EDIT: downvoters in denial. They get better synthetic Geekbench numbers compared to some of the latest desktop x86 processors ("beats" 7950X and "meets" 9950X), but get absolutely smoked by those same processors in real use. Maybe your only use of a computer is running Geekbench idk.

Where the heck are you getting these results from because there's absolutely no way these results are real. The M5 Max doesn't even get anywhere near the 9950X much less the A18 Pro.

Honestly, do people actually treat geekbench results with anything more than a pinch of salt outside of mobile? I thought people at least use Cinebench for this.

I'd guess the downvoters do. The apple fanboys really trying hard to convince themselves that their phone is faster than a 9950X 😂 they'll cling to anything that feeds the delusion

Well this is the company that claimed to be on par with a 4090 after all...
