A European Xperia 1 VIII (model XQ-GE54) has surfaced on Geekbench with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Adreno 840 GPU, but appears to ship with 12GB RAM. Geekbench scores are around 2,325 (single-core) and 9,217 (multi-core). Sony hasn’t commented yet, though UK listings (sometimes bundled with WH-1000XM6 headphones) hint at a forthcoming launch but offer no official confirmation.
AMD’s Medusa Point APU (Zen 6) shows promising Geekbench v6 results with a 10-core/20-thread engineering sample delivering about 2,300 single-core and 13,002 multi-core scores at a base 2.4 GHz (actual ~2.0–2.1 GHz). Surprisingly, it matches a Strix Point APU running at more than double its clock speed, with slightly lower single-core but higher multicore performance. The data suggests IPC gains and possible FP16/AVX-VNNI acceleration, though final performance will depend on later benchmarks; official launch is expected around CES 2027.
Apple's low-cost iPhone 17e with the A19 chip outperforms the budget MacBook Neo powered by the A18 Pro in Geekbench CPU benchmarks, while GPU scores are similar. Both devices have 8GB RAM; the Neo is Apple’s first A-series Mac, raising questions about its macOS performance and market fit.
Geekbench 6 benchmarks show the iPhone 17e uses the A19 chip and posts nearly identical multi-core CPU scores to the iPhone 17 (9,241 vs 9,249), but with a 4-core GPU resulting in lower graphics performance (roughly 31k–31.5k Metal scores vs ~37k on the iPhone 17); the 17e adds MagSafe, a second-gen C1X modem, and 256GB base storage, starts at $599, with pre-orders beginning March 4 and the launch on March 11.
Geekbench 6 results show the MacBook Air with the 10-core M5 chip scoring 17,073 in multi-core, about 15% faster than the M4 Air (14,731); the gain aligns with Apple’s claims and places the M5 Air ahead of the older M3 Pro MacBook Pro by up to 16%, though it remains slower than some M4 Pro/newer Pro models. The M5 MacBook Air is available to pre-order now and launches March 11.
Apple's MacBook Neo, powered by the A18 Pro from the iPhone 16 Pro, posts Geekbench single-core 3,461 and multi-core 8,668, closely mirroring iPhone 16 Pro performance; its Metal score of 31,286 trails the M1 MacBook Air's 31,912, implying similar real‑world performance. Priced at $599 for 256GB (or $699 for 512GB with Touch ID), it ships March 11 and is pitched as a low‑cost MacBook Air replacement with some premium features omitted.
The 18‑core M5 Max inside a 16‑inch MacBook Pro posted Geekbench 6 multi‑core score of 29,233, the highest ever for Apple silicon and faster than the Mac Studio’s M3 Ultra and M4 Max; single‑core score reached 4,268; GPU Metal scores around 218,772–232,718—roughly 5–10% below the M3 Ultra’s average but above the M4 Max. Apple claims up to 15% CPU and 20% GPU gains versus the M4 Max; pre-orders are live and units begin shipping March 11.
Geekbench results for the 13-inch M4 iPad Air (Wi‑Fi + Cellular) show about a 17.3% improvement in single‑core and 7.9% in multi‑core CPU performance over the M3 iPad Air, with scores around 3438/3714 (test pairs) and 12885/12296 (multi, averaged to 3576 single‑core and 12591 multi‑core). The M4 iPad Air uses an 8‑core CPU (3 performance + 5 efficiency) and a 9‑core GPU, and while it outpaces the M3, it trails the M4 iPad Pro, which posts 3704 single‑core and 13805 multi‑core. The new model is available for pre‑order at 6:15 a.m. PT tomorrow, with a March 11 launch.
Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, posts top Geekbench scores (single-core 3,852; multi-core 11,738), beating the iPhone 17 Pro Max (3,792 / 9,831) and the Exynos 2600 (3,336 / 11,369) in regional variants, signaling a Snapdragon-driven performance edge for Samsung's latest flagships, though Exynos remains in play on some markets with a 2nm process.
Geekbench results show a Galaxy S26 Ultra with an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (up to 4.74 GHz) posting 3,601 (single-core) and 10,686 (multi-core). The Exynos 2600 scores 3,336 / 11,369, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max with the A19 Pro posts 3,775 / 9,749. In these tests, the Snapdragon edges the iPhone on multi-core but trails it on single-core, while Exynos leads in multi-core. Final device specs and performance may vary at launch; Galaxy Unpacked is rumored for Feb 25.
Samsung's upcoming Exynos 2700 has appeared in Geekbench 6 with a distinctive 4+1+4+1 deca-core cluster on an ERD device, reportedly mixing next-gen and older cores to test scheduler and architecture, with an OpenCL score below the Exynos 2600 as development continues toward 2nm GAA fabrication and competing with Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 Pro.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra (SM-S948) and Galaxy S26 (SM-S942) surfaced on Geekbench with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 12GB RAM, Adreno 840 GPU, and Android 16. The Ultra shows slightly underclocked high- and mid-core clocks (4.19GHz / 3.63GHz) while the regular S26 runs a mildly overclocked setup (4.74GHz / 3.63GHz); performance on Geekbench is similar. A Feb. 25 launch in San Francisco is teased, with S26+ battery certification recently appearing in tests.
The Exynos 2600, a 2nm Samsung processor with GAA transistors and a deca-core CPU, reportedly benchmarks at Apple M5 levels, indicating a significant performance leap that could position it as a top-tier smartphone chip, especially if the leaked Geekbench scores are accurate. This marks a notable improvement for Samsung's Exynos line, potentially rivaling Apple's M5 and outperforming the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in benchmarks.
Leaked benchmarks suggest that the upcoming M5 iPad Pro and M5 MacBook Air will see significant performance improvements over their predecessors, with the MacBook Air potentially outperforming some higher-end MacBook Pro models, indicating a notable upgrade for users.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has appeared on Geekbench with key specs including a Tensor G5 SoC, 16GB RAM, and Android 16, indicating upcoming release alongside other Pixel 10 series models on August 20. Its benchmark scores suggest performance improvements over previous models, though still below Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered phones.
