New Stats Prove iPhone 7 Is Twice as Fast as Any Android Smartphone

A new study by Geekbench has confirmed that Apple’s A10 Fusion processor series, used in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, is ridiculously fast. The A10 Fusion chip is twice as fast as any Android phone and faster than nearly every MacBook Air ever made. It was only barely edged out by the early 2015 MacBook Air.

“iPhone 7 is supercharged by the most powerful chip ever in a smartphone,” the Cupertino company boasts on its iPhone 7 website. “It’s not just faster than any previous iPhone — it’s also more efficient. That’s because the A10 Fusion chip uses an all-new architecture that enables faster processing when you need it, and the ability to use even less power when you don’t.

The iPhone 7 series, subjected to a battery of tests by GeekBench, outstripped the Android-powered competition handily and decisively. The performance gap was especially apparent in terms of single-core performance, where the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus scored 3,450. The closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S7, plods along at a comparably sluggish score of 1,806.

The iPhone 7 Series also topped the rankings in terms of multi-core performance, garnering a score of 5,630, though it did not blow the competition out of the water. Other leading Android smartphones were able to achieve comparable score, with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy Note 7 notching scores of 5,213 and 5,228 in multi-core performance, respectively.
