The iPhone 15 Pro and its older brother, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, will introduce the new Apple A17 SoC, a next-generation chip that promises a significant leap compared to the Apple A16, both in terms of performance, consumption and efficiency. . In this sense, it should be noted that acceptance TSMC 3nm node It will be necessary to achieve such a significant development.

The truth is that we had doubts about the possible configuration of this new chip at the CPU and GPU level, but thanks to a recent leak, we have an interesting piece of information that allowed us to get to know it a little more closely. The Apple A17 will have a processor of 6 cores divided into two blockshigh performance with two cores and high efficiency with four cores.

Apple will use new architecture in both blocks of cores to improve performance and it is likely that the operating frequency will increase slightly, which would ultimately mean performance increase a single thread and this will also allow the performance of multiple threads to be increased by accumulation.

We don’t have any concrete details on the level of performance improvement we can expect, but we’re most likely talking about a double-digit jump. As for the GPU, the Apple A17 will have a solution customized by Apple with a total six graphics cores. In comparison, the Apple A16 SoC GPU has five graphics cores, so we can expect a performance improvement in this case should be around 20%approximately.

The apple company will attach a total of 6 GB of RAM to this new SoC. It was rumored that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max could jump to an 8GB RAM configuration, but According to the latest information, the Cupertino giant will retain 6 GB of RAM.

It’s something that’s not confirmed and makes sense at first glance because, as many of our readers know, Apple tends to increase the amount of RAM a lot in its mobile devices. However, in this case, I think the jump to the 8GB RAM configuration should already have happened, at least for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, because Apple uses 6GB RAM configurations from the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max.

The presentation of the iPhone will take place on the 15th 13th of Septemberand are expected to be available from the 22nd of the same month. Prices have not yet been announced, but Apple is said to increase the price of the standard and plus model by between 50 and 100 euros, and the price of the Pro and Pro Max models could rise between 100 and 200 euros. It will theoretically have a chassis made of titanium.
