The A15 Bionic chip on the iPhone 13 has a benchmark

Apple introduced the iPhone 13 series during the “California Streaming” event held on September 14. All four new iPhone models are equipped with the A15 Bionic chip, but Apple did not mention the difference in performance compared to the previous generation, but only said that the new chipset is up to 50% more powerful than the competition. painting.

Recently, the benchmark scores of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro have just been found on the Geekbench performance scoring platform. The results show that iPhone 13 Pro (with model number iPhone 14,2) achieved 14216 Metal points (measurement of GPU performance), 55% higher than the iPhone 12 and A14 Bionic’s 9123 scores.

The A15 Bionic chip equipped on iPhone 13 models has 6 CPU cores, including 2 high-performance cores and 4 energy-saving cores. Despite having the same CPU, the GPU on the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro is slightly different. Accordingly, the iPhone 13 and 13 mini are equipped with 4-core GPUs, while the higher-end iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max have 5-core GPUs.

This also creates a big difference in benchmark scores between iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro. According to Geekbench’s assessment, the standard iPhone 13 (iPhone 14.5) achieved 10608 Metal points, but still 3600 points lower than the iPhone 13 Pro. Even so, this score is still about 15% higher than the iPhone 12 and A14 Bionic.

In terms of CPU performance, all four iPhone 13 models have similar scores and are not too different because they are all equipped with 6-core CPUs. The A15 Bionic on the iPhone 13 series has a single-core score of about 1725 and a general multi-core score of 4600.

The numbers above show that the single-core performance of the A15 increases by about 10% compared to the A14 Bionic on the iPhone 12 lineup, while the multi-core performance increases by about 18%. Of course, this is only a rough estimate, as these numbers can change over time – after Apple releases new software updates in the future.
