Apple A20 Pro Sets Single-Core Record, Surpassing M5 Max in Geekbench 7
New performance benchmarks reveal the Apple A20 Pro's impressive dominance in single-core tasks, surpassing previous standards set by the powerful M5 series for desktop and laptop computers.
Performance Details and Results
A device identified internally as the iPhone 18 Pro Max, powered by the A20 Pro chip, scored 4042 points in the single-core test on Geekbench 7.
This result clearly beat the M5 Max processor found in 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which recorded 3785 points in the same test, placing the smartphone chip at the top of the list for instantaneous speed.
Technical Context
This achievement adds to the success story of Apple's mobile processors, as the previous A19 Pro outperformed M4 chips in single-core performance, while Mac processors remain superior in multi-core tasks and complex graphics due to their higher core count.
These results confirm the continued dominance of Apple Silicon in single-threaded processing efficiency, enhancing the user experience in applications that rely more on single-core responsiveness than parallel computing power.
