First A18 Pro benchmarks smoke the Pixel 9, Galaxy S24, and even MacBooks
Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 earlier this week, confirming most of the rumors that preceded the announcement. The star of the show in the iPhone 16 might be the brand-new chips. The A18 powers the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, while the A18 Pro is reserved for the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.
Both chips are based on a new 3nm process, and they will offer impressive speed and efficiency gains. Apple dedicated plenty of time on stage to each A18 version to highlight its novelties. But Apple didn't hold back during the iPhone 16 Pro segment, saying that the A18 Pro is the fastest chip in any smartphone.
After so many years of dominating the mobile chip industry without a real challenger, that claim made complete sense. And we now have the first A18 Pro benchmarks that prove Apple's claim is accurate. The A18 Pro smoked its competitors in Geekbench 6 testing. In fact, it even tops Apple's MacBook Air and Pro models with older M-series chips.
