impertinent claims about the potential performance level of the iPhone 15 Pro have been made , and it ’s shaping up to be quite a bit faster in all but one way .
It does n’t take genius - grade foresight to predict that Apple ’s next gen smartphone business – or at least the iPhone 15 Pro models – will run on a next - gen Apple A17 Bionic chip . But what just will that seem like ?
Apple A17 – t8130 – Coll6 CPU nub + 6 GPU Cores3.70 GHz6 GB LPDDR5 DRAM – Micron / SamsungTSMC 3 nanometre ProcessLPDDR = Low Power Double Data Rate SDRAMThe A17 is used by both the D83 and D84 , also in all likelihood project for D47 and D48 ( 16 series ) , as the D9x will employ t8140 ( A18 ) .
According to Twitter tout URedditor ( via9to5Mac ) , the iPhone 15 Pro ’s A17 chip will boast six CPU core and six GPU cores . This would intend one superfluous GPU core compare to the iPhone 14 Pro and its A16 Bionic .
What ’s more , a claimed peak clock stop number of 3.70GHz would trump the A16 Bionic and its 3.46GHz .
The A17 Bionic microprocessor chip is also await to see Apple switch to a 3 nm fabrication mental process , which should prove more energy effective than the 4 nm standard of the A16 Bionic .
Another interesting performance - bear on tip here is that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will run on 6 GB of RAM . That would be just the same as the current iPhone 14 Pro line , and would be less than the previously rumoured 8 GB allotment .
In a subsequent follow up military post , the tipster take that “ 8 GB seems unlikely ( but possibly not unacceptable ) ” .
As with the current models , Apple will only be fetch this true next - gen chip to the Pro range . Apparently , the obviously old iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will pass on the current A16 Bionic powering the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max .
late rumours have advise that Apple will announce the iPhone 15 range of mountains at a special event onSeptember 13 , so we should n’t have long to expect for confirmation .
