A couple of days ago, Apple launched the iPhone 14 series globally. The devices pack new features like emergency satellite connectivity, a refreshed UI experience, camera improvements, and the A16 Bionic chipset on the Pro models, to name a few.
The devices are yet to reach the customers. However, someone has already managed to install and run Geekbench on a Pro model. So let’s take a look at the performance.
The well-known tipster Ice Universe has shared a Geekbench result of what appears to be an A16 Bionic-powered iPhone. It is unclear if it is the Pro or the Pro Max model; however, the benchmark in itself isn’t that impressive. The new chip scores 1879 points on the single-core test and 4664 points on the multi-core test. For comparison, the A15-equipped iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max models usually manage scores of around 1730 points on the single-core tests and 4700 points on the multi-core tests.
If this is indeed the Geekbench score of an A16-equipped iPhone, it might answer the question of why Apple chose to compare the chipset to the older A13 Bionic rather than the A15 Bionic chipset of last year. The company might have opted to go with more efficiency rather than performance this time around, as it has claimed that the chips consume 20% less power than before.
