A little over a month remains before Apple announces four new iPhone 17 models, with its A19 Pro reserved for the very best offerings the company has to showcase later this year. The chipset is expected to be fabricated on TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process, bringing slight improvements over its immediate predecessor, the A18 Pro, which is absolutely no slouch in the performance and efficiency department. While we gear up for the launch, we are still disappointed that we have not stumbled across any benchmark leaks for the upcoming A19 and A19 Pro. However, this fake result did show some promise, highlighting an 8-core CPU instead of the traditional 6-core specification.
Similar results of the A19 Pro could not be located on Geekbench 6’s database, indicating a forged benchmark
While the results shared by Dame Tech on X would have been downright impressive if the Geekbench 6 leak was legit, we obviously do not want to lead readers down that false road, but it does make for an interesting conversation. The performance cores are shown to be operating at clock speeds of 4.49GHz, with the increased frequency obtaining a single-core score of 4,309 points, with the 8-core CPU helping to achieve a score of 11,604. The multi-threaded result almost matches Apple’s M3, which we previously reported to have obtained 11,863 points.
To be fair, despite these results being fake, they are still more realistic than the previous numbers that we talked about in which the A19 Pro absolutely steamrolled the A18 Pro, gaining a mammoth 80 percent lead in multi-core scores, while also beating the M4. Historically, we do not remember a time when Apple’s A-series chipsets’ performance figures have been posted on Geekbench prior to their official announcement, signaling that the company generally has things under control the majority of the time.
However, as far as rumors go, the A19 and A19 Pro will not be focusing on raw performance this year, with Apple shifting gears towards the efficiency side of things so its iPhone 17 lineup can churn out better battery life. We also do not think that the Cupertino firm’s newest SoCs will deliver a substantial performance gain over the A18 and A18 Pro thanks to the lithography alone, though we are excited as to what the A20 and A20 Pro are capable of, given that these two will reportedly use TSMC’s 2nm technology. As for these fake scores, let us know what you think in the comments.
