Apple A19 Pro

The Apple A19 Pro (codenamed Thera) is a smartphone chip from Apple that was launched in 2025. It integrates 6 CPU cores divided into two performance cores with up to 4.26 GHz and 16 MB L2 cache and four efficiency cores with up to 2.6 GHz and 6 MB L2 cache. Together, the CPU cores can access the 32 MB system level cache (SLC). L2 and SLC cache size is the main difference to the cheaper Apple A19.
The integrated GPU can offer 5 cores (iPhone Air) or all 6 cores (iPhone 17 Pro) depending on the model and clocks with up to 1620 MHz (via @faridofanani96).
The integrated AI unit called Neural Engine still offers 16 cores, but with improved memory bandwidth according to Apple. Furthermore, the engine can work together with the new AI units in the GPU.
The integrated LPDDR5X memory controller in the iPhones supports 12 GB LPDDR5X-9600 (resp. 8533 in the Air) with up to 75.8 GB/s memory bandwidth.
The CPU performance is improved compared to the Apple A18 Pro by approx. 15% (single core) or 20% (multi-core) and thanks to the new vapor-chamber cooling in the iPhones, sustained performance in particular has been improved.
The chip is manufactured in the modern N3P process at TSMC.
