Apple A18 Pro Geekbench 6 Score

Apple is rumored to use the A18 SOC in all models of the iPhone 16 series. This is very good news for users who are considering buying the iPhone 16. The iPhone 15 introduced last year uses the previous generation Apple A16 Bionic, which is the same SOC as the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Some people did not prefer the iPhone 15 and 14 models because of the lack of an upgrade in the processor department. Now, the Geekbench 6 result of the emerging A18 Pro gives some information about the next generation of iPhones.

Apple A18 Pro scored 3500 on single-core and 8200 on multi-core, with better single-core performance compared to the previous generation A17 Pro. For reference, the A17 Pro only scored 2906 on single core and 7231 on multi-core. Recently, a Geekbench result was leaked on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, showing much better multi-core performance than the Apple A18 Pro.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 scored 2985 on single core and 10762 on multi-core in the leaked Geekbench 6 results, which is quite close to Apple’s M3 chip. We will start seeing devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in the 4th quarter of this year. Especially the comparison between the highly anticipated Apple A18 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will reveal which chip will win in 2025.
