Apple’s A18 Pro Obtains Respectable Double-Digit Multi-Core Gains Over The A17 Pro; New SoC Is Unmatched In Single-Core Department

Apple’s iPhone 16 range is rumored to arrive with multiple hardware upgrades to boost its AI capabilities. However, analysts are still skeptical of the launch, predicting that a limited artificial intelligence features set is expected to arrive later this year. However, for those who have intended to skip a purchase in 2024, 2025 has some notable internal changes arriving with the iPhone 17 lineup, likely boosting its AI-related functionality. Let us take a look at more details here.

As rumors pick up the pace around Huawei and its upcoming P70 series, so do the claims that the former Chinese giant is developing a flagship Kirin chipset. One tipster talks about this in a new post but fails to mention other important details. Regardless, there are a heap of earlier reports that talk about the same silicon, which will allow us to get to the bottom of this rumor.

The A18 Pro will likely serve as the successor to the A17 Pro and is expected to exclusively power the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which are said to launch later this year. Though we have reported that the SoC will sport a 6-core GPU, which may not translate into graphical performance improvements, we never got around to the CPU cluster, as that information was not available then, and we made our own assumptions. However, one tipster claims that the core configuration will remain unchanged compared to Apple’s previous A-series chipsets, potentially meaning that we may not witness a noteworthy difference between the two silicon generations.

60 FPS. It’s the thing gamers want in their video games, but developers are not always able to deliver. Many gamers were sold on the idea that the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 could run games at 60 FPS. As things stand in the current console generation, most games are still on 30 FPS, and those games that do run at 60 FPS, compromise on resolution and some image enhancements to get there.

As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2025, fans eagerly speculate about how the game will perform on next-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. With the recent leak of the rumored PS5 Pro's specs, excitement has peaked, raising questions about whether the upgraded console will offer an enhanced gaming experience for GTA 6 enthusiasts.

Even though the launch of the iPhone 16 series is nearly 6 months away, leaks have already started surfacing. In recent months, reports have come out suggesting several features of the smartphone, including a tweaked design, new chip, and better cameras. Now, it is being suggested that the iPhone 16 Pro may also get a fresh coat of paint with two new colours reportedly being planned.
