iPhone 14 Pro Over 20% Faster Than Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in Benchmarks

[Matsamoto]

As for many of you already said; phones are so fast nowadays, so most of us hardly don't notice the speed improvement from one year to the next.
Maybe if you doing movie or image editing, and maybe if you want to get 120fps in GI and similar games.

My current iphone is a 12 PM and its still incredibly fast.
I can play every game in the app store with high graphics and a good and stable framerate🙂
Not in 120 fps ( the 12 don't support pro motion🙂),but easy 60.

I don’t think 20% are relevant. But it is very important that you can use the S23 Ultra in Desktop Mode (external Monitor, mouse, keyboard). And there is a useable pen.
In combination with the far superior camera the S23 Ultra alone is much more capable then the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
But Integration into the ecosystem is an other point.

Very impressive! Kudos to Apple hardware engineers!
With all of this processing capability we should expect a robust Siri now right? 😳

Benchmarks are irrelevant, it's all about usability.

In the absence of being able to try the devices ourselves, benchmarks provide a useful proxy for usability

You think Siri is a HW problem?

From the number you given, the iPhone 14 Pro is 26% faster than the Samsung, not 21% (single core).
On the contrary, the Samsung is 21% slower of the iPhone.
Slow/Fast percentage are not symmetric.

Why do a comparison if people tell me on here that the CPUs are already too powerful, so it shouldn’t matter right?

When apple didn’t lead everyone here preach how specs are garbage. Real world is what counts.

Now that Apple leads. That argument has disappeared. It’s all about specs now

 

[jonnysods]

Look at that iPhone 13 Mini holding her own! Makes me proud!

 

[KindJamz]

The same people here saying benchmarks are irrelevant are probably trying to get an extra 2% on a benchmark test by overclocking their PC 😂

The same people who preached not being spec whores changed their outlook quick when Apple took over 1st place.

 

[GuruZac]

All that performance to open up apps the same or slower than the Samsung…

On a serious note, the best part of the performance of iPhones is the performance over time. Lots of headroom.

 

[T Coma]

Since I primarily use my phone for running benchmarking apps, this news will help considerably while deciding on an unnecessary replacement for my current device, which still performs all other tasks perfectly well - other than benchmarking, I mean.

J/k. I’ll actually continue to use this one until it breaks.

Good thing Apple stomps samedung in both categories.

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

SD8 Gen 2 was released in 2022, it's a 2023 phone but with last year's SoC.

When most of “last year’s” Chinese phones don’t make it to the US or global markets and the current generation Space Heater chipset is what’s available to use, your point becomes kind of moot.

 

[CausticSoda]

Forget benchmarks etc. The look of that thing is, to my eyes, hideous. I don't know why, but was just "No at first sight". (And no, I am not some crazed Apple fanboy who slags off Samsung at every opportunity).

Qualcomm progress is actually impressing considering the last few years.

They should do something for Windows use.

 

[anthogag]

Samsung should stop using the name “Ultra”. Samsung S23 Sucks is more like it.

 

[srknpower]

Samsung is catching up. The difference used to be much more. GPU performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy is even better than A16. Samsung also made a dream team working on a next-gen Exynos which will debut in 2025.

 

[chucker23n1]

Since nobody has mentioned it, and the benchmark is from Geekbench, it should be pointed out that many Samsung devices are banned from Geekbench for benchmark manipulation.

 

[solq]

I think my 11 Pro is fast enough for anything I do with it... These benchmarks are incredibly irelevant, it's like comparing a car that can do 2000mph vs one that can do 2200mph, with a speed limit of 55.

 

[d686546s]

Once again 2022 iPhone vs 2023 Samsung. Every year I ask what the point is? The comparison should only be 2023 model iPhone vs 2023 Samsung model. 🤦‍♂️

Clearly thats going to be above the 20%.

The iPhone 14 was announced in mid-September 2022 and some models didn't become available until October. The S23 came out in January 2023.

They are the same cohort, more so than a phone that will not even be announced until September 2023 at least.

 

[NEPOBABY]

Stock Android S23 would have crushed the iPhone’s

Stock makes no difference. These benchmarks perform compute tasks irrelevant of the OS and other apps. They do not get in the way.

 

[NEPOBABY]

Why does speed matter? As long as UI is snappy no one cares, or is someone rendering stuff and editing video files on his phone? No one notices if the phone has a two digit increase in the geek bench score.

Speed matters for productivity tasks and future proofing.

Holy mother of Earth I can’t believe anyone needs that explaining.

Are there salty Samsung reps on this board? 😂

 

[Sciomar]

Sucks to suck. At least Samsung makes nice screens!

 

[Radon87000]

I have both iPhone 14 Pro Max and an S22 Ultra and pre-ordered S23 Ultra. In the real world the Samsung feels faster to use because of the snappy animations.

You think Siri is a HW problem?

Nope. That’s the point. The hardware side is doing well. So the software side has no excuses.
