iPhone 11 benchmarks. Wow.
From Daring Fireball:
How fast is the A13 CPU? So fast that it beats every Mac available in Geekbench 5’s single-core benchmark. Now think about how fast the A13X will be in the next iPad Pros.
Comments
Welp, it is getting about that time for a phone upgrade for me
I don't think it'll be too long until Apple actually switches to many-core variants of their A* CPUs in their desktops and laptops? That'll probably mean an unreal performance / battery life boost there!
A12 is around 1100 single core ... that is not big difference.. considering iPhone 11 price it is totaly not worth the money
Oh and multicore performance (not that important for music apps but still) it's fail - A12x has score 4600 !!!
edit: ah sorry, my mistake, this is strange - geegbench uses differenr numbers for plain CPU benchmars and for whole iPhone with same CPU
It is to some.
The iPad “X” chips are historically even more powerful. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of multi core performance the next iPad pros will have.
I personally think that it’s downright incredible that the A13 can have such amazing performance that beats Every Mac in single core performance.
In a bloody phone for feck’s sake!
I feel a bit sorry for people that are jaded enough not to appreciate what’s possible in devices we keep in our’ pockets!. ;-) 😂
The increase in performance from the A12 is significant. Especially at a time that Intel have well and truly stalled and have tried to single handedly disprove Moor’s law
Apple get a lot of stick around here. Sometimes rightly so. But I think their processor division is doing truly remarkable things.
It is to me! My pro comes in today. My email is going to scroll unbeLIEVABLY fast!
I think the iPhone 11 is worth it just as a camera. As an amateur photographer I’m particularly stoked about the ultra wide angle lens.
I haven’t had an ultra wide since I sold my Nikon DSLR. (Actually that’s not entirely true as I have the 10-20 lens still, just no Nikon to bolt it to. ;-)
The iPhone ultra wide is even wider 13mm compared to 15mm (35mm equivalent focal length). That kind of ultra wide-ness can make for some amazing shots.
The iPhone 11 is, I’m sure, a huge upgrade over my current 7.
I actually thought the price on the iPhone 11 I would buy was decent. Without trade in $799, with trade in $699.
With all this power that iOS will be having, and the increase in traffic on this forum, it can only mean one thing, Developers will get paid and paid handsomely (they claim to not) in the near future.. Just hope they don’t get fat and lazy like those desktop developers (they don’t even have probability on their DAWs yet... been begging for 10 years, thank you very much).
Anyway, please don’t forget us simple folk... 😇
Edit... $500.00 for a synth.... yeah right..
I’m debating getting iPhone 11 or keeping my iPhone 6. It’s a hard choice. I don’t really use iPhone for music, but I could set up some CPU intensive apps and just bridge the audio over to my iPad with iConnectAudio. Really, I could just use a better camera and I can’t update my damn watch anymore with an iPhone 6. I just don’t feel like spending $700-750 on a phone.
I plan to get an iPhone 11 soon. Not the Pro version, because I don't need that super telephoto camera thingamabob, and don't care for the colour selections. The reason is, my iPhone SE's battery is progressively getting worse.
Sure but just was until someone loads 4-5 "Model 15" AU synths in any DAW and they want their money back. "It's broken". Or they find out their essential DAW won't run on an iPhone.
Benchmarks mean very little when you really need a desktop computer. They do make lousy
phones, IMHO.
Mail is SCREAMING on my iPhone Pro, sir. Who cares how many Model 15’s I can run when I can not read 30K emails with blazing speed?!
Im still amazed that any phone can run any model 15s at all.
They are yeah. Would be great to see a Mac Mini with an A14x or whatever.
As for the phones, 11 Pros are a bit much but the 11 is a peach. I returned my Pro after I compared it to the screens of my iPad and 8+ and thought “wow, all that talk about oled screens being a million times better than LCD was bullshit after all”.
you should be able to run 6 instances of Model 15 running various arpeggio presets on iPhone XS (A12 cpu) .. i'm getting aroud 76% CPU load with buffer size 512 at 48khz sample rate with 6 instances on iPad MINI 5 (which has A12 cpu too)
I should test my iPad 2018. I might consider a new iPhone for the camera's especially after
IOS 13 adds support for SD Cards. I put IOS 13 on my iPhone SE and played with the new files support on an SD. It will be great for moving large videos around for sharing, editing and archiving.
But can it core a apple?
Its not worth the money, only for people who can’t afford it anyway.
The iphone is a brilliant phone, that is fast, has great screen, longlevity, continous updates for many many years, an incredible camera,... and oh yes, the appstore, which has affordable professionall music apps..
For me ist worth every bit of money...
Too bad most people will be wasting that power on texting about their dogs. Also to s how how high of a status they think they have but do not because they are now broke after buying that phone.
I am not talkin about the fine folks in this forum 😃
I suppose that many games, which are likely the most popular app category on the App Store, will make full use of all that power.
There are quite a few reports of A13 overheating and scaling back. These cpu's seem to need more cooling.
btw rendering 4k movies in iMovie with the new iPhones 11 (Pro) is still still slower than on an iPhone SE (A9). So an extreme powerfull cpu/gpu doesn't mean anthing if the software isn't optimized. Apple really needs to optimize it.
It does NOT mean a thing! iOS music apps mostly incapable of utilizing Apple processors.
Let my loss be your gain.
I learned it by buying iPad Pro 2018.
Those benchmarks almost never applicable to music apps. Do not buy “pro” models.
Believe i'm not in that category :-))) Which doesn't change anything on fact that just in terms of CPU power it is not worth the price compared to older models...
Of course camera is amazing, but again - i was talking only about CPU power
It’s a very interesting test, though not very indicative of practical use.
I can run 7 instances of random simple arp presets in Moog Model 15 (with no fx plugins) on my iPad Pro 2018.
Would be interested in other people’s results, especially older models.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing even close to an average desktop DAW for iOS.
Cubasis is a joke compared to Cubase. And basically the same goes for any of them.
Was reading in the midiRack thread where a user said he gets better performance of that app on iOS that his Mac..
I am not giving up my Sonar on Desktop for mixing.. but, In think a lot will happen in iOS-land by now and Xmas..
those benchmarks are both single core and multicore and they show pretty accurately relativw performance sifferences between cpu generations ...
It is pute fact, if you like it or don't like it it will not change it...
Do you mean miRack? It’s nothing like a DAW, it’s a Eurorack modular synth emulation.
Very promising app, I’d even say one of the best for iOS, but still missing many modules VCV rack has (of which it was branched of) .
