8 processor could be much faster than the current A17 processor. The pass doesn't specify what clock speed the chipsets were running at, but the second round of A18 tests released show a more credible performance score that's roughly in line with the current generation.

iPhone 16 Pro graphics

Where the iPhone16 The Pro series could, however, shine in gaming, computational photography, and other departments that need a powerful graphics subsystem. Compared to the current iPhone 15 Pro GPU, Apple A18 Pro graphics benchmarks show it could be over 30% faster.

Of course, this would bode well for all players in the industry. iPhone16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. But most importantly, it could once again put it significantly ahead of Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon series of processors, which has recently caught up with Apple in the GPU department.
