It was expected that there would be a wide playing field for Apple in the A17 Pro, the world’s first 3nm processor. It was thought that the company would achieve a significant upgrade in both single-core and multi-core workloads and strengthen its hand in efficiency. However, according to a new leak, this does not seem to be the case.A17 Pro not much faster than A16 Bionic
The biggest difference between the A17 Pro and A16 Bionic is actually seen in single-core results. However, overall there are single-digit gains. In samples identified as iPhone16.1 in Geekbench 6, whose features overlap with the iPhone 15 Pro models, the A17 Pro manages to achieve only 2,914 and 7,199 in single-core and multi-core results.
In the same test, the A16 Bionic processor – which is used in the iPhone 14 Pros and the new iPhone 15/15Plus – scores 2,644 and 7,073 points, respectively. Compared to the A16 Bionic, the A17 Pro only outperforms its predecessor by 10 percent in single-core results, while recording a single-digit difference in the multi-core stage.Of course, it is quite difficult to draw a definitive conclusion from here. More clear information on this subject will emerge in independent iPhone 15 reviews. Because Apple may have focused on battery life rather than performance. Even if this is the case, Apple emphasizes that the battery life of the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the same in its official product descriptions. Therefore, it is interesting that the pure gains achieved in the transition to 3nm are so low. Until more concrete information comes out, it would be better to be a little skeptical for now.
