Amazing! Apple A16 Bionic on iPhone 14 Pro PROVES biggest GPU performance upgrade in years
Ever since the iPhone 14 went official, many have said that the performance grades are minimal over the iPhone 13 models. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus get to use the same A15 Bionic chip as last year's iPhone 13 Pro, while the A16 Bionic on iPhone 14 Pro models only show marginal upgrades. An earlier Geekbench visit had even shown only minor gains in numbers when compared to the A15 Bionic on the iPhone 13 Pro. However, the AnTuTu numbers show that there's a lot of performance hiding in the A16.
A leaked screenshot of the AnTuTu data of the A16 Bionic has shown some massive gains in GPU performance over the A15 Bionic chip. The CPU performance is up by 17 percent whereas the GPU performance is up by 28 percent. The memory performance is up by 10 percent too. On an average, that's an improvement of 19 percent over the iPhone 13 Pro models. Note that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus use the same 5-core GPU equipped A15 Bionic instead of the new A16 Bionic. This means the Pro models are faster by 19 percent theoretically.
Additionally, the data shows that the iPhone 14 Pro ends up being the more capable Pro model than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. That comes as no surprise, since the A16 Bionic has to push lesser pixels on the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro than the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max. It is always the smaller iPhones that end up being the more powerful phones than the larger phones with the same chip.
The A16 Bionic has a lot going for it than the A15 Bionic. While the A15 Bionic used the 5nm node, the A16 gets the new 4nm, which is the same as the manufacturing process of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Theoretically, we should expect much better battery life on the A16 equipped models.
However, the benchmark data is only one aspect of
