Twitter profile “Ice Universe” has posted mobile CPU bench scores in which the following mobile CPUs are compared: Apple A12, SnapDragon 855, Kirin 980. In what seems to be GeekBench Scores, the results are highly interesting, to say the least. The Apple A12 Bionic chip has come on top in the Geek Bench scores proving itself to be the most powerful smartphone CPU currently in the market.
When Apple released its latest iteration of iPhones, they announced that have implemented their newest A12 Bionic chip into the smartphone and claimed that it’s their fastest CPU ever. It appears that that statement may not have been a mere claim as the CPU does score significantly higher than the competition.
