New iPhone X offers nearly the same performance as a MacBook

Everyone’s expecting the iPhone X to be super-fast, but a set of leaked benchmarks shows the device will actually be a space rocket as compared to the majority of Android phones on the market.

Earlier today, Geekbench displayed the test results of a new Apple device called iPhone10.5, which is very likely to be the iPhone X launching in approximately one hour at the Apple Park.

And while the scores might not tell you too much at first glance, it’s interesting to compare the results of the iPhone X with the ones that the top Android devices received.

The Samsung Galaxy S8, for instance, which is currently one the most powerful Android devices on the market, received 2024 points in the single-core test and 6279 points in the multi-core test. iPhone X? You’re not going to believe it: 4,095 in the single core and 9969 in the multi core.

All Android devices far behind

It goes without saying that the other Android devices that you can buy right now are even more behind, and living plus is the OnePlus 5 which so many people praise these days. The OP5 reached 1932 points in the single-core test and 6495 points in the multi-core test.

What’s also very surprising is that the iPhone X is getting performance figures that are close to those of the MacBook pro, which when equipped with an i5 chip, achieved 4342 points and 9194 points, respectively. The newly-launch iPad Pro is also behind with 3558 and 9133 points, respectively.

The iPhone X will come with the Apple A11 chip and paired with just 3 GB RAM, which makes it even more surprising that it manages to beat the Samsung Galaxy S8 by such a big margin.

Full details about the new iPhone X will be provided by Apple itself in a press conference that starts in less than one hour at the company’s new headquarters at the Apple Park.
