Enlarge image Benchmark scores for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Zen 4, which is expected to be installed in the Galaxy S24, and the A18 Pro chipset, which is expected to be installed in the iPhone 16, have been leaked. Since it has not been released yet, it is not necessary to take the benchmark score directly, but can be used to infer the performance of the two smartphones next year. On the left of the photo is the Galaxy S23 Ultra and on the right the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Photo = Each company The Galaxy S24 equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (3rd generation) has just started to be sold, but the benchmark results for Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which will be released next year, have already been leaked online, sparking controversy. I am. Subsequently, the benchmark results of the A18 Pro, which will be installed on the Apple iPhone 16, were leaked, and in the early stages a mock match took place between the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro.
On the 28th of last month (January), the CPU benchmark results of the Snapdragon 8 Zen 4 benchmark tool “Geekbench 6” were released. The data released by a foreign tipster using the ID “@negativeonehero” showed a single-core score of 2845 and a multi-core score of 10,628. In the case of multi-core, the Galaxy S24 Ultra equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 recorded 7249 points, so the fourth-generation chipset is about 46% faster in a multi-threaded environment.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Zen 4, like MediaTek Dimension City, seems to have significantly improved multi-core performance by eliminating the little core and configuring only the big core and middle core. Furthermore, the overall performance ratio is known to be quite excellent as it is manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm process. This score is similar to Apple’s latest M3 chipset’s multi-core score of 10,762, which appears to have achieved impressive performance for a mobile AP.
Meanwhile, on the 30th, the same person (@negativeonehero) added to X the Geekbench 6 benchmark information for the A18 Pro, which will be installed on the Apple iPhone 16. According to the post, the single core score of the A18 Pro it was 3500 points and the multi-core score was 8200 points.
Considering that the benchmark score of the current AP, A17 Pro, is 2,900 points for single core and 7,200 points for multi-core, the single-core score has improved by about 20% and the multi-core score has improved by about 10%, but the single-core score of 3,500 points is considered quite encouraging.
Currently, smartphone and PC CPUs have multiple brains (cores) that perform calculations, but single core literally means working using only one brain (core). It works as a single core for tasks that don’t require a lot of computation, such as writing documents, searching the Internet, checking email, and listening to music. Therefore, the single core score, mainly used in daily life, is 3500 points because it is expected to provide stable performance, low heat generation and long-lasting battery performance.

In contrast, the multi-core score in situations where high-performance tasks need to be executed using two or more cores is considered a bit disappointing. This is because the latest games enjoyed by many users require a significant amount of physical calculations, so 8200 points is lower than the competition for purposes such as gaming, multitasking and 3D graphics work. Considering Apple has recently made triple-A console masterpieces like “Assassin’s Creed Mirage,” “Death Stranding” and “Resident Evil RE:4” playable on Apple devices, the importance of the multi-core soundtrack can’t be stressed enough. they are not missing.
Of course, the currently leaked Geekbench 6 benchmark results of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Zen 4 and A18 Pro are not the final results. Scores may change significantly at launch. However, considering Qualcomm’s currently well-received Snapdragon 8 Zen 3, it is expected that the Zen 4 will also be released satisfactorily. Now, the impact of the phrase “performance iPhone” seems to be slowly diminishing.
