Apple made exciting announcements within the scope of the Wonderlust event, which started recently. We can say that the most important of these are the brand’s most powerful phones, iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. So what does Apple A17 Bionic, which powers both models, offer? Let’s take a look together.Performance and efficiency come together ⚡️
A17 Bionic, which powers the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models, will be the first chip built on a new node after a long break. In this context, we can say that the new processor is the most powerful chipset Apple has produced for smartphones. So much so that Apple has managed to achieve significant improvements in terms of both battery and performance.
- Transistor: 19 billion transistors
- Neural Engine: 16 cores
- Number of CPU cores: 6 cores
- Performance core: 2 pieces
- Efficiency Core: 4 units
- Number of GPU cores: 6 cores
- Production Technology: TSMC3nm
- 5G modem: Qualcomm X65
On paper, the Apple A17 Bionic contains 19 billion transistors on a larger die than the A16 processor. Let us remind you that Apple A16 has 16 billion transistors. In addition, the processor paired with a 16-core neural processing unit (up to 35 trillion operations per second), 2 performance and 4 efficiency cores is accompanied by a 6-core GPU. It should also be noted that this unit has AI and ray tracing capabilities.The fastest processor in a smartphone 📱
According to Apple, the A17 Bionic will have 20 percent higher performance and up to 35 percent more efficiency compared to its predecessor. Of course, it is worth noting that TSMC’s advanced 3nm fabrication process is behind this. Niketim Apple A17 Bionic is one of the first fruits of this process. Therefore, with increasing efficiency, there will be a great improvement in battery life.
Another standout component is the image signal processor. This processor, combined with all units, can handle high-end camera operations.This enables a better experience in computational photography features such as advanced image editing, portrait mode and night mode. Let us remind you that although Apple A16 Bionic first appeared in the iPhone 14 Pro series, it will also be included in the iPad family in the near future.
