Apple A18 Pro in iPhone 16 Pro Max outperforms M1 chip GPU: new performance standard with results above MacBook Air and iPad Pro

Apple's new A18 Pro chip debuted in the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and its results in GPU tests are surprising. In the recent Geekbench test, the new SoC demonstrated an advantage over its predecessor, the A17 Pro, exceeding its performance by about 18%.

Here's What We Know

This means that the new GPU has a Metal rating of 32,997, compared to 28,022 points in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The A18 Pro's score is even higher than the M1 chip used in the 2020 MacBook Air and 2021 iPad Pro. The M1 chip scores around 32,548 points in the GPU test, so surpassing this result of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is a significant achievement.

This boost in GPU performance could have a positive impact on the iPhone 16 Pro Max's gaming capabilities, providing better performance in AAA games. This could be a game-changer for gamers who have previously reported performance issues on the iPhone 15 Pro, such as frame drops and overheating.

The true performance of the new chips has yet to be evaluated in real-world gaming environments. However, preliminary figures promise significant improvements over previous models.
