The OnePlus 13 will reportedly be unveiled next month, which only means that the upcoming flagship will be taken through its paces and tested using various benchmark apps to gauge its performance. Well, the first indication of the handset’s single-core and multi-core prowess has been posted on Geekbench 6, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 cementing its position as the fastest smartphone chipset on the planet. The A18 that was recently announced for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus is no match for Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, and a comparison with last year’s A17 Pro shows an even bigger […]
An early single-core and multi-core result of the A18 running in the iPhone 16 was rather disappointing, showing that the SoC was slightly slower than the A17 Pro featured in the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Fortunately, the updated scores are here, with the multi-threaded scores displaying an almost 28 percent higher figure compared to the previous benchmarking run. A18’s single-core score also sees an improvement, but Geekbench 6 was tested on a different iPhone 16 The new scores were shared by @negativeonehero, showing that the A18 obtained a single-core score and multi-core score of 3,409 and 8,492.
