The new iPhone 14 have already been presented to the whole world. Thanks to the rumors, for a few months we knew that the standard versions would retain the A15 chip seen in the iPhone 13 Pro, while the most powerful models would make the jump to the A16 Bionic. Today, the results of a test of Geekbench confirm a jump in performance, although perhaps not as considerable as some expected.
The tests were uploaded to Geekbench and shared by MacRumors. The differences between the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro are mainly seen in the multi-core test – as usual – while in the single-core the disparity is significantly smaller.
First, the single-core performance of the A16 chip in the iPhone 14 Pro was measured against the A15 in the 13 Pro. The results showed that the first got a score of 1887, while the second got 1707 points. The difference between the two is 187 points, which can also be read as a 10.5% improvement.
On the other hand, the multicore measurements yielded a much more remarkable result. While iPhone 14 Pro scored 5455, iPhone 13 Pro 4659. With this, it is determined that the new generation of processors is 17.1% more powerful than the current one —in the test multicore—.
iPhone 14 Pro (A16) | iPhone 13 Pro (A15) | |
multi core | 5455 | 4659 |
single core | 1887 | 1707 |
iPhone 14 Pro vs. iPhone 13 Pro: a fight for power
Now, we are waiting for more data in the coming days. The reason? Yesterday, some portals echoed a first test carried out on the A16 Bionic. However, his numbers were somewhat surprising due to the small margin in relation to the previous chip. These figures also contrast with those of Geekbench.
In the single-core test, the iPhone 14 Pro’s A16 scored 1,879 points, versus the iPhone 13 Pro’s 1,707. When it came to multi-core, we saw an anecdotal difference, from just 4664 for the A16, and 4659 for the A15.
What do these unequal results mean? Well, it is quite likely that Apple is working right now on fine-tuning the latest details of iOS 16 for your new generation. After all, a small change in the system can cause the results to vary drastically. For this reason, it is presumable that, when the launch date of the new iPhone 14 Pro arrives, we will see a slightly more noticeable jump.
