Apple introduced its iPhone 12 lineup earlier this week, and the vanilla iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are already gearing up for preorder ahead of hitting the market next week. Today we looked at the dashboards for the two devices in the AnTuTu database, giving us a sneak peek at synthetic performance.
Both iPhone 12 devices are powered by the A14 Bionic, which is the first 5nm chipset, but the raw numbers reveal rather disappointing results compared to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 chip, used by most Android flagship products.
Apple iPhone 12 • Apple iPhone 12 Pro
The sum of 570,000 ish of GPU, CPU, memory and user interface in AnTuTu is anything but impressive. As a quick comparison, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro scores over 687,000, with the biggest gap in the GPU score, which is 40% lower on iPhones.
In the other three segments, Apple has less than 10% performance to catch up, and the memory difference is roughly 6%, at least in the iPhone 12’s 4 / 256GB memory combo and the 6 variation. / 128GB of the iPhone 12 Pro. This is also probably the first post-launch confirmation that the 12 Pro models will get 6GB of RAM, compared to the 4GB of the vanilla iPhone 12.
Even if we ignore the cross-platform comparisons, which we probably should since cross-platform benchmarks will always be at least somewhat imprecise, the A14 is barely faster than its predecessor – the 7nm A13 Bionic chip. The iPhone 11 Pro Max scores 536,883 points in AnTuTu 8, giving these two members of the iPhone 12 family a slight 5-6% advantage.
