This week we got our first look at the A14 processor that Apple plans to include in this fall's 12 iPhone models And while Apple was happy to talk about the A14's improved performance over the iPad with the A12 Bionic processor, it is not yet known how the A14 compares to last year's A13 Bionic chip

Benchmarks leaked from Antutu allegedly showing iPhone 12 Pro Max performance may help fill in some of the blanks; MySmartPrice has a 6GB RAM and 128GB storage running iOS 141 and 128GB of storage, and found leaked figures claiming to show a device running iOS 141 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage

According to the leaked information, the iPhone 12 Pro Max scored 572,333 in Antutu testing, which is 9% higher than the iPhone 11 Pro Max's result of 524,436 in the same test, according to MySmartPrice, iPhone 12 Pro Max's score will be the highest in iPhone history, which is to be expected given that it is a new model

When the iPad Air 4 debuted this week, Apple promised a 40% CPU improvement over the A12 Bionic and a 30% improvement in graphics Based on leaked Antutu results, at least, that improvement is more modest when compared to the A13 Bionic iPhone 12 Pro Max's CPU score is 17% higher than the iPhone 11 Pro Max and graphics are 4% better

In its report on the Antutu results, GSMArena speculates that Apple may have prioritized battery consumption over performance in the A14, which could explain the modest increase in CPU and GPU results It is also possible that this is a pre-production model that has not yet been optimized for final release

GSMArena notes that while the iPhone 12 Pro Max's reported Antutu resorts are not comparable to those seen from phones powered by the Snapdragon 865 Plus, Antutu is not the best benchmark for comparing cross-platform results not - something Antutu itself admits - and adds

The A14 Bionic is a 5-nanometer chipset, which should provide better performance and power efficiency than 7-nanometer processors like the A12 and A13 What specific performance improvements can be expected will be known once Apple announces the iPhone 12
