So we can see the Apple chip does (slightly) better in single-core performance only. We already knew this. (SD consistently beats Axx every single year in multi-core performance.) Also, these are merely preliminary Snapdragon numbers in a test device compared to a real-world iPhone 18 Pro Max with A20 Pro inside. Meaning, the Snapdragon can only be improved further after manufacturing tweaks. This gap will widen.
@TuGa121, I can see why you would want to compare the A20 Pro, to last year's 8 Elite Gen 5. (Instead of it's actual competitor, the Elite Extreme 6 released less than 2 weeks after the A20.)
I got my SD numbers from this article, and A20 from Mashable.com

Yeah, it'll be interesting to benchmark the actual phones when they get released. Although I assume there won't be much of a difference between them and the reference design. Probably it'll be the Galaxy S27 Ultra and gaming phones like the next RedMagic flagship that will take the Gen 6 to the extreme.
You get that these are just prototype numbers, right? It’s like when Samsung leaks specs and the final device ends up scoring way lower—I mean way lower—you get that, right? Neither my Fold 7 nor my Fold 8 Ultra scored anywhere close to those leaked numbers.
Yes, I specifically called it out that they are not production numbers in the SD. It's a test device so individual manufacturers will optimize and get better results. (Not worse.) Any time the preliminary results get posted, Xiaomi, OnePlus, etc always get way better. I have no idea why your Samsung got worse after release, that sounds like a Sammy problem.
The iPhone 18 was tested in its final configuration. Those numbers won't move.
I’ve checked these figures against Apple, Samsung, and ASUS devices, and Apple seems to be the only one consistently scoring higher than the numbers posted here on PhoneArena. For what it's worth, my own iPhone 18 Pro Max is actually outperforming these benchmarks. The scores on my Fold 8 Ultra are nowhere near what is posted on PhoneArena. We all know how Samsung has been caught boosting benchmark results in the past, so these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt my z fold 8 ultra numbers are no where near where they claim.
Geekbench can't bear watching the A19 Pro beaten by 8 Elite Gen 5, so they need to save Apple with Geekbench 7 and just like that the goal post moved again
