Apple's A20 Pro chip has surfaced in benchmark results, signaling a substantial leap in mobile processing power for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max. This performance jump matters because it establishes a new baseline for single-core speed that leaves rival Android flagships far behind. Buyers tracking high-end smartphone silicon will see Apple widening its gap with competitors in raw computational throughput.
Leaked Geekbench data reveals A20 Pro chip performance metrics
The leaked data comes from a device identified as iPhone19,3 running Geekbench 6.7. The processor features a six-core CPU layout split into two performance cores and four efficiency cores. These two high-performance cores are clocked at a peak speed of 4.93 GHz, which is an unusually high frequency for a mobile chip. The device is equipped with 12 GB of physical RAM to support these intensive workloads.
A20 Pro Benchmarks
- Geekbench 6.7 Single-Core Score: 4,725
- Geekbench 6.7 Multi-Core Score: 12,575
- CPU Configuration: 6-core (2+4)
- Peak Clock Speed: 4.93 GHz
- RAM: 12 GB
In single-core testing, the A20 Pro scored 4,725 points, while the multi-core test yielded 12,575 points. These figures represent a significant increase over previous generations and rival chips. The integrated GPU also showed strong results, scoring 64,069 points in the Geekbench Metal benchmark. This graphics score indicates a roughly 40% performance uplift compared to the A19 Pro GPU found in the previous model.
When compared directly to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, the A20 Pro demonstrates a 38% advantage in single-core tasks and a 35% lead in multi-core workloads. This performance gap suggests that Apple's custom silicon is maintaining a dominant position in the premium smartphone market.
