Apple A20 Pro chip powers iPhone 18 Pro, scores over 4,000 in Geekbench 7 single-core — 32% ahead of Samsung’s current flagship. NPU score exceeds 7,000 in Geekbench AI. Android rivals fall below 1,000 in the same test. No pricing, availability or camera details confirmed in reporting, only benchmark performance claims from Notebookcheck’s review, published Friday at 12:08 p.m. UTC.
The iPhone 18 Pro is the device running the chip. No mention of an iPhone 18 or iPhone 18 Pro Max appears in the source. The review compares it to the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Pro. Both shipping with either Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Dimensity 9500, and declares Apple’s lead decisive across CPU, GPU and NPU workloads.
Single-core gain over last year’s A19 Pro is 22%. Multi-core lead is smaller but still sufficient for Notebookcheck to crown the A20 Pro ‘benchmark king’. The review notes the iPhone 18 Pro’s 6.3-inch OLED display and compact form factor as usability advantages. But does not state screen resolution, refresh rate, battery capacity or weight.
No Indian or US price is given. No launch date is cited. No carrier deals, pre-order windows or retail partnerships are mentioned. Notebookcheck’s testing found the A20 Pro outperforming Android SoCs even in graphics, a shift from prior years where GPU gaps were narrower.
The claim that Android’s elite ‘stands no chance’ is Notebookcheck’s verdict, not an industry consensus. Other outlets have not yet published benchmark data or reviews. Notebookcheck’s full results. Including GPU scores and thermal behavior, remain behind its paywall.
The A20 Pro is not listed in any regulatory filing or leak database referenced in the source. It is presented solely as the silicon inside the iPhone 18 Pro, as reviewed. Apple has not announced the iPhone 18 Pro. No official specs, marketing materials or press releases are cited.
The story is strictly about one outlet’s benchmark-based assessment. Published the same day this Hitechreports piece runs.
