What if the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 beats the iPhone 16 Pro’s A18 Pro chip?
The iPhone's A-series chip has traditionally been the fastest in the industry, often setting records in benchmark tests, at least for single-core measurements. In real-life speed tests, the iPhone still comes out on top, but the differences nowadays aren't quite as significant as they once were. The iPhone 15 Pro Max vs. Galaxy S24 Ultra speed test we saw recently proves that.
The next big battle between mobile chips will happen later this year. We're anticipating the launch of the A18 Pro that will power the iPhone 16 Pro models and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip that Qualcomm will release in the fourth quarter of the year.
History tells us that the A18 Pro should win in benchmark tests. But that real-life performance should get even closer than the current generation of flagship chips. After all, how fast could these chips get? Does it even matter if we don't notice the speed gains?
What if 2024 turns out to be the year Qualcomm's best chip beats Apple's in benchmarks? A very early leak hints that that might be the case.
