As anticipation builds for Apple's forthcoming iPhone 15 launch, a significant revelation has emerged. While a huge number of leaks have revealed most of what is likely to be on the iPhone 15 Pro models, nothing much was known about the iPhone 15 Pro chip. That has just been changed by the latest leak about the A17 chipset.
A leakster has revealed details about the powerful next-generation A17 chip set that will power the iPhone 15 Pro models. This unveiling comes courtesy of the well-regarded Apple tipster, Unknownz21, who has unveiled an in-depth breakdown of the A17 chip, shedding light on its CPU and GPU configuration, clock speeds, and RAM specifications.
Unknownz21's insights reveal that the 6-core CPU within the A17 chip will consist of a combination of two high-performance cores and four energy-efficient cores. Additionally, the leaker notes that Apple has been testing both 6GB and 8GB RAM configurations for the A17 chip, with the final selection between the two options still remaining uncertain. These versions are labelled as "POP, COLL + 6G" and "POP, COLL + 8G" within the company's internal documentation, Forbes reported.
But what significance do these revelations carry? The implications could be substantial, potentially resulting in a significant performance boost accompanied by extended battery life—a highly sought-after combination for smartphone enthusiasts.
The shift to a 3nm fabrication process holds the key to these improvements. This advancement enables Apple to operate the A17 chips at higher speeds, lower temperatures, and with reduced power consumption compared to the previous 4nm A16. This advantage is exemplified by the A16's clock speed of 3.46GHz being outperformed by the A17's 3.7GHz.
