"ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro Outperforms Apple's A17 with New Design and 12W Wireless Charging"
ASUS has teased the multi-core performance of its upcoming ROG Phone 8 Pro, boasting a Geekbench 6 score that surpasses Apple's A17 Pro chip found in the iPhone 15 Pro models. While the company did not disclose the single-core score, which typically favors Apple's chips, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered ROG Phone 8 Pro's multi-core score of 7,422 is attributed to its 8-core CPU and likely robust cooling system. Skepticism remains, however, as real-world performance and thermal management will be the true test of whether the gaming phone can consistently outperform Apple's offering.
