iPhone 17e Benchmarks Reveal A19 Chip Performance With a Tiny Catch

iPhone 17e Benchmarks Reveal A19 Chip Performance With a Tiny Catch

Published by skeptic

The first benchmarks for the iPhone 17e surfaced in the Geekbench 6 database today, offering a closer look at the A19 chip’s performance. For multi-core CPU performance, the highest score the iPhone 17e achieved so far is 9,241. As expected, this is nearly identical to the standard iPhone 17 model with the A19 chip, which has an average multi-core score of 9,249. There is one tiny catch, as the iPhone 17e has a 4-core GPU, whereas the iPhone 17 has a 5-core GPU. With one fewer GPU core, the iPhone 17e obviously has slightly lower graphics performance, with the device achieving Metal scores of around 31,000 to 31,500 in early Geekbench results, compared to around 37,000 for the iPhone 17. In our view, most customers are unlikely to notice a significant difference in graphics performance between the iPhone 17e and iPhone 17. The previous-generation iPhone 16e with an A18 chip also has a 4-core GPU. The table below provides a comparison of multi-core CPU scores for some iPhones. iPhone Model Multi-Core CPU Score iPhone 17 …

Here’s How Much Faster MacBook Air Gets With M5 Chip vs. M4 Chip

Here’s How Much Faster MacBook Air Gets With M5 Chip vs. M4 Chip

Published by skeptic

We now know how much faster the new MacBook Air with the M5 chip is compared to the previous model with an M4 chip, courtesy of a Geekbench 6 result shared by TechRadar‘s Lance Ulanoff. However, given the 14-inch MacBook Pro and the iPad Pro were already updated with the M5 chip last year, the result is not too surprising. Ulanoff ran Geekbench on a MacBook Air with an M5 chip, which has a 10-core CPU. The laptop achieved a score of 17,073 for multi-core CPU performance, whereas the MacBook Air with an M4 chip has an average multi-core score of 14,731, so the new model is up to 15% faster than the previous generation. This is in line with what Apple advertised when it announced the M5 chip back in October, so it was entirely expected. With the M5 chip, the Geekbench database shows that the MacBook Air is up to 16% faster than the MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip from a few years ago, but it is still slower than MacBook …

Apple’s M5 Max Chip Achieves a New Record in First Benchmark Result

Apple’s M5 Max Chip Achieves a New Record in First Benchmark Result

Published by skeptic

The first Geekbench 6 result for a 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Max chip surfaced today, and Apple has achieved record-breaking performance. In this unconfirmed result, the M5 Max with an 18-core CPU achieved a score of 29,233 for multi-core CPU performance, which tops the 27,726 score achieved by the Mac Studio’s M3 Ultra chip with a 32-core CPU. M5 Max is now the fastest Apple silicon chip ever, and it even topped every other consumer PC processor in the Geekbench database. In terms of multi-core CPU performance, the M5 Max is up to 5% faster than the M3 Ultra, and up to 14% to 15% faster than the M4 Max chip with a 16-core CPU. Here is a comparison of the multi-core CPU results: 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Max (18-core CPU): 29,233 (one result) Mac Studio with M3 Ultra (32-core CPU): 27,726 (average of all results) Mac Studio with M4 Max (16-core CPU): 26,166 (average of all results) 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max (16-core CPU): 25,702 (average of all results) As …
