Apple's A17 Pro Chip Brings Desktop-Class Performance to iPhone 15 Pro
-
Apple's A17 Pro SoC in the new iPhone 15 Pro has impressive single-core performance, scoring within 10% of AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X and Intel's Core i9-13900K desktop CPUs in Geekbench.
-
However, the A17 Pro operates at a much lower frequency than the desktop chips and can't match their multi-core performance due to having only 6 cores vs 16+ cores.
-
The A17 Pro soundly beats Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in both single and multi-core performance in Geekbench.
-
Apple claims the A17 Pro GPU brings up to 4X faster ray tracing compared to software ray tracing on the previous A16 Bionic.
-
The powerful A17 Pro enables native gameplay of current PC/console titles like Assassin's Creed Mirage and Resident Evil 4 Remake on the iPhone 15 Pro.
