Here’s the AnTuTu Score of the Apple A16 Bionic Chip: 28% Improvement in GPU

Introduction

Along with the iPhone 14 Pro series, Apple introduced its new A16 Bionic chip. It uses TSMC’s N4 node, which is an improved version of the N5 node that powers the A15 Bionic. Further, Apple claims the A16 to be the world’s fastest chip on a smartphone.

Now, about a week after the introduction of the A16 Bionic, we have the benchmark scores of both iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max from AnTuTu. So, let’s check them out.

Apple A16 Bionic Chip AnTuTu Benchmark Scores

The test was performed on the top 1TB variant of both the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, and the following is the full breakdown of the scores:

iPhone 14 Pro		iPhone 14 Pro Max
CPU Score	246,572	CPU Score	241,999
GPU Score	408,723	GPU Score	403,717
MEM Score	176,151	MEM Score	180,737
UX Score	146,701	UX Score	146,483
Total Score	978,147	Total Score	972,936

The A16 Bionic chip sees an 18.8% increase in overall performance compared to the previous gen A15 Bionic. Further breakdown of the AnTuTu scores shows a 17% increase in CPU performance, a 10% improvement in memory, and a whopping 28% jump in GPU performance.

Some of the key features of the A16 Bionic are:

The Apple A16 Bionic uses TSMC’s N4 node, which is an improved version of the N5 node that powers the A15 Bionic.
For speed and efficiency, the A16 features 16 billion transistors. It features a billion more transistors than the A15 Bionic (15 billion transistors)
It features a five-core GPU with 50% more memory bandwidth than A15 Bionic.
The A16 Bionic packs a 16-core neural engine that can perform nearly 17 trillion operations per second, allowing pixel-by-pixel analysis to optimize photos.
As per Apple, the A16 features an advanced ISP that powers the creative flexibility of the quad‑pixel sensor.
The A16 Bionic is very power-efficient. It is claimed to consume 30% lesser power than the A15 Bionic chip.
The leaked Geekbench score of A16 Bionic shows a single-core score of 1879 and a multi-core score of 4664.

Conclusion

Apple A16 Bionic is the latest chip claimed to be the world’s fastest chip on a smartphone. It will be interesting to see how the chip competes against Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor that uses the same TSMC process.

Here, we’ve mentioned the A16 Bionic specifications and benchmark scores. I hope you found the article helpful.
