Replying to an earlier post

The phone has been out for 10 days and this article is from 6 days before it was released.

Why are we looking at an “early benchmark” from before release instead of an actual real benchmark of the device. I don’t get why Geekbench doesn’t have results for iPhone 18, or why this “early benchmark” calls it “iPhone19,2.”

If true, the single core performance of this chip is almost identical to the single-core performance of the new M6 chip.

Something doesn’t seem right, but I don’t know a lot about Geekbench or iOS benchmarks to know if this seems legit or not.

Edit: apparently they haven’t shipped yet?

If true, the single core performance of this chip is almost identical to the single-core performance of the new M6 chip.

The two “super” cores on the A20 pro are the exact same as the two on the M6 asside from some extra L2 Cache on the M6.
