Apple will release the iPhone 17 series in September. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max can both be expected to feature the company's A19 Pro chipset, and a new leak has now provided some insight into how the chipset could perform.
As shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Apple's A19 Pro chipset is unlikely to be a huge upgrade on the A18 Pro. Supposedly, the chipset is currently estimated to score around 4,000 on Geekbench 6's single-core test, and in the region of 10,000 on the multi-core test.
While those numbers aren't the most exact, they provide a loose clue as to how the A19 Pro could perform. Comparatively, the A18 Pro on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max typically score around 3,500 and 8,900 on Geekbench's single-core and multi-core tests respectively. Those numbers translate into a 15-20% performance boost for the upcoming A19 Pro—solid relative to the A18 Pro, but would also mean the A19 Pro just about edges the M4 in single-core performance.
Apple's A19 Pro is expected to be built on TSMC's N3P node, much like the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and MediaTek Dimensity 9500. All three chipsets are expected to debut in September, too.
