Apple’s A19 Pro in the Geekbench: Apple leaves the Android competition behind

The processor in Apple’s new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air has already appeared in the comparison benchmark Geekbench. The singlet threading performance is particularly exciting-it determines how brisk a smartphone feels in everyday life, and shows to what extent Apple has improved the performance cores.

The Results range from a good 3500 to almost 4000 points. The lowest evaluations seem to be outliers that can arise at high temperatures. The A19 Pro is the first smartphone processor that scratches the 4000 singing threading points. The best results of the A18 Pro are around 3400 points.

The Android competition is far away. Qualcomm’s fastest smartphone processor Snapdragon 8 Elite, depending on the model, comes up to less than 3000 to occasionally 3200 points. In the case of Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra (with the Snapdragon), the geekbench overview calls medium result of almost 2900 points. Google’s current tensor G5 in the Pixel 10 series Creates about 2300 points.

In the front in multithreading

In the multithreading test, the A19 Pro six CPU cores (two performance + four efficiency cores) are sufficient to keep up with the eight-core competition. 8800 to almost 10,500 points, the pre-benchmarks attest to the Apple processors. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is also located in this area. Google’s tensor G5 is also cut off with the best values ​​of 6400 points.

At the end of September, Qualcomm organizes its next Snapdragon Summit, where the company traditionally announces new processors. The successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite should land in smartphones from the beginning of 2026 and, with self-designed CPU nuclei, should have a further leap. This model is likely to be the most dangerous from the A19 Pro from a performance perspective.
