iPhone 14 Pro Max with A16 chipset appears on Geekbench with minimal performance improvement

08 September 2022
It looks like the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are not missing out on much.

Only those that need to earn more 2fps for genshi while playing it on low 720p care about new SoCs.

    I guess Apple will have to say goodbye to one of their tag-lines, now. 'Thinner' and 'Lighter' are the only one's they have left...

      That's dynamic upgrade in chip..

        its ok as long as it has price upgrades!

          A16 seems more and more like a simple node shrink. Frequency is 7% up and performance is 9% up so basically 0 increase in IPC. Efficiency and performance gains are in line with TSMC's guidance for N4 vs N5 so Apple did basically nothing but switch nodes?
          Qualcomm's biggest chance to gain the performance crown with the SD 8 Gen 2. Really hyped for next years android flagships.

            Phones with this chipset, score 700,000-750,000 in Antutu. That's almost flagship level.
            And the way SD888 and SD8 gen 1 are so inefficient and throttle kings (I know because I have a SD888 phone), the SD870 is actually one of the best deals you can get right now. You can basically get a SD870 phone with 300-350EUR. Why would anyone pay 1,500EUR for an iPhone is beyond my power of understanding. But, I guess each with their own.

              That is why they showcased it against A13 and not against A15, which was like what the heck. Typical Apple for sheep people, wow'ing those people which these kind of showcases.

                Not a surprise. That is why, even in the presentation, they used the A13 as comparison, not the A15, because they wanted the gap on the screen appear larger. Trickery and marketing at its best. And the average user always fall for this kind of practices.
                Of course, all companies use similar practices, to trick the average user, but Apple brings this to the next level all the time. Paint everything nice, change some feature names, for people to think that those were actually new to iPhone 14 models and that's it, recipe of success. Lol.
                Maybe they built quality products and their software update policy is nice, but at what cost? Not worth it nowadays.

                  I think most of the chipsets offers plenty of power for most of the users, nowadays. I don't understand why next generation should be always more and more powerful. I got Xiaomi 12X with Snapdragon 870 and it's more potent than I need. And it's an outdated chipset. I believe it's time to push energy efficiency instead of chasing the raw power.

                    There was a chinese leak about the 8gen2 pro having 5.2k multi, wonder how true it is.

                      Qualcomm's Nuvia designs can't come soon enough. Oh, wait, ARM is now litigating with Qualcomm over them. I don't understand why.

                        3.46Ghz, the single thread performance increase is from the overclock, GPU 50% more bandwidth because of LPDDR5 RAM and NPU 1 more TOPS. Lowest upgrade on a series chip ever.

                          Wow what a surprise..

                          There hasn't been any changes, updates, innovation since iPhone X and there probably won't be anything new until iPhone 20

                            I love how Apple, Qualcomm and Samsung always use the magic 20% to advertise the amount of power efficiency compared to previous gen chip.

                              Multicore is about 200 lower? 😵
