- The iPhone 15 Pro is set to feature a new A17 Bionic chip manufactured with a 3nm fabrication process.
- The A17 Bionic chip will feature a 6-core CPU and 6-core GPU, as well as a maximum clock speed of 3.70 GHz.
- Rumors suggest that this chip will be paired with 6GB of RAM, countering earlier rumors of 8GB.
The new specs for the iPhone 15 Pro have been revealed, and they are sure to leave Apple fans excited. According to a new rumor posted to Twitter, the upcoming A17 Bionic chip will feature a 6-core CPU and a 6-core GPU, as well as a maximum clock speed of 3.70 GHz. This is an increase from the A16 chip, which currently has a 6-core CPU and 6-core GPU, as well as a maximum clock speed of 3.46 GHz.
However, rumors suggest that the A17 Bionic chip will only be paired with 6GB of RAM, matching the A16 Bionic chip and counteracting earlier rumors of 8GB. This Twitter leaker said that they’ve “only seen 6GB so far” and notes that 8GB of RAM seems “unlikely, but maybe not impossible.”
The combination of the increased maximum clock speed, the extra GPU core, and the new 3nm fabrication process should lead to notable improvements in performance and efficiency for the iPhone 15 Pro. However, Apple may strike its own balance between efficiency and performance improvements, focusing more heavily on one or the other depending on their goals.
