Apple A19 Pro breaks records with 4019 Geekbench single-core score, the highest in A-series history, powering the iPhone18,2 with unmatched per-core performance.
The benchmark listing shows the iPhone18,2 running iOS 26.0 with 11.34 GB of memory. The A19 Pro features a six-core architecture, clocked at a base frequency of 4.26 GHz, with two performance cores and four efficiency cores.
In multi-core tests, the A19 Pro reached 11054 points. While slightly trailing Samsung Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered Galaxy S24 Ultra and Exynos 2500 in overall multi-core scores, Apple’s single-core dominance remains unmatched in the mobile industry.
Compared to Samsung SM-S947U, which scored 3393 in single-core and 11515 in multi-core, the iPhone18,2 delivers 18 percent higher single-core performance but falls short in multi-core throughput. The same trend is seen against the Exynos 2500, where Apple leads single-core but trails slightly in multi-core.
The iPhone18,2’s cache design includes 128 KB L1 instruction cache, 64 KB L1 data cache, and a 6 MB L2 cache. This architecture, paired with advanced instruction sets, highlights Apple’s continued focus on maximizing per-core efficiency.
Geekbench data suggests that Apple is targeting unrivaled responsiveness and speed in real-world use, particularly benefiting tasks that rely on raw single-core power. This edge is expected to translate into faster app launches, smoother interface navigation, and improved gaming performance.
With the A19 Pro, Apple once again proves its mastery in CPU design, reinforcing its lead in single-threaded workloads and keeping the iPhone experience at the top tier of mobile performance.
