**New York, NY** – Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models are showing impressive performance in benchmark tests, potentially exceeding the capabilities of the M1 chip, which powered early Apple Silicon Macs.
Geekbench results, tied to the iPhone 17,1 designation for this year’s Pro models, reveal a single-core score of 3429 and a multi-core score of 8790. This marks a significant improvement over last year’s Pro models, aligning with Apple’s own keynote numbers from the Glowtime event.
The A18 Pro chip’s multi-core score of 8790 surpasses the M1’s benchmark of around 8300, indicating a slight edge for the mobile processor. This achievement underscores the remarkable progress Apple has made in mobile chip development in recent years.
While benchmarks don’t always translate directly to real-world performance, they provide an early glimpse into the potential power of the A18 Pro chip. This development suggests that Apple’s mobile processors are closing the gap with their desktop counterparts.
Apple has also confirmed that the latest iPhone models will feature 8GB of RAM, matching the base M1 chip.
This news comes as Apple continues to innovate and push boundaries in the mobile technology space.
