As part of this ai initiative, it has allegedly given a boost to the handset’s neural engine.
iOS 18 brings better NPU Performance
According to a post By User @lafail on X (Formerly Twitter), An iPhone 15 Pro Max Running iOS 18 Scored 7,816 Points in the Geekbench Ml Score Test Compared to A Score of 6,249 on iOS 17.5.1. This translates into an approximately 25 percent better performance in the handset’s machine learning capability.
The coreml Neural Engine Infererance was tested in the Benchmarks which is responsible for the machine learning tasks on the handset, taking advantage of hardware such as the campu and the npu (or in Apple ‘ Neural engine). While an npu works along the same lines as a graphics processing unit (GPU), instead of accelerating the graphics, it boots the neural network operations.
iOS 18 is set to brings several notable upgrades to the iPhoneThe centers of which are the new ai capability that the company calls “Apple IntelligenceCourtesy of it, the update will bring system-with text-generation and summarisation capabilitys. The iPhone will also also support image generation with the help of a new app called image playground. Furthermore, Siri-Apple’s Voice Assistant-is also gotting smarter with on-screen awareness.
Compatibility
Notable, only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max Powered by the A17 Pro SOC will receive the new ai features across systems. Although apple has seeded the iOS 18 developer beta 1 update to users Around the World, Apple Intelligence features will be rolled out latel later this year and intily in english (us).
