The Apple iPhone 7 may have just been unveiled, but the phone has already set a record score of 178,397 on AnTuTu. The benchmarking website posted the score on its Weibo account. Such a high score could be attributed to the new quad-core A10 Fusion chip that the phone comes with. By comparison, the company's previous flagship, the iPhone 6s, which is powered by a dual-core A9 SoC scored about 133,781.
This comes just a week after AnTuTu had posted its list of top ten performance smartphones for the month of August. As per that list, the top performer was the OnePlus 3, with a score of 140,288. The OnePlus 3 is powered by a Qualcomm’s flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 820, which features a quad-core setup with the company’s own Kryo cores. Further, the OnePlus also offered 6GB of RAM. The iPhone 7’s primary competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was placed at the seventh spot with a score of 134,599.
It should be noted that this seems to be the score for the standard iPhone 7, and not the iPhone 7 Plus. The new larger iPhone is tipped to offer 3GB of RAM instead of 2GB, and this shoudl help to score even more on benchmark tests.
