The new GPU has one more core It looks like the great and terrible Apple A17 Pro SoC, which Apple actively praised during the presentation of the new iPhones, is in fact only a slightly improved A16 Bionic. New GPU tests show that there is no miracle. Yes, the result in Geekbench is about 20% higher (27,158 points), as Apple itself said, but the catch is that the new GPU has six cores, while the GPU in the A16 Bionic has five cores.

Apple hasn't said anything about it, but it looks like the A17 Pro SoC [caption id="attachment_56253" align="aligncenter" width="404"] A17 Pro SoC[/caption] Let us remember that tests of the processor part also showed a slight increase in performance - and then only in single-threaded mode. Probably, the A17 Pro is in many ways the same A16 Bionic, but transferred to a new process technology and received one additional GPU core.

Maximum attention is paid to the GPU here Apple iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max smartphones are known to have received the A17 Pro SoC, and this is a very interesting platform that is currently unique on the market. It’s worth starting with the fact that this is the first mobile single-chip system and, apparently, the first consumer chip in general, which is produced using the 3 nm process technology at TSCM facilities. Previously, information appeared on the Internet that Apple had temporarily purchased all orders for this technical process. The A17 Pro SoC in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max […]

Maximum attention is paid to the GPU here Apple iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max smartphones are known to have received the A17 Pro SoC, and this is a very interesting platform that is currently unique on the market. [caption id="attachment_55472" align="alignnone" width="780"] A17 Pro SoC[/caption] It’s worth starting with the fact that this is the first mobile single-chip system and, apparently, the first consumer chip in general, which is produced using the 3 nm process technology at TSCM facilities. Previously, information appeared on the Internet that Apple had temporarily purchased all orders for this technical process. The A17 Pro SoC in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max is manufactured using a 3 nm process technology The SoC configuration includes only six processor cores: two productive and four energy-efficient. There is also a 16-core NPU and a new six-core GPU. The last one is especially important here. Apple says this is the largest GPU redesign in iPhone history. Compared to the GPU in the Apple A16 Bionic, the new one is 20% faster. But at the same time, it supports hardware acceleration of ray tracing, and MetalFX Upscaling technology allows you to relieve the graphics core. All this together is enough to run full-fledged computer games on the new iPhone Pro: Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Death Stranding, and Assassin's Creed Mirage! Yes, we have yet to evaluate the quality of graphics, resolution, etc., but this takes mobile gaming to previously unprecedented heights.
