As the launch date approaches, rather the presentation of the iPhone 8, there are more and more leaks of the different components that will be part of the terminal with which Apple wants to celebrate the 10 years of the launch of the first iPhone, an iPhone hit the market in 2007 in a very small number of countries.
The latest leak of some of the components of the iPhone 8 is related to the brain of the machine, the A11 processor, a processor manufactured by TSMC with a 10 nanometer technologys, technology that allows this processor to be much more efficient in terms of energy consumption in addition to offering a higher processing speed.
The A11 is being manufactured by TSMC, using 10 nanometer technology, by the 16 nanometer used to make the A10 chip which is currently inside the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. This processor will not only be faster than the A10, but it will also be faster than the A10X Fusion, the processor found inside the new iPad Pro that the company presented at the last Developer Conference held at the beginning of June and in which we could see some of the news that will come from the hand of the next versions of iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS.
According to Twitter user Ice Universe, the A11 chip ngives you a score of between 4300 and 4600 with a single core and between 7000 and 8500 in the Geekbench multi-core test. These data show us how using a single core, the A11 is twice as fast as the Galaxy S8, whose score is 1966. The Galaxy S8 in the multi-core test gives us a score of 6.502.
What is clear is that until the first terminals arrive on the market we will not be able to know exactly the performance figures that Geekbench offers us, since the numbers that Ice Universe has provided offer us little specific data, although indicative enough to know that the next iPhone will be more powerful than Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835, a processor that was presented at the end of last year but that It did not hit the market until March of this year.
