Wow, faster than my top of the line Dell XPS I bought last year. The latest 15” MacBook Pros are only 3000-4000 ahead in their score. Apple is catching up quick.
 
These benchmarks are a complete joke. I’ll bet $1 million that that thing can’t hold that level of performance for more than 5 seconds before severely throttling.
Hyperbole aside, do you have any comparisons of recent snapdragons or Exynos vs the a series when it comes to throttling? I’m having a hard time digging up info on that kind of test.
 
Hah I had just searched for this earlier today and it didn’t have any results yet. Still trying to hold out hope that maybe it’s a 12.9” thing.
 
Did AnandTech even review last year's iPad Pros?

No but they also missed last years iPhone, and this year they got the XS in pretty quickly, so I believe they are back on track now (they did do an A10x in depth analysis however). Think they were missing a reviewer for awhile.

So your saying this chip would intrigue you if it were in a large enclosure with proper cooling... say a laptop?

I am really amazed at what Apple is able to do, the A12X can’t be using more than 10W either. Intel better watch out!

Against the 4 core i5 in the 2018 13" macbook pro (this was the fastest i5 macbook pro result in the gb4 database)

https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/10493082?baseline=10568063

This is a 28W TDP CPU and when turbo boosting can consume up to 50W according to notebookcheck https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Pro-13-2018-Touch-Bar-i5-Laptop-Review.316648.0.html
 
When will iPads app stay open like on Mac OS? if I leave photoshop open for days and come back into it apps never reload/refresh on a laptop. Will iPads ever be able to do this?

Is it possible that all 12.9in models have 6GB and 11" models have 4GB? Are we able to tell if that Geekbench with 4GB is a 12.9 or 11?

That’s what I was thinking, especially given the difference in scores since the smaller pro has always been clocked a little lower.
 
Can't stop laughing reading this thread. Sincer when geekbench is a trusted, reliable benchmark? :)))
If you do some research, latest ARM architecture allows turbo increase of cores from CPUs and gpus for short periods of time. I bet Apple has optimised this turbo times just for this benchmark.
Again, the title says all: geek
A real floating point, integer benchmark will be 3d mark...

Ok smartypants, if you did your research, that is exactly what Intel does (and just about every other CPU vendor does). Even to a greater extent. That's why intel calls it turbo boost. For example, the intel cpu in the Macbook 12" runs at 1.2Ghz, but turboboosts to 3.2Ghz.

3Dmark is a GPU benchmark not CPU - get your facts right.

How does it compare to the 2017, 10.5” iPP?
here you go:

Awesome to see. Apple's chip team is probably the most impressive aspect of the company today. I can't wait until they bring their own chips to laptops and desktops. A 5.9mm fanless machine producing these sort of results should translate very well to a MacBook Pro or iMac. I have no issue with the RAM as 4GB is more than enough with iOS and I'll likely be upgrading next year anyway. It may show its age around iOS 15.
 
Thats Not Really so Impressive when you consider The Note 9 CPU scores which js a year old now.

Are 4089 Single Core and 12,289 Multicore

And thats an 8 Core Mobile chip.
Stop making things up. The Note 9 does not score anywhere near the number you quote

Can you share those results? I am only seeing 8,876 multicore score, which is lower than the iPhone X.
 
Looks like there are more results starting to show up. An 11" with 6GB ram. It would appear that the 6GB for 1TB models appears to be true.

We don’t know for sure yet what the 512 models have, do we? We know the 1TB has 6gb and a different model has 4gb, but that’s it.

True, I am still waiting on the official word. I’m just basing this on the majority of rumors that are saying all the other models but the 1 TB have 4 gigs of ram. I haven’t ordered yet, cause if there is a chance the 512 comes with 6 gigs, I will probably go with that over the 1 TB.
