Just a day after Apple announced the iPhone 13 models, the first Geekbench score already appeared. Someone has compared the GPU performance of the iPhone 13 Pro and there is a significant increase in performance compared to the iPhone 12 Pro of the previous generation.

Apple iPhone 13 models include an A15 chip with 6 CPU cores, including two performance cores and four efficiency cores. Both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro devices have the same CPU, but there are differences in terms of the GPU. The PiPhone 13 and 13 mini are equipped with a 4-core GPU, while the 13iPhone 13 Pro and the high-end iPhone 13 Pro Max have a 5-core GPU.
Apple has called the A15 chip with the 5-core GPU of the Pro models the “fastest smartphone chip in the world” and says it offers “graphics performance up to 50% faster than any other smartphone chip · Ligent “. Given the difference shown in the metal scores, this seems to be accurate, as the A15 of the Pro models outperforms the A14. The benchmark also confirms that the Pro models have 6GB of RAM, as seen in Xcode. The iphone 13 and 13 mini have 4 GB of RAM.
No one has compared any of the standard models of the iPhone 13, so we don’t know how it compares to the previous generation A14, nor do we have any CPU benchmarks to compare CPU performance between the A14 and the ‘A15. Apple has said little about the A15’s CPU and, instead of comparing it to the A14, Apple has noted that it is “up to 50% faster” than the competition.
The iPad mini has the same A15 chip with 5-core GPU found in the iphone iPhone 13 Pro models, so we can expect the same graphics performance from Apple’s updated tablet.
With the iphone 13 programming released next week and which will soon be in the hands of reviewers, we won’t have to wait too long to get additional A15 benchmarks to give us more information about its overall performance. The new iPhones will be available for booking on Friday, September 17 at 5:00 Pacific time.
