Apple A17 Pro GPU

Apple A17 Pro GPU

The Apple A17 Pro GPU is an integrated graphics card in the Apple A17 Pro SoCs (used in the 2023 Apple iPhone 17 Pro smartphones). According to Apple, the GPU is a big redesign compared to the previous generation and offers hardware accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading. The performance per core did not change much, but due to the additional core, the performance is up to 20% faster.

The A17 is produced in the new 3nm process at TSMC and should be very energy efficient.
