Apple never ceases to amaze with its Ax mobile chips. Because if there is one point in the smartphone market that cannot be called into question regarding Apple, it is the CPU power of its smartphones.
With each new generation, the Cupertino company pushes the limits of its in-house mobile processors a little further. And for the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, equipped with the latest A13 iteration, this is the case, once again.
Our colleagues from AnandTech, a site recognized for its extensive and comprehensive tests, noticed this during their study of the latest iPhone 11 and 11 Pro. They dissected this A13 chip and analyzed it from every angle. They then realized several things.
At the top of the mobile market
On the one hand, the A13 chip provides 20% more power compared to the previous generation A12. In addition, the performance of the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro smartphones mercilessly crushes that of competing smartphones, with in some cases a benchmark score doubled for Apple devices compared to their pursuers.

There is no case seeing the figures, in the context of different tasks carried out with the A13 chip and the chips of competing smartphones. AnandTech clearly shows that in all the tests carried out, the A13 chip is far ahead of the others. In particular, it is regularly twice as fast as the poor Snapdragon 855 chip, which equips high-end smartphones from competing brands: Samsung Galaxy S10 and Note 10, Sony Xperia 1, but alsoGoogle Pixel 4.

Very close to AMD and Intel desktop processors
In addition, Apple's A13 processor can even boast of being behind the scores of certain AMD and Intel desktop PC chips, and not the least. In the comparison, the high-end Intel Core 9900K and AMD Ryzen 3900X Zen2 processors are used. They remain ahead of all mobile chips. But in some cases, the chip in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro isn't far behind.

The iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are therefore monsters of power, crushing the competition in this area. Of course, that doesn't make them the best smartphones on the market. But if you are looking for the terminals best placed for speed of video processing, video games and other heavy tasks, or simply to guarantee comfortable power over several years, the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro are the references of the moment.
It is also rumored that the iPhone SE 2 planned for 2020 could also integrate an A13 chip. This would allow smaller stock exchanges to also benefit, the terminal being expected fora price around 400 to 500 euros.
