Apple’s new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are far and away the most powerful smartphones the world has seen thus far. In terms of both raw benchmark test scores on paper and real-world performance, Apple’s latest mobile devices outshine every other phone on the market. In fact, they’re even more powerful than Apple’s latest iPad Pro tablets, which is no small feat.
As powerful as they already are though, Apple is constantly working on next-generation products, looking to make them better and faster than their predecessors. Now, it looks like benchmark tests from Apple’s next-gen processor have leaked, revealing huge performance gains that are somehow even more impressive than what we just saw from the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
DON’T MISS: iPhone 7 vs. Galaxy S7 blind camera test: Guess which model hardcore Apple fans picked
Dutch gadget blog Techtastic points us to a potentially huge leak sourced on Weibo, where an anonymous user with a solid track record has published what he claims are Geekbench benchmark test scores from Apple’s A10X. The next-gen chip has not yet been revealed by Apple, but it will presumably power the company’s upcoming new iPad Pro tablets expected to be released early next year.
As a refresher, the iPhone 7’s new A10 Fusion chipset manages impressive scores of 3490 in single-core Geekbench tests and 5580 in multi-core tests. How does the A10X compare? According to this leak, Apple’s upcoming A10X scored 4236 on Geekbench’s single-core test and a ridiculous 6588 on the multi-core test. Those numbers would be off the charts if Techtastic hadn’t charted them (click to enlarge):
One last note: Beyond showing us how impressive Apple’s next-gen A10X chip seemingly is, one can follow the curve to get a good idea of just how incredibly powerful the A11 Fusion chip that powers next year’s iPhone 8 will likely be.
You do good and your efforts are appreciated.

Probably yes, if you play it responsibly and don't do it in heavy traffic.
Probably not a good idea to play on 50 and Bradshaw at rush hour, huh?
With more than 13,000 votes tallied, can you guess which camera these Apple enthusiasts picked as the winner? If you surmised by now that they didn’t pick the iPhone, you’re correct — Samsung’s Galaxy S7 camera ended up coming out on top.
Interesting! This is from the link to photo testing in the middle of your post. So the Samsung S7 camera is better than the iPhone camera, after a survey of iPhone users. So the S7 has the better camera, too!
It will always be 50 to 100 years in the future.
I attended an AI session at Dreamforce in San Francisco today. They panel said it’s 50 to 100 years away.
Salesforce is building AI into all of their products now. Remains to be seen if it actually does anything useful.
I carry an iPhone for work, an Android for personal. I carry one set of Apple buds because they work the best for call quality and volume control on the iPhone while still working well on my android (less the volume control). However, they do not hold up well over time. I can show you receipts for replacement buds but not sure you’ll believe me or care.
Thanks
Thanks for the pings Sword...
People always go for the overly saturated colors, thinking that's what makes a good photograph. It doesn't.
If people like it, then why isn't it good? Photography, art in general, is preference based. If it's not the "most realistic" but it's what people prefer, then that is "correct".
Perception and preference are subjective things - and in the big scheme of things, that's what matters.
Try the Klipsch, they’re nice.
Good call.
Also the AKG K 376. IF they fit you, they actually sound pretty good and are quite robust.
I have a pair of Klipschs but they’re too long and snag easier, mic dangles lower (below my shirt neckline if I try to prevent it from snagging by routing the wire under my shirt) and controls are on the left side for some reason. And I get a lot of complaints about being able to hear me on the other end (even when the mic isn’t buried in my shirt).

Only if you actually buy one, which you won't.
LOL...It is you that is making all the noise. You’re being a fool.
I have the ICom for my hearing aids so the Doppler stays in my bag. Love the new “7”!
Probably. It's one of Apple's ways of generating profit for the entire ecosystem. I must say though, that the lightning connector is what a usb cable should be. Orientation shouldn't matter for these types of connectors. I would also note that the USB connector has seen many changes over the years as well.
