- Galaxy S22 Ultra – 3,433 scores (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1)
- Galaxy S22 (Exynos 2200) – roughly 3,000 (mid‑3000s)
In plain English: the iPhone’s brain is running a marathon while the Galaxy is doing a brisk jog.

iPhone 13 Pro Max vs. Samsung S22 Ultra: Who Wins the ML Marathon?
During a recent machine‑learning showdown, the iPhone 13 Pro Max outperformed its rivals with a hefty score of 948. By contrast, the Samsung S22 Ultra lagged behind at 448, roughly half the horsepower the Apple phone delivered.
Other Contenders in the Strip‑Down:
- Google Pixel 6 – a solid mid‑tier performer.
- Galaxy S21 Ultra – a worthy rival that still falls just shy of the 13 Pro Max’s machine‑learning muscle.
Apple is all set to roll out its next iPhone lineup this year, and the numbers suggest the brand is not backing down. The next generation is likely to keep squeezing more power out of its chip stacks, leaving competitors scrambling to keep pace.
