A14X Bionic - excellent Geekbench 5 scores

[pshufd]

An unnamed device powered by the A14X Bionic chip was reportedly benchmarked in Geekbench 5, which was likely an engineering sample, according to Wccftech. In terms of single core performance, the A14X Bionic scored a 1634 and a 7220 in multi-core performance.

Meanwhile, the big coup for the A14X Bionic was how it outperformed a 16-inch MacBook Pro powered by an Intel Core i9 CPU, which scored a 1096 in single-core performance and a 6869 in multi-core, which is a good bit behind the new Apple silicon.

The A14X Bionic looks mighty impressive

Sign me up! I'd love to know the thermals too but I'm guessing that they're going to be great given what we see in iPads.

We're already discussing it in this thread.

It's hard to say if these results are from a real benchmark or not, but they match the results you'd get by scaling up A14 performance to A14X in the same way performance scales up from the A12 to the A12X. So they are definitely a realistic guess.

It's nice to know that this is actually the SOC that will go in the next iPad Pro. This means Apple Silicon Macs will deliver even stronger performance given their predictably higher TDP.

Matching the results you'd get from scaling A12 to A12X is what makes me suspect they are in fact a guess rather than real numbers. We don't know at all whether Apple made exactly the same choices about performance and efficiency core counts, thermal limits, etc.

It's also telling that none of the stories (that I've found, anyways) has a link to a Geekbench database entry. Normally, when we see Geekbench numbers leak, it's because someone ran GB on a prototype device without disabling or otherwise blocking the feature which auto-uploads anonymous results to the GB website. But if you do a search for "A14X" in the GB5 results browser, you get zero results.

Shouldn't this be moved to the iPad subforum?
