AppleS A19 pro Chip Demonstrates performance Gains in Early iPhone Air Benchmarks
Barcelona, Spain – Initial benchmark tests of Apple’s new A19 Pro chip, debuting in the recently announced iPhone Air, reveal notable performance improvements over its predecessor, the A18 Pro. The chip’s capabilities were showcased alongside the launch of the iPhone 17 series, iPhone Air, and updated AirPods Pro and Apple Watch models.
The A19 Pro powers both the iPhone Air and the Pro models, differing slightly in GPU configuration. Early data indicates a 15% increase in multicore performance compared to the A18 Pro, with more modest gains in single-core tests. The iPhone Air utilizes a 5-core GPU, compared to the 6-core GPU found in the iPhone 17 Pro, resulting in slightly reduced graphic performance in certain tests.
According to published results, the iPhone Air achieved 9,497 points in geekbench 6 multicore tests and 4,211 points in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme. this surpasses the iPhone 16 Pro in CPU performance, despite some graphical limitations. The device also scored over 2,09 million points in Antutu 10, marking a substantial enhancement over both the A18 Pro and the A18 found in the iPhone 16 Plus.
Beyond raw power, the A19 Pro incorporates enhancements to artificial intelligence processing. Each GPU core includes neuronal accelerators, enabling more on-device processing and reducing reliance on Apple’s servers for tasks like computational photography and machine learning applications – a key component of Apple Intelligence.
Further testing is planned to assess the chip’s efficiency and sustained performance under prolonged use, especially given the iPhone Air’s thinner design.
Key Benchmark Results:
* GeekBench 6 Multi-core: 9,497 points
* geekbench 6 Single-core: 4,211 points
* Antutu 10: 2,095,675 points
* 3DMark Wild Life Extreme: 4,211 points
* 3DMark Solar bay: slightly exceeds A18 Pro performance.
