Apple’s colorful phone offers identical performance to the premium iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max devices, but in a package with a longer battery life that costs a cool $250 less.
Provided the results are genuine, the “pro” configuration of the new Mac mini offers performance comparable to the aging Mac Pro which released in 2013. It also outperforms 2017 iMac models, but not the latest iMac Pro.
First synthetic benchmarks show modest CPU gains for Apple’s new MacBook Air model unveiled last week over both 2017’s model and the one-port 12-inch MacBook notebook.
The new iPad Pros have comparable power to Apple’s nearly $3,000 2.6GHz 2018 MacBook Pro model outfitted with Intel’s latest six-core i7 processor.
Initial Geekbench scores on the recently announced 2018 MacBook Pro lineup show significant improvements over last year’s models.
The new iPhones should be outfitted with four gigabytes of RAM, not three like the current iPhone X and 8 models, and have 40% faster graphics and at least 10% faster CPU.
An unreleased, much faster MacBook Pro notebook model with twice the RAM and running Intel’s powerful six-core “Coffee Lake” chip might be about to be announced soon.
This problem will only get worse as iPhones and their batteries continue to age.
New iPhones crush every Android phone out there as early Geek benchmarks of the new A11 Bionic chip in iPhone 8 and X show scores on par with the top-of-the-line 13-inch MacBook Pro model.
Available on App Store free of charge, Primate Labs’ refreshed Geekbench app now lets you measure the performance of mobile GPUs in iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac devices. Geekbench 4.1 brings a new Compute Benchmark to iOS and macOS. Written using Apple’s new graphics API, Metal, it measures the performance of the GPU at executing common compute tasks such as image processing and computational photography.
Apple typically takes the iPhone’s A-series chips and updates them for iPads with more GPU cores and a faster performing, higher-clocked CPU. These chips typically have an “X” in their name, but with new iPad Pros and a fifth-generation iPad mini due in Spring 2017 the company has not yet officially announced an “X” variant of the iPhone 7’s A10 Fusion chip.
Today, a source on Chinese social network Weibo posted alleged synthetic GeekBench 4 benchmark scores that could indicate at least one-fifth faster CPU performance in both single-core and dual-core computing for the purported A10X Fusion chip.
New Geekbench benchmark test scores have surfaced online and appear to confirm the rumor that the iPhone 7 Plus comes with 3GB of RAM, the highest amount of memory ever built into an iPhone to date.
