iPhone 14 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Geekbench

The iPhone 14 Pro scored 1,874 on a single-core performance test while the Galaxy S23 Ultra only managed 1,480. The Galaxy S23 Ultra fell short of the iPhone 14 Pro by 21.02 percent. However, the gap narrowed done to 14.86 percent when it came to multi-core tests. Here, the Galaxy S23 Ultra scored 4,584 while the iPhone 14 Pro maintained its lead with a score of 5,384.
