Apple A18: specifications

Performance score

Apple A18 scores 32.38 out of 100 by our estimate and ranks #11 of 64 CPUs in our database.

The score is our own estimate from the specs (cores, threads, clocks, architecture generation), not a benchmark run. 100 = the fastest CPU in our database. A phone without a fan drops its clocks under long load, so in long tasks (hours of gaming, video) it will be slower than the number shows.
