Apple A17 Pro

Apple A17 Pro

The Apple A17 Pro is a System on a Chip (SoC) from Apple that is found in the iPhone 15 Pro (2023) models. It offers 6 cores divided in two performance cores (up to 3.78 GHz) and four power-efficiency cores (up to 2.11 GHz). Thanks to the higher clock speed and improvements of the branch prediction and a wider design, the A17 is able to be around 10% to 15% faster than the A16 SoC.

The biggest improvement is the new integrated 6-core GPU with ray tracing and mesh shading support. Furthermore, the chip is now able to decode AV1 video in hardware and supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps). The Neural Engine still offers 16 cores, but should be up to twice as fast now.

The A17 Pro integrates 19 Billion transistors and is manufactured in the bleeding edge 3nm (N3B) process at TSMC.

Reviews for the Apple A17 Pro processor

Apple iPad mini 7 Review. (Image source: Daniel Schmidt)

Apple iPad mini 7 (2024) review: This compact tablet continues to be nearly unrivaled

The new Apple iPad mini is certainly the best tablet in its size class, combining everything that a compact tablet should have. The Cupertino-giant has, however, failed to put the finishing touches to the Mini 7, so it doesn't really have that high-end feel.
