In the new iPhone lineup, only the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max models received the latest A16 chipset, while the base versions received last year’s A15. The devices will go on sale on September 16 (except for the Plus version, which will be released in October), so there is no way to test them in detail right now. However, the iPhone 14 Pro Max benchmark results have already appeared in the Geekbench database, and they are not impressive.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max (in the iPhone15.3 database) scored 1879 in the single-core test and 4664 in the multi-core test. For comparison, the results of the iPhone 13 Pro Max are 1725 and 4848 points, respectively. In percentage terms, this is only a 9% increase in performance in the first test, and in the second, it generally decreases. It should be noted that the clock speed of the processor cores of the iPhone 14 Pro Max was increased from 3.23 to 3.46 GHz. Of course, it is too early to draw final conclusions, but preliminary estimates do not cause optimism.
During the presentation, Apple showed a chart comparing the new A16 chip with the A13 introduced in 2019. The company said that processor performance increased by 33.3%. Given these data, a 9% increase over last year’s chip looks quite plausible. Apple also claims that the 33.3% increase in performance is due to the move to 4nm.
It is worth noting that Geekbench does not take into account the GPU, and in this regard, A16 can have significant improvements. After all, the A15 chip for the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max contains five graphics cores. Last but not least, the iPhone 14 Pro Max still has 6GB of RAM like its predecessor.
